“A beautiful beach with turquoise waters, white sand, surrounded by coconut palms, large and beautiful parrots singing in the coconut palms, friendly and attentive people.”
“Experience something magical on this beach 🏖️”
“🇩🇴🌴 Saona Island is one of those places that reminds you why the Dominican Republic effortlessly captivates you. White sand, crystal-clear water that looks hand-painted, and swaying palm trees complete the perfect landscape. From the moment you arrive, time slows down, and the only thing that matters is enjoying yourself. The experience combines pristine nature, a salty breeze, and that relaxed Caribbean vibe that feels authentic. Whether strolling along the shore, swimming in the turquoise water, or simply gazing at the horizon, Saona exudes peace and Dominican pride. A destination that needs no filters or exaggeration: Saona is sun, sea, and the essence of the Dominican Republic, ideal for disconnecting, spending time with family, and creating memories that will stay with you long after you leave the hotel.”
“One of the most beautiful place in the world”
“The most beautiful place on the planet that I've ever seen with my own eyes. It's an incredibly beautiful place, and a 2-3 hour tour is woefully short; you need to spend the whole day there.”
“Paradise if you explore independently... a bit more expensive, but worth it. Private boat tours offer access to quieter, less crowded areas. Avoid overcrowded charter boats that will take you to tourist-packed spots with little time to enjoy the scenery!”
“It's beautiful, but it's too crowded and more like a business, too bad”
“Absolutely stunning place. Like someone else mentioned, water quality is not that great, not the clearest, but a lot of marine life in it. I hope this little paradise doesn't get ruined by tourism.”
“The island is beautiful!!! Lots of palm trees and lovely beaches, but the food service was very bad, at least where I went!!!”
“Peaceful island worth going but be prepared for the journey to the island is horrible. Take about 1:30 mins then walking to the boat. Started the journey to island at 7:25 and got to island at 2pm because of picking other guests from hotels and stopping at various souvenir places. Everything was expensive to buy like phone cover for water $10. Please Take your towel, swim suit, sun cream, hat and $1 notes if you want tips to be give to hard working individuals.”
“A beautiful and paradisiacal place in the Caribbean! Simply unmissable if you're visiting the Dominican Republic. Any tour that takes you to this island is a must-do. The food offered on the tour is simple but delicious. What's truly worthwhile is the wonder of the sea and its beaches.”
“Very friendly people. Bring insect repellent. We did both hikes to the beaches. They're known for being long. It was excellent for exercise. Try to enjoy it when there aren't many tourists. Don't let the place get lost. There's a lot of plastic waste everywhere.”
“Truly impressed, beautiful.”
“The photos truly don't do justice to the majesty of its beaches. I'm in love with the country and its cuisine.”
“The experience was spectacular. One of the most beautiful beaches in the Dominican Republic. Tours are easy to find in Bayahibe. We got a tour from Punta Cana for USD 80.”
“A beautiful Beach!”
“The beach was packed with people, they want to charge you for everything, and everything was expensive. It's crazy. The beach itself is beautiful, though, nothing to envy about Mexico.”
“Great place, it's a shame they treat tourists so badly... I don't think I'll be back, not because of the place itself, but because of the people.”
“One of the most beautiful places I've been to! Everything is gorgeous!”
“An unforgettable day!!!”
“Perhaps the best beach I've ever been to. It's incredibly beautiful. If you haven't been to the Caribbean, it's the kind of beach you imagine before you go. I would go back a thousand times.”
“...a dream come true...”
“Amazin beach. A must if you go to domenican republic”
“Amazing island”
“Wow, Saona Island is paradise on earth! It's an incredible place with crystal clear waters and very calm waves. We were lucky enough that our tour gave us more time than usual; we were there from 1 pm to 6 pm. I would definitely return to the island many times. There are public restrooms and a buffet service included in the tours you book. They always make sure everyone gets back safely. There are lounge chairs on the beach, but they get very crowded, so sometimes you'll have to sit on the sand, but it's very enjoyable. I've been to Cielito in Cozumel, Mexico, and Saona Island is a thousand times better.”
“The beach is beautiful, unfortunately there are seasons when it gets full of sargassum and loses all its appeal; there are many insistent people trying to sell you crafts and food, it's a bit annoying.”
“Amazing! Spectacular!”
“A heavenly place!”
“One of those must-see places. Superb!”
“Amazing to see the clear blue water and white sands. Because because any pictures taken by the tour etc cost extra for all of them then $10 for the cocktails.”
“What can I say? An amazing place, crystal clear sea, I recommend it 100%.”
