Isla Saona

Isla Saona is surrounded by beautiful beaches and history, and is one of the most sought after places in the southeast of the Dominican Republic.

A stop is made at the natural swimming pool at Playa Palmilla, about 200 or 300 meters from the beach line, with the water at the knees or at the waist, to enjoy the perfect scenery and climate. Bathers have to enjoy around 800 meters parallel to the beach, between the white sand and the huge coral terrace that separates the natural pool from the open sea and that makes this geological wonder possible.

It was definitely the highest point of my trip. The combination of adventure and relaxation is perfect. The natural pool was one of my favorite moments and the island is a real paradise. The team always attentive and with very good energy. I recommend it 100%.

Everything was very well organized from transport to return.
Everything was very well organized from transport to return. The excursion is long but completely worth it. We enjoy the sea, the catamaran with music and drinks, and the island which is simply beautiful. It is one of the best activities you can do in Punta Cana.

A day in Caribbean paradise
It was an amazing experience from start to finish. The boat trip was exciting and the stop at the natural pool was something unique, the water transparent and full of starfish.On arrival at Saône Island everything looked like a postcard, white sand, palm trees and a spectacular sea. Lunch was very good and the atmosphere throughout the tour was excellent.

Lose a day at the beach or pool to a fake adventure.
First, what they're proposing is a multi-hour trip to a place that's not worth it. The place is very neglected and the service is very bad, The food provided to the tourist is lousy (both in quality and service)
A day in a wasted All nclusive hotel.

Go without children or adults with reduced mobility !!!
Bad experience. They picked us up 7 am, they picked you up from all the hotels, they gathered you in another one, an hour of travel with a cheerleader who screams all the time, we arrived and by boat they transferred you to the sailboat, if you leave in the second boat you have to go tight and in places that are neither for older adults or with little mobility and less with young children, which do not clarify you anywhere. Then they arrive at the pools, that the scenery is beautiful, just a while you arrive on the island, starved because you leave without breakfast, it was closed in the hotel, you expect there is a good Service and there is nothing, 3 meats, 3 salads (horrible) and 3 fruits. You're on the beach for a while and how cattle again take you to the boats, which everyone desperate to climb and tired cram. Again if you have children forget about being considerate of them. Exhausted, hungry and super uncomfortable, a 2 hour drive to get there, get in the collective for another hour... really the scenery is beautiful, but it is not worth wasting a day of hotel and comfort. More if you're with kids. Unfortunately it is observed how the beautiful landscapes are destroyed by the
Man. Greetings
