Next, the boat takes you to a beautiful beach area on Saona Island. Here you will enjoy sunbeds, shade, showers, restrooms, and an open bar. Around midday, you’ll be served a large buffet featuring barbecue meats, fish, meatballs, seafood paella, hot and cold pasta, rice, beans, salads, bread, fruits, and more.
