Punta Cana
Saona vs buggy Punta Cana for indecisive travellers
Saona = full beach day, catamaran + speedboat from Bayahibe, natural pool, lunch, open bar, suits everyone from kids to grandparents. Buggy = 3-hour adrenaline in Macao, Macao Beach + cenote + cacao plantation, you'll be filthy and laughing. Pick Saona if you want one big memory; pick buggy if you want a half-day with energy left to party at night. Many guests book both on separate days — they don't compete, they complement.
