Cheap hotels in Isla Saona

Juan Carlos is a Swiss/Spanish nice and easy going guy. He is a perfect host. I felt really comfortable in his house. He made sure I had a great and genuine experience in my short time in the island, and treated me as a friend. He was kind enough to provide breakfast, lunch and dinner at a very fair price. Same for boat transportation to the island. It was great to walk around and share some talks with him. The place is simple, as I would expect for an small island, but tidy and clean. The washroom is private, and it is outside the room. Don’t expect a hotel room. He also let me use, as a courtesy, his standup board, snorkel and bicycle. You could also rent for a very fair price his little moto. Don’t forget your repellent as I did. Juan has a nice little dog Mandy which fast will be your friend. I highly recommend the place, and I really hope I can come back! Finally, you pay the accommodation and other things you consume with cash only, so bring enough cash, as you won’t have ATMs around. Don’t leave your garbage behind!

Host Julio is very hospitable

Exceeded my expectations for an island stay. Communication regarding cost and boat transfered clear and transparent via Whatsapp, early check in was made possible in our case, modern air conditioning and cosy family room with reasonable storage space and functional shower and solid plumbing. Very homey feeling lady in charge welcoming and helpful. Food was delicious prepared by an experienced chef and served by the beach at a time that was agreed in advance. The property is in easy walking distance to the pier with two beautiful beaches accessible in foot or my rental bike or boat or motor taxi within 30-70 minutes depending on model of transportation. Keep in mind this is an island, food options will be limited,toilet paper goes in the bin, things will get sandy, there a more (friendly) stray dogs everywhere. We were lucky for our stay with plenty of breeze but reportedly there can be lots of mosquitoes at night time so come prepared.
