Great island but it was almost 8 hour day from Breathless Resort and back - The island was beautiful, food was plentiful and good. the beach was amazing - water was calm. There was one vendor aggressive vendor who wouldn't take no for answer forms jewelry - even plain it on a females leg and refusing to remove it.

Natural pool was awesome - Natural pool was incredible experience. You can walk on ocean floor as water is 4-5 feet deep. Awesome experience for whole family. Take cheap sunglasses as speed boat ride can damage your sunglasses.

A special day made even better! - My wife and I are here in La Republica Dominicana and we are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. This is our second time going to Isla Saona and my fourth time going overall. The whole day was absolutely perfect from the driver to the guides, everyone was very accommodating and a pleasure.

Beautiful island, good value but lots of waiting! - We were worried about this due to some of the reviews but were pleasantly surprised. It is definitely a long day, we were picked up at 7.40, had a gas station stop and picked up various other people. Didn’t get to Bayahíbe until 10, took a short walk to the port and got on the first boat at 10.30. I didn’t realise their would be so many boat transfers etc, this definitely took the longest about of time.
Atmosphere on the Cataraman going there was brilliant and lots of rum and soft drinks to be had, staff were great and got everyone dancing.
Arrived at the natural pool around 10.45, it was great. So lovely to swim in and was just beautiful.
Got to The island itself about 1.15 and it was incredible, so beautiful and lots to see. Lunch was good, I’m a fussy eater but had enough to eat. The best pina colada ever for $10 and lots of sunbeds! Left the island at 3.30.
The boat back was the longest, waiting around for people and the description said speedboat but it felt like forever and we weren’t going as quick as other speedboats. Then we had to hang around for a smaller boat to take us back to the port.
All in all, arrived back to the hotel around 8pm so a 12 hour day! But would do it again for the island, just be prepared for lots of hanging around. Worth it and good value too!

Excursion was great but with less responsibility - Everything was good, bys was comfortable, boat party was great to the island, blue lagoon was insane place to swim, I wish we were taken first there or more time provided. Only issue I had, at the time of coach and bus change, I went to quick restroom and told them going to toilet, but I saw they left me, so I had to run far to catch, guide even did not count the number of people should be there, it was frustrating and other guests were mad that they left me behind with out waiting, it was annoying

Saona Island Is Beautiful but… - The island is absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. What I didn’t like is the numerous transportation transfer from shuttle to the bus and having to wait in the rain because the bus was not there to take us back on time. I also did not like transition from one catamaran to another boat as it was a safety hazard the way they transported us as the boaTwas wet and slippery. Overall, good party vibes on the larger boat and the island is stunning.

Badly organized - Probably the worded organized tour I been in Punta Cana. We spent the 30 min waiting for pick up when operator told us that they will only 5 min and we are not at pick up point they will leave us and I will loose my money. We travelled to Bayahibe and again no organization everyone was just waiting to see what happen. Going back no meeting point to call from guide. Multiple people upset

Lost phone / Tlf Perdido (iPhone) - Buenas tatdes. Mira sé que es responsabilidad de uno cuidar sus objetos personales. Pero a la misma vez se supone que el personal que contratan es el correcto. A mí esposa en el tour que tuvimos, en el bus (transporte) que nos dejaba, en donde las bans nos recogía para dejarnos en los hoteles, se le quedó el celular. Y practicamente fuimos los últimos en bajarnos y cuando nos dimos cuenta de lo sucedido nos contactamos y nos dijeron que alli no había nada. Es increíble que este tipo de cosas sucedan, pues el turista es a quienes ustedes deben cuidar y fue una muy mala experiencia, porque nadie nos dio una respuesta.

Good afternoon. Look, I know it's one's responsibility to take care of personal belongings. But at the same time, the staff you hire is supposed to be the right one. During the tour we had, my wife left her phone on the bus (transport) that dropped us off and picked us up to take us to the hotels. We were practically the last ones to get off, and when we realized what had happened, we contacted you, and you said there was nothing there. It's incredible that this type of thing happens because tourists are the ones you should be taking care of, and it was a very bad experience because no one gave us an answer.

Worst experience - First the excursion was canceled due to weather, however the day it was scheduled the weather was perfect. Secondly, we never got picked up for excursion and was told we didn't reschedule...after I sceenshot proof, a mere apology after screwing up our last day here.
