It is 1 of the most beautiful places on EARTH!! This is where they filmed Pirates of the Caribbean and Blue Lagoon!! No photoshop!
If you ever have a chance to visit this place I highly recommend it. It's just absolutely beautiful. The water was so warm, calm and the sand was so soft. We took a catamaran Excursion for the day and had a blast. The beach was not crowded at all which was very nice.
Beautiful day spent in a paradise location. Very very good indeed.
Nice trip for tourists. Corral reefs are fake. They blasted reefs from some other places around the island and transported it there. Even if it's full of fishes, the reefs are dead. That is really sad to destroy environmental beauty for this! Food was great and sea was wonderfull.
Gorgeous place. For those looking for national park- and reserve-visits, can be disappointing, unless you go to Mano Juan, the endemic village on the south shore of the island. Tropical beach paradise.
Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking in some spots. Many your operators will take you on a catamaran in the morning and return you on a fast boat in the afternoon. The trip typically includes a stop at a natural open ocean pool, lunch, music and 3 hour stay on Saona island is worth the $70 to $95 par person cost. The only downside is that there are many tour operators and the east side beach can get really full. Look for an operator that has guaranteed spots on the west, or Caribbean side of the island. The waters are tranquil and less congested.
The park itself is probably amazing however the boat tour was more of a party boat with music in excess of 100 decibels.. we swim at a sandbar for about 20 minutes then spent 2 hours in the park for lunch but it seemed like a tourist trap..
Lots of vendors and beach chairs
I LOVED our time in the Dominican. 10 Wonderful days!! Soana Island was AMAZING. The blue water, white sandy beaches, the laid back atmosphere. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
I was in Saona Island, you take a boat from La Romana. Very nice day tour, the island has its tourist facilities. Normally the offer all you can drink (open bar) during the whole trip. Be ware! 😁🥂
Beautiful sandy beaches with shallow slope far out into the Caribbean Sea. Turquoise blue waters are where I was told The Blue Lagoon was filmed in the early 1980s. The beach experience was nice. Grilled seafood and other Dominican fare was pretty good. The included beverages was more limited than I had hoped.
Excellente place to go with the family and friends. The people that work there is friendly. They keep the place clean an organized. The beach is beautifull.
Absolutely amazing place. Feels like a heaven from "Bounty" chocolate bar ads.
We went to Soana island and we're very happy we did. It was a full day of being shuttled around between snorkeling in the morning, going to a sand bar with starfish, then getting to the island for several hours. They fed us a Dominican lunch that was some of the best food I had while on the island before taking us on a catamaran with dancing for another couple of hours. This park is beautiful.
