    Was sold as accommodation for someone 60. I had major trouble transferring boats. However, my biggest complaint is with your so called expert photographers. We reluctantly agreed to pay 250.00 US dollars. Since our card was at hotel, he followed us there and demand ed payment. We have not received any pictures?? My name is Troy Liegl, if I don't get pictures soon I will open fraud case that will prevent ya'll using CC in future my email is **********. what a rip off!

    Everything was wonderful. The only reason why i rated a 6 on service is because we weren't supplied with bottled water. I think that would be a must especially since people can get dehydrated very easily. However that does not change how much fun we had and i would still recommend using Tiu for the excursion. Great job overall

    Ir a la playa de Saona quizás no es necesario, nos tocó una playa con muchas rocas/piedras, y los vendedores que ''insistían'' en ofrecer servicios/productos. Hubiera sido mucho mejor ir a la playa natural y de ahí directo la playa privada Ron Barceló. Los snacks durante el paseo, frutas y sándwich, excelente. La tripulación en el catamaran, excelente, a pesar de la lluvia, supieron alegrar a la gente. Hay una chiquita, rubia con tatuaje en un brazo, parece supervisora, excelente servicio

    We were totally miss sold this so called high end experience. The food was disappointing the locations stunning but on Saona Island you are permanently hassled for a massage or to buy gifts - not a relaxing experience at all!! We also weren't explained that we would be sat on a coach for over 2.5 hours to get to the area to get on an over crowded boat. The next Island Barcelo was beautiful but again another crammed boat and the facilities were really run down no fresh water to shower

    The only part of the excursion that we did not enjoy was having to walk a couple of blocks to get to the bus and then the same thing on the way back after sunset in the dark. Otherwise the trip was fantastic and the crew were excellent.

    The tour guide was great for an all inclusive package only rum was offered. Toliets were over flowing and need maintenance. No back up plan for bad weather
