Serene by the Sea

Loved my stay!

Aaaaaah Serene by the Sea. What a perfect name. I booked my flight and stay on a Monday and landed in Aruba that following Friday. Being an entrepreneur + lawyer + living in New York City = as you can imagine, I was in desperate need of some serious R&R. Serene by the Sea was everything I needed for my solo trip and more! When I arrived, I was greeted by the owner and her son (I believe) who were happy to welcome me and take me to my room. I dropped by bags off and could not get my bathing suit on fast enough to get out and enjoy the sun, the sea, and the beautiful scenery. I woke every morning to grab some sun and the delicious breakfast made by the house chef (who is the owner's brother and also doubles as a driver and tour guide if you need one). I took daily naps in a hammock while listening to crashing waves. I sat out on the beach chairs journaling, listening to relaxing music on my little speaker, and just having some good 'ol quality time with God. Before I headed out, I had a lovely massage on the Serene Floating Massage deck. What a lovely, relaxing experience! There is a sign that says "come as guests and leave as friends" and this is so true! If you're in need of some quiet time and relaxation away from the noise of everyday life, I highly recommend you consider Serene by the Sea. You won't regret it!

Chef Elise was awesome! I loved hearing his travel stories and looking thru all his photos. He feeds the iguanas, fish and crabs too! Breakfast consists of eggs, omelet, whatever ingredients you like, toast, fruits, pastries & coffee. Great way to start the day.

Beautiful place to stay. We were lucky enough to have a room upgrade overlooking the sea. Amazingly kind and generously helpful owners who went above and beyond in helping us out when our car hire company let us down. Totally unforgettable experience - just wish we got to stay longer,….
