The concept, the owners, the comforts of the cabaña, the proximity to beaches!

Diego Turkey

We liked everything! Gwendal and Shirley were amazing hosts, they are so knowledgeable about the island and helpful. The huts that you stay in are so cute and cozy! The bathrooms and showers were simple, but good. This is one of the only places on the island that has electricity. They just rescued an adorable little kitten named Panda and it’s fun to see her walking around the property. They have bicycles, snorkeling gear, and a small boat for hire if you would like.

This lodge is located on a beautiful island. Really worth to visit. The accommodation is really clean, has nice hosts who want to advise you about anything. unfortunately I got sick while staying there and the hosts were really nice about helping me.

We have been well informed about what to expect so we were not surprised or disappointed. It is lovely place and we enjoyed every single minute of our staying on Saona island. The island is totally worth staying over night.

Unique experience, beautiful lodge, very cute cabines, the bed was very comfortable and the mosquito net super helpful. The staff is very friendly. The island is great, with a couple of amazing beaches walking distance and the people are very friendly.

Loved it! Considering the island's barely basic infrastructure, Shirley and Gwendal have done an amazing job creating a small paradise with everything you need. I am particularly grateful for the perfectly functioning mosquito net around the bed; I slept without a single bug annoying me :) Shirley and Gwendal are lovely, helpful hosts that truly care about the environment and protecting the island's beautiful ecosystems. The cabins and shared facilities are clean and comfortable.
