Took this trip to Saona from Punta Cana through our Apple Vacations rep. Our guide was very informative and entertaining. The trip over to the island on the cataraman was beautiful. Lots of fun music and dancing the merengue. Did not like the people on the island trying to selling things "cheapie, cheapie" or the massage ladies. I went to... More

Then an hour or so on the katamaran (party begins). a stop at the natural swimming pool (a sand bar, water is clear and warm, star fish may be found - photo's only) finally arriving at Saona Island (location of "The Blue Lagoon" movie)...

We bought a package deal at our hotel to Saona. We were brought to Saona on a catamaran which included all you could drink booze,the female staff insisted everyone dance with them on the boat.

calm and beautiful. hot waters e great great pictures. a paradise on earth. the place to see an visit in republica dominicana
