Hotels near Isla Saona, Bayahibe

Location was incredible, literally ON the beach. Clean modern rooms and friendly staff as well. Also, food was great, fresh fish everyday.

Best accommodation on Mano Juan… great people, food and helpful trips around the island.

This location is paradise. The staff is so helpful and the scenery is unbelievably gorgeous. If you are looking for a luxury experience, this won't be your taste. If you ever went to sleep away camp as a kid and miss it, and want to recreate it in a tropical paradise, look no further. The meals were tasty, fresh and filling. The beds were comfier then I expected. We loved it here so much and can't wait to come back. Sara was so amazingly helpful. We were traveling with small children and my elderly parents so we had some specific considerations and Sara really came up with the perfect solution so we could access this unique travel experience. Thank you so much, Sara, for all your help and for being such a huge part of us creating one of our most special family memories. We're so grateful to have had this beautiful opportunity and we couldn't have done it without you and your awesome staff! I want to sing your praises and also tell no one about you so there's room for us in the future! 😂

The place is very nice. I really enjoyed my stay. --- I had the most simple option (Standard double room), which includes a tent shaped separate room (exactly like in the photo), with a bed, light, electricity socket and fan. - The bed is very conformable and has a mosquito net which protects it from mosquitoes quite well (could not complain). I slept really well. - There is wifi in the property, which works pretty well everywhere (in the shared area and in the room). There is also public free wifi on the island along the whole sea line. - There are mosquitoes on the island, but in the town area of Mano Juan it is way less than if you go outside the town to the "jungle" area. In general I didn't consider mosquitoes a problem while I was in Saona Lodge or in the town area in general. - Staff of Saona Lodge meet you on the pier when you arrive. Also they will assist you to find a motorbike for rent. And in general the staff is friendly and helpful. - The beach is 150 meters from the property. The whole coast line of Mano Juan is a beach. So measure distance on Google maps to the sea, and this is a distance to the beach. The most fancy part starts from the pier (200m more). - You should carefully consider logistics of how to get to the property. As there is only one public boat going to the island. As of December 2024 it starts at 9am from Bayahibe. Other than that there is a private boat, which costs around 150-200 usd per boat (max 5 person per boat). --- I really enjoyed my stay. The atmosphere is incredible, the beach is beautiful, Saona island is gorgeous. Thank’s a lot to Saona Lodge and Mano Juan!

Very convenient, the room has everything needed, brand new, very clean. 10 min Walking distance to the dominicus beach (wonderful) and some restaurants and bars. The village is calm and enjoyable. Very good value for the money The host is very nice and helpful
