Manati Park is quite rightly heading rapidly to the bottom of all the trip advisor reviews for Dominican Republic visitor attractions - this place is simply horrible. As previous reviewers have explained in detail, the staff around the food and shop area are overly pushy trying to sell all manner of tacky rubbish, as well as quite openly leering and... more

We had an opportunity to go to Manati Park while we were on vacation. When we arrived at the park, we were met by our tour guide Richard, who gave our group of six people a personal tour of the park. Richard was friendly, accommodating and funny and told us it was free to swim with the crocodiles. The park... more

This place is a disgrace. The animals are kept in terrible conditions and the staff are perverts. I went here in September 2009 and it was almost empty when we arrived with about 5 staff members for every member of the public. As soon as we walked through the gates we were harassed by someone with a snake and a... more

The dolphin swim was really good and The big sea lion kiss was good for Vera. The monkeys, birds and the iguanas were very interesting. The horse show was a little disappointing. We missed the bird show and the Taino Indian show :( We got an extra little show because one of the dolphins got a little [--] and wacked... more

Do not let anyone try to tell you that this a place to spend the day. Unless your child has never seen an animal other than house pets, please save your money. They reel you in advertising as a dolphin encounter. The dolphin encounter is only done once a day, at 2 pm. At that time, dolphin braclets sit on... more
