Nice and pleasant environment but I feel that managerial supervision needs to be enhanced

Spectacular views. Excellent customer service, spacious rooms, and very serene environment.

No A/C, no towels for the pool, terrible manager, nobody speak english

The hotel has the best location in Las Galeras, near to all beaches and a walk from the village. Service was excellent. Enjoyed the restaurant and local dishes, exquisitely prepared. No TV and reliable wi-fi. For a wonderful experience away from crowds and a spectacular view, I consider Villa Serena highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel, great location, will be back!

Good location, nice view, friendly staff. Some rooms needs to remodel its bathroom

Nice, quiet, boutique hotel, situated on a very nice beach.

It truly doesn't get any better than this!

Location ,Location, Location. The most beautiful spot in the island.

Holidays that are spent very well, quiet in a wonderful and beautiful place, excellent food and first class attention...

Nice and quiet Hotel . Beautiful location . Great Ocean view from our room in the second floor. Pet friendly.

Since a get there I like everything, good service and nice room but it doesn’t include food so I have to spend a lot of money on food and also pay for the they which was very expensive to not offer food.

The hotel is very quiet. Perfect to relax. The down side was charged way over the amount that hotels puts on their portal room said it was $130 ended up paying close to $200 that included the $10 they charge to use the air conditioner mind you I only stayed 1 night. The problem with the A/C didn’t really cool the room. My husband and I hardly slept. We only had breakfast. Didn’t like it only really enjoyed the coffee. I don’t think I will return.

Fabulous and friendly

My wife and I loved our time at Villa Serena. We spent 3 nights there after spending 4 nights in Las Terrenas area. From the moment we got to Villa Serena to the moment we left, we experienced a peace and serenity. Both the town of Las Galeras and the Villa Serena are like an oasis in the DR allowing you to really relax and enjoy the beauty around you. My wife said, "Villa Serena frees you to feel whatever you need to." Overall, we had an incredible time and would've loved to have spent an extra week there. Some things we loved: -The details put into the guest's experience (fresh juice on arrival, fresh flowers and unique bed setting each morning, folded toilet paper to look pretty, custom soaps and conditioner) -The views from grounds and balcony (the Mts and ocean were a great combo) -The great-tasting and fresh food at restaurant -The customer service-every staff member from hostess to maintenance made us feel very welcomed -Snorkel gear, kayaks, bikes, etc being available for usage for free -Room- our room was large, balconies were awesome with ocean views, and AC worked great -Javo beach (short walk) was an awesome place to hang out for the day Things we didn't love that could be improved: -Hot water didn't work for more than 2 mins even after following hot water system steps (probably needs an upgraded system) -Fridge was very small and didn't get cold for first two days even on max setting

Location is stunning with a view of a small beach and island. The hotel offers a number of great facilities, such as free yoga and kayaks, and the staff are all very friendly and helpful. The hotel and the room we stayed in are beautiful and peaceful at night, but are in need of some modernising in places. There is a wide range of options for breakfast. The small town centre and a number of beaches are within short walking distance.

The view is spectacular, if your looking a place to rest this a excellent option.

Very quite and relaxing colonial-style hotel

Had a really nice peaceful relax at Villa Serena. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Food was great.

I really enjoyed my stay here, it was so quiet and relaxing. I would definitely go back again. Great service and very friendly staff.

Hotel Serena is a lovely hotel looking out on the sea. really nice staff who arranged our bus when leaving. the pool area is lovely and balcony in the room looking out on the sea.

The room is very clean and comfortable and it has a great view. Air conditioner and hot water. Good wifi but no tv.

The staff is very helpful and responsive. The breakfast is a well-executed start to the day. The pool and grounds are well maintained and relaxing. The location is an easy walk away from the Main Street, yet safe and quiet.

As you walk up the entrance path, you look straight through the open front doors to the Caribbean Sea - it's just magical! We had our two married children and grand child with us so had three rooms. Each room was a different size. Room #3, on the main floor, was very large and had an equally large balcony - ideal for pre-dinner drinks. Room #6, on the second floor, was bright and airy and had two queen beds. Room #7 (second floor) had one queen bed and was a bit small. The view from the second floor rooms was magnificent. This is a very tranquil place - a world away from the large, all inclusive hotels that abound in the D.R. A great place to spend a holiday with your kids. The staff are friendly and the service in the dining room is good. The pool and gardens are well maintained and the sea bottom consists of smooth, firm, white sand.

Very clean place, Wonderful atmosphere, authentic experience, great location, an absolute must! This place was the highlight of all my Caribbean vacations. Such a great little hidden away spot. Real Dominican Republic experience, not the mega resort in some gulf club. I wish we'd spent our entire time with these wonderful people. If your going to the Dominican this is your spot for the real Dominican experience. We did a big road trip around the country and seriously loved this place, amazing! I can't say enough good about this place. We left a few days ago for Bayahibe, I wish we hadn't. Love Samana peninsula so much!
