Saône Island - Amazing experience, thank you very much to Jaime monitor from Dresden divers for the way we work and teach diving we have spent a day to remember all our lives

Extraordinary - Sand is a treasure with its White color, the Natural Pool is unique. And the food is really woaw out there. Not to mention the celebration with the Vitame R 😁🍍

Beautiful and memorable island. - The Island is a place of unique beauty, the colors of the water mix between green and blue, making it the ideal landscape for stunning photos and videos.

Best birthday trip! - So fun! The water was so beautiful, boat ride was fun, and everyone was so helpful and nice. 100% worth it for the price you pay. Went for my birthday and had an amazing time. Thank you to every worker there!

The water was crystal... - The water was crystal clear and clean. The temperature was perfect and it was open and lots of space to swim. The sands were white and not a rock nearby. It was an excellent experience.

Beautiful place, party like no other place but too many people - It it’s true the place it’s a total paradise full of beach sun and liquor. It’s a party island from the catamaran to the beach the place it’s to have fun and party! But it’s super crowded too manny people at the same time at the same place. The boats were all full of people. But the ambiance was party! It was enjoyable but there were too many people.

There could have been... - There could have been better organization at Isla saona. As far as buffet. The add was a little misleading. There was no open bar. Poor quality food.

Long long day for only 2 hours on the beach - It took over 6 hours of traveling to get to the island for only 2 hours on the island. The island was beautiful and so was the water. Just know what you’re getting into before you go. You don’t get breakfast either, you do get lunch once you get to the island.

A total disappointment - A tour that sells you as a paradise and it is not! They offer you an open bar that's coke and Ron all the way! We last longer to get to the boarding place than to be on SaOna Island! They took us to some diskette natural pools and gave us rum with cola again! A total disappointment! The only thing I liked was the colors of the sea, from there until the treatment of the guides was terrible, there was no coordination between those to handle a tour of that magnitude! If you want to throw away the money make that tour totally disappointed!

Disappointment! Predatory tourism!! - Predatory tourism!! I was sad and ashamed to have participated in this tourist fraud and environmental degradation. I do not know which part of the island you show in these images, but what I saw was a complete lack of structure, a degraded beach, full of scattered garbage (plastic, glass, food...). And animals, only dead... We booked the tour of the Hotelbeds offered by the company Maxi International Center Tours which picked us up and left us at the hotel at the agreed time. The Guide 'Dany Boy' picked us up at 7:50h and tried to encourage and guide the group during the trip of almost 1:30h to the port of Bayahibe where we picked up a catamaran. Until then, it's fine. On the catamaran journey we took almost 2h until the first stop, a sand bank with crystal clear water and beautiful blue color. Wonderful! During the trip we served Coca-Cola and rum and the animators made the trip more pleasant. We stayed 30 minutes in this paradise and headed for Saona. After another 35 minutes by boat, we picked up boats to land on the beach. Dangerous landing for people with little mobility. On the island there were muuuuuita people. We were directed to a tent where we received guidance on lunch, served there, on plastic dishes that from time to time flew on the sand. The drink was again Coca-Cola, rum and water. The food, camping. After lunch we tried to get into the sea. On the beach there was no room in the sand!! The sun loungers were all broken, dirty, people were fighting broken chairs and the shadow of a few coconuts. The sea was beautiful, on the horizon only. On the beach there is a lot of coral and stones and the winds of the boats stir all the water and it becomes impossible to enter the sea. At that time we were sitting in the tent, which was the only place possible to sit, with an immense heat, no water in the bathroom, already precarious and, amazement, NO DRINKING WATER!! The water ended after 1:30 when we were on the island. We decided to walk left towards an area with more coconut trees and shade. All depredated and destroyed. Abandoned! Broken kiosks, tables and chairs thrown, garbage everywhere!!! Pineapple, dishes with food.the place parce that maybe one day was a bar or something. A disgust... Sad!! The sea was still full of dead rocks and corals. But there was still broken glass on the rocks and the floor. Impossible a sea bath to refresh. It smells rotten. The view from the sea horizon was wonderful, but the island was ruined by predatory exploitation and garbage. We're waiting for the time to come back. Like everyone on the tour, before the agreed time we were eager to get out of there. The round trip, speedboat, took 35 min. Everyone on the boat was sad. But the Captain insisted on keeping a very loud sound, despite the requests and the people with their hands tapping their ears. Again without drinking water. Then, another 1:30h of bus trip with controversial and uninteresting stops, we managed to arrive at the hotel. We're exhausted and sad that we've wasted 10 hours of our lives on this. The company Maxi International Center Tours (Telephone +1 829 986 2790) should be ashamed to offer this to anyone! And the Dominican Republic authorities should regulate this tourism better.