“We had a great time, thank you.”
“In my opinion, the best island in the entire Dominican Republic. While the sand has a bit of trash, the sea is completely clean. There are many corals and starfish, ideal for snorkeling and taking beautiful photos. Although most of the excursions offered there are very short (about an hour and a half on the beach), there are cheaper options with fewer amenities (like food and drinks). You can enjoy the beach much more with more time.”
“A place straight out of a movie”
“Beautiful island, friendy locals, beautiful sea”
“Un lugar único, sin sargazo, con piscinas naturales y la temperatura ideal del agua, playa y cerveza”
“Lovely place in beautiful blue waters”
“La playa es hermosa, con aguas cristalinas y arena blanca. Según la temporada, puede haber algo de oleaje y presencia de sargazo, pero sigue siendo un lugar encantador para disfrutar. Cuenta con baños públicos, aunque no siempre están en las mejores condiciones de higiene. Te recomiendo llevar tus propias bebidas y snacks, ya que los precios en la isla suelen ser elevados. Los tours hacia Isla Saona varían bastante en precio, pero no deberías pagar más de RD$5,000 (alrededor de USD$90) por persona. Ese monto debe incluir el transporte en lancha, almuerzo y, en muchos casos, barra libre. Es importante que negocien directamente con los locales para obtener un mejor precio. No olvides usar protector solar, ¡y sobre todo disfruta de la belleza de mi país!”
“Beautiful”
“Absolutely gorgeous, a paradise on earth. Always choose to arrive as early as possible, prioritize that. You'll be able to find some little spots on the beach all to yourself.”
“Too many people. They're not taking care of the island. Lots of dirt and neglected areas. Please, Dominicans, don't destroy and take care of the beautiful landscape you have.”
“It's a true paradise, absolutely beautiful!”
“Excelente sitio vacacional! excelente vista, paisaje, y sobre todo excelente ese mar!”
“Playa hermosa, paradisíaca pero algo sucia por algunos lugares. Muchas gente y muchas lanchas...”
“Beautiful place, where movies like The Blue Lagoon and Moana were filmed and inspired... The beach is spectacular, with calm, crystal-clear waters. The associated services make your stay enjoyable, along with the guides and combined transportation: catamaran and speedboats... If you're in or near Punta Cana, Saona Island is a must-see.”
“Here is the one the best beaches that I’ve ever been. It’s definitely like a paradise with all palm trees and turquoise water. You can sip your coconut water or pina colada right after your swimming. It’s a quite packed beach as all boat tours arrive at the same time almost, but it’s definitely worth to go there.”
“The visit to Saona Island was very nice, although it would undoubtedly be better to visit it without so many people, without so much rushing; the costs are quite high, for example a piña colada costs 10 USD, what's wrong with them, and every person, every place, tells you that it is the best piña colada in the Caribbean.”
“Great beach, very beautiful!”
“Magnificent, nothing else to say”
“The place itself is incredible. What we didn't like was the excessive pollution from boats, catamarans, and people, which somehow diminished its charm. •IMPORTANT NOTE: There are sharp rocks and snails on the seabed, even on the shore. ~Be careful when getting off the boats~ •OF INTERESTING FACTS: ☆ The water is turquoise but not crystal clear (probably due to pollution), so you can't see the bottom. ~I lost my snorkel~ ☆ Boats pass very close to people in the water; you have to be vigilant at all times.”
“Beautiful island! Amazing crystal water”
“A beautiful White sand beach”
“A fantastic island with picture postcard scenery, a must-see in the Dominican Republic. A fantastic island with picture postcard scenery, a must-see in the Dominican Republic.”
“A very beautiful beach, a dream!”
“The beach is beautiful, but some areas have a lot of rocks; you need to know which part of the beach to choose.”
“One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen 😍”
“Very developed and with a lot of noise pollution, however the nature is stunning.”
“The best beach in the world”
“Great place”
“Wonderful experience with the natural pool 😀”
“La playa más hermosa que he conocido Saona 🥰♥️”
“The journey there is excellent, but the island itself is very dirty and there's not much to explore, although you can take some great photos.”
“I loved it, an unforgettable trip!”
“Muy lindo hermoso paradisíaco...pero lamentablemente está muy caída abajo la isla casitas que se caen abajo y mucha basura si caminas un poco...no ví lugar donde tirar la misma...supongo que siendo un lugar muy turístico debería de estar más cuidado. Pero en general me encantó.”
“This island is beautiful, and even though it's part of the Caribbean Sea, it's quite different from other beaches. The colors, the sand, the temperature—everything is different. I highly recommend going.”
