    This is a smallish and therefore quiet and intimate resort enjoying a GORGEOUS location overlooking the sea from all the rooms (except room 15) and featuring a family-run friendly personalized ambiance, gracious service, unfailing gourmet food in an elegant restaurant or terrace. This is not Resort Inexpensive-to-provide Expensive-to-eat fare. Excursions and very good and very reasonable Massages available. Beautiful pool and little sea beach. Lovely rooms with large sea-view balconies w/comfortable chairs. Large well equipped bathrooms. Good shower w/hot water. Clean and quiet. Walk East along the coast possible. Very safe area and adjoining small town.

    I loved it all, maybe private parking(but wasn’t missed)

    I loved the colonial style of the hotel, it definitely held up to its name.. serene feel of the property which included a pool, beach, restaurant, bar and spa right by the water. Breakfast was included and was delicious. The shower and clearly marked instructions around the room with instant coffee are and an electric kettle. Las Galeras is a small beach town

    Can’t think of anything I didn’t like. We loved our stay there and look forward to heading back.

    Not only is Villa Serena a beautiful site, but the staff takes pride in their work and in creating the best experience for guests.

    Avoid room 12. It does not have a sea view and is damp.

    Beautiful colonial style hotel by the sea with lovely pool and gardens. Large comfortable rooms and excellent service. Restaurant served quality food and service was attentive, smiling and efficient.

    The room needs updating. There are no tables or outlets next to bed. One side of the bed is against a wall, making it difficult for a person to climb in and out.

    Location. Friendly staff. View.

    The bed we had in our room is an old style mattress so when your husband moves his toe during the night, you feel it right away so it’s too easy to wake each other up. The only complaint is that, the mattress ! The restaurant on site had great food for dinner but it’s 28% tax so makes it a pricey event.

    Amazing location on the beach. Stunning building and comfortable rooms. Easy breakfast. Great staff and service. Yoga in the morning was just amazing, the classic one and with aerial silks. It’s a great place to just relax and forget about the world.

    Lunch and dinner at the hotel were only ok - not bad, but they are trying to do too offer too many things. I think they would do better with fewer options done really well rather than lots of choices done ok.

    Beautiful setting with its own small beach access to the sea. Very comfortable room with a view to the sea. A lovely property and hotel. Great breakfast. Close access to the town which had many restaurant options.

    The stand up paddle board should be fixed: without the rear fin it can be dangereous... you loose direction control and stability. To have an individual kayak would also be great. For the next time I come. Thanks!

    Amazing place with an incredible view... the different tones of the blue see, the sound of the waves, the beautiful well cared garden... good breakfast as well and nice employees... The perfect place to relax and recharge batteries.

    The food at the restaurant had mixed quality. Some dishes were really good and tasty; others are not up to the standards you would expect in this type of hotel.

    Superb location! Gorgeous views from all the property. Close to beautiful, virgin beaches. Quiet and calm atmosphere. Friendly staff. Architecture and furniture take you back in time.

    As I told staff upon checkout, I've traveled extensively and stayed in many wonderful hotels around the world, but this one is at the top of the list. It is in an unbeatably beautiful location, the facilities are charming and clean, the food is consistently wonderful, and the staff is 100 percent warm and friendly. I cannot wait for my next visit. We had torrential rains during my stay which impacted the property, but the staff dealt with it all in the most professional and easygoing nature possible.
