If you've never been to a sandy Caribbean island before, perhaps, you'll enjoy the trip. However, if you've seen sandy beaches in the Caribbean before, the trip will be a total disappointment. The most exciting part of the trip was the crew that serviced the trip. Otherwise, Saona island itself is boring, overcrowded, and overrated--not beautiful at all, and the water has nothing to do with the crystal clear water you see on the pictures. BTW, expect to spend about 2 hours tops on the island; the rest of the time is travel time. I wouldn't recommend the trip--you'll be better off spending the day in your all-inclusive resort.
