Miserable day

2.00One huge tourist trap. The boat was fine enough. You stop at a sand bar and stand in waist high water while they take cheesy pictures that they later try to sell you. They give you plastic cups where you can drink rum and coke. Hundreds of people out there, just a big tourist spot. Then you get to the "private island" where when you get off the boat, people selling massages, bracelets, cigars, etc. bombard you and don't leave you alone the entire time. Once we set up our beach chairs we had no less than 25+ vendors incessantly trying to sell you stuff. Including waking me up and shaking my leg. They just start rubbing your shoulders with oil and then try to get you to pay for a massage. They put necklaces and bracelets on without your permission and then get mad when you take it off. Over and over again the entire time. Then you get into a cattle line for lunch where it's some pasta salad, some fruit, and give you 2 small pieces of terrible meat. The food was so bad, and there definitely wasn't seconds, so it's not a "hearty BBQ buffet." Then you wrap up by getting back on a boat, taking it to a catamaran where you bake in the sun for almost 2 hours to get back where all kinds of S. American tourists get drunk and are dancing to super loud music, falling over and screaming the whole time. It was hell on earth for us that don't drink and just wanted to get home. The icing on the cake aside from all the employees on the boat walking around the whole time with a hat asking for tips and trying to sell you more junk was the drive home in a cramped shuttle with a bunch more people while getting car sick from aggressive driving. Was a pretty miserable day where we paid almost $300 for 4 of us to sit on a beach for 2 hours in a tourist trap. Do not recommend.
Journey to Saône Island from Bayahibe

5.00We took the excursion with Viator to visit Saône Island and it was an excellent experience. They were very punctual in picking up and transporting to the place where we took the boat. We first enjoyed the natural pool, which was spectacular, and then we went to the beach of Saona Island, where we were offered a delicious lunch. Our guide Max was extremely attentive, helpful and always kept an eye on the group. Also other members of the team took care of us very well, but he was the one who stood out. At the end, the pick-up back to the hotel was also punctual. Overall, an organized, responsible and highly recommended service.
AWFUL experience. Even...

1.00AWFUL experience. Even though it states transportation was included, it isn’t. We were charged extra for the trip. Completely disorganized. They told us we would get back to our resort at a certain time and we made it back 2 hours after that. Not to mention, restrooms are extremely limited and ABSOLUTELY disgusting when available. Do not recommend.
The beautiful landscape the rest regular. They should make amends to the client. Above the port the delay was great until n

4.00The boat to the island stayed twice. That was late. Beautiful island but the Food and Drink Service lousy. Withdrawal for the ship delayed. The sea and the natural pool. Good.
