Beautiful constructions disguised under olden time, very beautiful type on the river, fascinating walk by a high-speed boat on the river and the cleanest sea on island, fascinating travel, the personnel very friendly and cheerful

This is a medieval place in a mountain of la Romana. It has a hotel and a school for design. It was built in the 70s. Gorgeous place

“Before it was good...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2012

I havent been in Catalina but Altos de Chavón is nice. The problem is that right now they charge 20$ per person to get in and that,s way too much... The place is beautiful but too expensive for what they offer...

“Paridise”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 6, 2012

This trip was good Altos de Chevron was good but could have done with a bit more time there, the speed boat from bayahibe was hilarious weaving in & out of the waves & crossing our sister speed boat, the star fish experience was good fun with rum & coke in hand , the Saona island bbq was good but beware you get bit on the island under the trees so stay on the beach. & finally the cattermaran on the way back was a laugh a minute salsa dancing & yet more rum & cokes & relaxing in the sun What a day 10 out of ten
