Amazing day trip. Lots of fun (and rum)😁 - Had the best day! All went smoothly. We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the speedboat. Had to change bus on the way. Speedboat took us to the natural pool were we had rum and coke, could swim and take pictures. Water was beautiful. Saw a lot of starfish and one ray when we left for the Soana island. On the island we had lunch, food was good, more rum and coke. Spent few hours on the beach and we were taken back on catamaran with music, dancing and MORE rum (we all came back drunk)😵💫😄.
Definitely would recommend this trip!

Exploration and adrenaline by buggy - We really enjoyed this buggy tour. The roads were challenging and fun, and the stops at Macau’s cave and beach were spectacular. The team was professional and made sure we were all comfortable and safe. An unforgettable experience in Punta Cana.

Total relaxation - We enjoy every moment. The service on the catamaran and the tranquility of Saône Island were the best thing about our vacation.

Sunscape Punta Cana, DR - Was a wonderful week with family and friends during our stay stay at Sunscape Punta Cana, DR. We were in building 2, sunclub, with no complaints from check in process to check out and this was solely due to our concierge Jorge and without his support I probably would have struggled. His team was essential in making this hotel a 4-star. The hotel must figure out the a la carte system, at the moment it is a disaster. Reserving towels on the chairs need to be removed after 1hr, some hold them over 3-6hrs, the staff must be able to remove them as other guest sit in grass and sand. The beach can also use some maintenance, but for the money it’s well worth the stay at Sunscape Punta Cana, DR.

Rough at sea - The trip to Saona island was so so The transport was great. The food at the island was terrible. Dry and tasteless . Free alcohol was true but they shouldn’t say alcohol. They should say rum and coke only. They have no service for people
Like me who are diabetic. The boat we used to get back almost flipped, and that is not good when someone doesn’t know how to swim.

Not a small group tour not at all… - I searched and searched before committing to booking a tour to Saona island, I wanted a small group so when I read on this tour there was a maximum of 15 group I thought this would be a good option.
Well how misleading was that!
We were collected from our hotel no problem in a mini bus which seated about 12 so we thought this looks ok so far… then we continued to collect people for about 35 minutes, drove to a bus terminus which dropped off 8 of the original group, another group of 8 were picked up and we hit 5e road for the port, still feeling fairly optimistic at this stage!
Had a toilet stop and obligatory gift shop - nice clean loo’s so no problem with that.
A further 20 minutes to the port, on arrival we were instructed to follow this guide over the road to a meeting area, this is where I thought things are getting busy as there were lots of other groups congregating with us.
After a while we were escorted down to the dock where yes, large catamarans were being loaded with 50/60 tourists…oh no!
We were going on my worst nightmare “A PARTY BOAT”!!!
Got on, crappy thecno music at blistering volume, crowded, only rum and coke on offer not that I wanted to drink. Absolutely hated it and it was over and hours journey which felt like purgatory!
The island was nice, had a poor lunch of rice and weird mash potatoes as I’m vegetarian no choice… I sound like a real moaner but honestly this is not what I booked. 2 hours to eat and have a wander around or swim soon goes.
Eventually found our group for the return on a faster boat, not bad less loud music, good.
Back on the bus after a chaotic exchange in the car park, we were taken a few streets away to a very dodgy looking waste land with a few other vehicles around (jokingly said we’re all going to get abducted now) No idea what was going on until I asked the driver who spoke in Spanish “pool”… what? I said, he said we swim in pool!
Oh my god, I wouldn’t want to swim in that thanks, plastics rubbish everywhere, we declined and stayed in the van…
Got back to hotel at about 7.00 pm.
The driver was friendly, very friendly with one of the American guests - saw them snogging on the beach, ah well perks of the job I guess!
