Saona i Ron Barcelo Island w Republice Dominikańskiej

Zostalismy oszukani, poprosiłem o wycieczkę w wersji premium/VIP - mała grupa tylko dla dorosłych. Pan z recepcji z JOIA Bavaro by Iberostar gdzie się zatrzymaliśmy polecił nam Panią z firmy Cosco. Powtórzyłem moje oczekiwania i jaka wersja nas interesuje, wybrałem 2 wycieczki Saona VIP i Catalina. Zapłaciłem ok 550$ - tragedia vs. oczekiwania i cena. Duża grupa z dziećmi sprzęt zdezelowany (katamaran był w opłakanym stanie - strach). Porównałem z wycieczkami w W2M - zgłaszam hotelowi tą sytuacj

Nice place - but need more entertainement. + 3 hrs on the beach and most were looking at their time. I think it needs a little of thinking about what people can enjoy. As for the food - it was good but like the chicken , it would gain being grilled in the moment and made it this little bit more engaging and authentic Dominican. It would help elevate the Barcelo experience vs being just ok. Not like time was an issue...for everyone.

The one thing I didn’t enjoy was an encounter with a photographer on the island. He asked if I wanted pictures of my daughter and myself and I said I wouldn’t purchase any photos. He said he would take some anyway. On the catamaran on the way back he kept asking me to buy the pictures. That was uncomfortable because I was clear from the beginning that I wouldn’t be buying any.

The entire excursion was between 9 and 10 hours, but we spent less than 5 hours enjoying the water and beach. The rest of the time was spent on boats traveling to and from each location. The pool area should be skipped all together to increase time at other locations where people can relax and enjoy their day. There weren't enough food and drink options while at Barcelo beach. At the end of the day when people want to get home, you take them on the catamaran, which is the slowest possible ride.

Bathrooms definitely need to be bettet

The beach had garbage all over, broken umbrellas broken boardwalk. Beach itself was beautiful.
