I'm not a fussy person or a push over but the venders at this park were the pushiest by far in DR! If I could have browsed I would have probably brought more but couldn't be bothered to fight with them over price anymore! And just kept saying no in the end to even go into the shops! I may... More

Thanks God I could have a great time because of my company, but I was so exhausted about people who sales, they dont even let you see what they sale and they think they know what you are looking for and what you need. I was so sad about it. After all I liked but I expected more to see..... More

These people also do the Dolphin Adventures, and I would suggest going there instead, although I've never gone myself. I'm very surprised there were any positive reviews about this place and I am happy to see that some people enjoyed themselves. The experience we had was very different than some of the others, evidently. The shows were very sad and... More

Be prepared to pay. On entering you walk the gauntlet of pushy vendors selling cheap over priced. Crap

Please don't waste your money on this one unless you can afford to. Very few animals to see. Couldn't even get a free bottle of water. At you to buy everything. Was not enjoyable. Accept the dolphin and sea lion show.

Though I haven't been to Manati Park this year, the positive points were, a good dolphin show and also a good horse show. I was impressed at how well they treated and groomed the horses prior and after the show. I have mixed feelings about the wonderful dolphins in a small pool, doing the same thing day after day??

They bring you in and rush you through with pics of the dancers and parrots before you know what is happening ( and don't give you time to take your own pics.) I agree that the Dolphin pool was way to small, Although I did go swimming with them and loved it, but they have it set up so they... More

I believe that the dolphin swim is worthwhile if you have never done it before. However, it is a bit expensive: $125 each plus $50 for a 2-person dvd which includes 50 pictures of couples (or 2 children). The park itself has a lot of potential, but seems to be in need of a little TLC. We definitely enjoyed the... More

Loved the hospitality by the crew members, specially Ariela who was our personal guide. The food inside the park is very expensive, but oveall I like it a lot. The swiming with the dolphins atraction was a little pricy but worht every penny!
