Visit two dreamy islands at the heart of Cotubanama National Park. You'll set sail aboard a catamaran, stopping at sparkling natural pools before arriving at picture-perfect Saona Island for some R&R. But the real highlight? The all-new, luxurious oasis of Ron Barcelo Island. Expect tropical cocktails, a gourmet buffet and lively music. End the day in style with a DJ party and Champagne toast aboard the catamaran as the sun falls over the horizon.

Overall experience was enjoyable. The boats were fine, the beaches, water, and beach chair availability were all great. Having more shade would have been nice. The food was not of high quality and the drink sizes were laughable. The constant flow of merchants was very annoying. Overall a good experience, but not one that we would do again. Our host, drivers, and all crew members were incredible.

Our guide Danny was very Professional and explained us everything. With his sense of humor he kept everyone laughing for the all trip . This guy is “the best” we ever encountered as a guide GOOD JOB

Our guide was funny and helped us feel safe. The lunch was very good.

Staff are courteous but also fun.

Everything it perfectly

This was NOT an adult only excursion. There was a 3 month old baby, (inexcusable) and kids under the age of 13. Drinks were served in Dixie cups. This was a 13 hour day, with one meal. I would have paid more, for less hours for an adult only trip to Barcelo beach and skip the other stuff. Really disappointing.