“The island is beautiful..but if you are going take a private tour.. .do not do a group tour is the worse..”
“Amazing”
“Una de las playas más hermosas que he visto, es totalmente un paraíso, ame mi experiencia en isla Saona🤩”
“A beautiful place to spend the day, the sea is spectacular, the weather is delightful, the food is very limited but tasty, luckily I had a very nice guide.”
“A dream come true, this must be what paradise feels like! Sand like flour, the water dreamily clear, simply a perfect place!”
“Beautiful beach on Saona Island, with palm trees perfect for relaxing and taking photos. It's important to know that there are no sun loungers. You can take long walks along the shore. It was also very calm, at least in January (when I visited).”
“Saona island is very beauitful”
“If you don't give this island 5 stars, you're not normal, lol. It's sublime; you have to do it at least once in your life. Don't forget your camera.”
“Como en las postales,lo unico que hay piedras en el agua y los baños que no son muy recomendables”
“Excelente”
“A surreal place; photos can't even capture its beauty, because it's so much more beautiful in person. Wonderful.”
“A beautiful beach that deserves a visit ! 😍”
“A beautiful beach to visit! It's TOTALLY worth it…”
“Très belle plage à faire !!! Ça vaut la peine …”
““🇩🇴🏖Paradise on Earth🥰A must-see place when visiting the Dominican Republic. I wholeheartedly recommend it🏖🇩🇴🍍🥥””
“Beautiful beach, very friendly people and delicious food 🦞🦐🐟🐠🍣🎣☀️🕶🍹🧉🍺🏝🏖”
“A wonderful beach, perfect for beautiful photos. 100% recommended.”
“If it weren't for those beautiful natural resources, everything would have been a disaster. The beach was beautiful, as was the little bit of nature you can see. The buffet in that area was terrible. I was much better served by the hotel where I ate. I ordered the best food, even though I wasn't a VIP, and they made me feel like one, unlike those people you pay well and then expect tips for their poor service. My family will miss you, but we will return.”
“The beach is beautiful…”
“Beautiful island! Every beach is amazing!”
“Beautiful island, great beach. A cruise to Saona Island is worth it.”
“Beautiful place, paradise does exists”
“Beautiful beach, it's paradise! It was definitely worth going”
“A place that keeps you awake at night, even when you return home. The heart of the Caribbean. Fantastic sea, white sand, palm trees. Everything you need to forget about any kind of trouble. A little crowded, but with a walk along the beach you can reach smaller, deserted beaches... AN EARTHLY PARADISE.”
“A unique emotion washed over me as we sailed through those crystal clear waters toward Saona Island. The spirit of the Dominican people invades and captivates you, making you experience a truly relaxing vacation. It's here that my partner and I conceived our son.”
“Beautiful beach, calm, crystal-clear waters, and a welcoming atmosphere and friendly people on the island. We took the tour from Bayhabide. They picked us up from our hotel and dropped us off. We followed the itinerary exactly, visiting the natural pool, then arriving at the island and enjoying the beautiful day. We had a buffet lunch provided by the tour, and honestly, we had a wonderful day that exceeded my expectations. The return trip on the catamaran, with its festive atmosphere, was lovely and I highly recommend it. They were always ready to assist you and provide everything you needed to feel comfortable.”
“El paraíso mismo”
“One of the most beautiful places in D.R.”
“Paradise - I didn't want to leave here :D”
“A beautiful beach, a must-see when visiting the Dominican Republic. A catamaran cruise to Saone and the return trip by fast motorboat are additional attractions.”
“You get to this beautiful beach in Saona Island by an event that is called Saona on the hotel of the east side of Dominican Republic. The event takes you there by catamaran to another beach to walk to the Saona beach and on the return the speedboat takes you to a natural pool on the ocean that is not deep and it is clean. Then, they take you back to the hotel that you are staying. In addition, this places is work by hand and there is no car, truck or air conditioning on the island. They give fresh food and drinks.”

“The island itself is absolutely beautiful—pristine beaches, crystal clear water, and stunning scenery that lives up to the photos. The natural pool was nice and snorkeling was decent. Food on the island was plentiful though nothing special. However, the day was quite long and felt rushed at times. The boat ride there was fine but a bit cramped with so many people. On the way back, the catamaran was more party atmosphere than relaxing, which wasn't really my preference. The local vendors were friendly but persistent. Overall, it's a solid excursion with some highlights, but also some downsides that kept it from being exceptional. Worth doing if you're in the area, but manage your expectations about the pacing.”
