The same thing happened to me, when I stayed at a resort in DR. However, my travel agent had booked this excursion through Viator, it was a local company.. Did you book through the Resort itself, or through a local company on your own. It was lovely, but a stressful excursion, we switched of vehicles, and boats multiple times as well, and no one spoke English. I have been travelling around, and I found it was super sketchy myself. It was my mom's first vacation, and she was really stressed out the entire time.
Watched TH-cam videos on this All the companies to that island do this Best way to do the island is rent your own private boat But seems to be the norm for this island
You think that was bad lol! We booked a buggy excursion and by then end of the day all the buggies broke down everyone was stranded as the sun went down standing around in the dark. Everyone finally made it back to the buggy place and the owner had bounced out leaving the employees to deal with 30 angry customers. Oh and the owner took all the cash before she bounced out so no refunds for anyone. Excursions can be very hit and miss in the DR and has nothing to do with the resort but can ruin your day real quick!
Oh my word Jen that’s actually kind of terrifying - all the switching of boats and cars and not really being given any clear instructions yeesh. So glad you got back to the hotel safe and sound! (Minus the tummy troubles 🙄)
I can only do this because I am a travel agent. I explain this in the video. They want us to explore everything so that we can more adequately help our clients :)

I can not believe that nightmare of an excursion - what a catastrophe!! Happy belated birthday!
Are we able to go to mirage coffee shop even if staying at elegance?

I wish they would have better options. It is so frustrating!
What a nightmare! Hurts just to hear what you both went through!!

Oh no! Do you happen to know the name of the company so I can be sure to avoid? That’s crazy!

OMG! That was so awful. Sorry you had that experience.
Love the Majestic Resort. But that excursion Hell NO!
Truly AWFUL!
Which of the 3 (Elegance, Mirage and Colonial) was your favourite?
What a nightmare! I would have lost my mind!
It was tragic 😂😅
Hang on, how were you able to go to the other resorts? They don't allow you to stay at one and play at 3 anymore
I’m so sorry Jen.
That would be so scary!!!
I am staying at the Majestic in Sep. What was your thoughts thus far?
Thats why i never leave the resort, no thank you
Jen, I bet you were both worn out at the end of that day. I know that was aggravating. I would have lost my patience with whoever was in charge. Lol.
It was such a looong day. I couldn't wait to get back to the resort.
So you are allowed to eat and go to the other Majestic resorts? I have read multiple places that you're not allowed to.

Been to Saona Island twice---- I think it is over rated. Food always shitty, never there long, and a hassle to get there.
Disgusting!!! Sorry that happened to you !!
