Plan my trip from Paradisus Palma Real

Keep the whole group visible in the enquiry

Paradisus Palma Real's official description includes family accommodation and the adults-only The Reserve section at Playa Bávaro. A reunion can therefore involve guests with different hotel benefits and ages. Give LoveSaona the full resort name, one organizer and every participant, rather than sending separate requests by room section. Include children's actual ages and any assistance needs so the proposed vehicle and boat can be considered for everyone.

Compare hotel experiences with a complete Saona offer

Paradisus promotes its own experiences and hotel inclusions. Before comparing those with an independent Saona outing, identify the actual destination, provider, transport, meals and boat format in each offer. An offsite hotel activity is not automatically this LoveSaona excursion. Ask what the hotel package covers and what the separate LoveSaona quote covers, then compare complete totals instead of treating a hotel benefit as a credit against an unrelated island trip.

  • Exact resort, outing date and one lead contact
  • Adults, children's ages and any boarding needs
  • The actual itinerary and provider in each offer
  • Road transport, meals, boat format and complete total

Select a route the different ages can enjoy

Classic offers the larger shared catamaran format and a beach-focused outing. Premium uses a smaller shared speedboat group with a wider confirmed itinerary, including Mano Juan and Canto de la Playa. Discuss boarding, time aboard, shade and food needs before choosing several stops for a mixed-age group. If an exclusive vessel is important, request a private charter; neither The Reserve nor the Premium tour name reserves a boat for your own party.

Planning Saona with children Compare Classic and Premium

Give each provider the right part of the plan

Use LoveSaona's confirmed meeting and return instructions for the excursion, and ask the resort about hotel access or breakfast arrangements once that schedule is known. Keep the responsible excursion contact available throughout the day. Tell the organizer about any evening commitment while planning and leave an essential flight for another date. This guide is an independent LoveSaona resource and does not indicate a Meliá or Paradisus partnership.

Questions about this departure

Can The Reserve guests travel with children staying elsewhere at Paradisus?

Send all travelers and the actual children's ages in one request. The hotel section's age rules do not define an independent shared excursion's policy. LoveSaona must confirm a suitable boat and transport arrangement for the party.

Is a Paradisus offsite experience the LoveSaona Saona tour?

Do not assume they are the same service. Compare the named provider, island itinerary, boat, road transport and inclusions in the actual offers.

Does Premium give our Paradisus group a private boat?

No. Premium is a smaller shared speedboat tour. Ask for a separate private charter quote if the vessel should be reserved for your group.
