My soon to be hubby and I are also on a budget. We have decided to go to the Maya Riviera. We are going to book the Azul Beach Hotel. It is only going to cost about $2500 for everything, all inclusive with flight. And we are flying out of a really tiny airport in Arkansas, so I am sure you can get even better deals on flights. But wherever you decided to go make sure you check out reviews of the hotel by other travelers. There have been several places that we have wanted to go but am so glad that I read reviews of previous travelers first.The one hotel that we almost booked I found out was a partly hotel that college students frequently used. That's great for a regular vacation but not a romantic honeymoon. Anyway, hope this was some help.
