Hotel Villa Serena

The service was amazing, special thank you to the bartender that was so sweet and made us try the best drinks! The beds are super comfortable. Dreamy location. The hotel would maybe need a little refresh. Nice menu with a lot of vegan options!

I stayed for 4 nights and had a great time. The room is spacious and had two large beds, the bathroom was beautiful with large mirror and a bathtub. The balcony had ocean view and a hammock. There is a restaurant inside the property, a pool and a yoga barn. And a small private beach with turquoise water :) La Playita beach is near by ( walkable distance) and it’s sooo pretty! You can watch the sunset there as well. I had a great time at Villa Serena and next time I go to Dominican Republic, I’ll definitely stay there again.

This place is located in one of the most beautiful spots in DR. If you are looking for a very relaxing vacation, this is a perfect place. The satff is very friendly and helpfull. From the hotel you can book a boat to go to many beaches nearby that only can be reached by bota such as Fronton, Playa Colorada and end your journey at Playa Rincon where you can eat and spend the day in this white sand beach.

Lovely location right on the water, with a great beach (la Playita) a short 10 minute walk away. Complementary yoga in the morning was a highlight. Town unfortunately has way too much noisy and polluting traffic as is the case throughout Samana peninsula, but the hotel is super nice.

Once again a truly beautiful time at Villa Serena. I would go for the ocean views and breeze alone, but once you add on the amazing masseuse Maria, the trip becomes perfect! Warm and friendly staff, and yoga in the morning.

After walking past Villa Serena on a previous visit we vowed we would be back to stay! It’s been amazing. From initial reservation through to our arrival and stay. The staff are amazing. Yoga every morning with Angelina has been fabulous…. The right way to start the day. A short walk to our favorite beach La Playita….lazing around the swimming pool and enjoying a great array of cocktails from the Tiki Bar. The massages are to die for! The food has been delicious. Great selection at breakfast with fresh fruits, numerous cooked options and some very special veggie juices. Dinners too have not disappointed. Most of all the staff have been so friendly and professional. New Year’s Eve tonight at Villa Serena will be memorable!

It has a great view of the ocean which creates a relaxing environment. Staff is very friendly and cordial. The room has a relaxing decoration as well great view of fhe ocean and the small cayo which is right in front of fhe property. If anyone is looking for quiet/tranquil plave in Las Galeras this is the right place.

Villa Serena is a charming and wonderful hotel. The view of the beach and the sea from the room is excellent. The rooms have a balcony with rocking chairs and a hammock. The bed is comfortable. The restaurant has a very varied menu and the food is good. The wifi works very well. The water in the shower is hot though the water pressure is weak. The staff is friendly. I hope to return in the future.

What a wonderful place to wake up in, pull aside ceiling high drapes and luxuriate in the breathtaking view over a lush garden, and beyond to the rippling ocean with waves breaking over a distant reef. We spent a week in this paradise. The staff were kind wonderful people. Some spoke English, and we wished we could do a better job with Spanish. The hotel was apparently completed 30 years ago, but spoke of another era of Serenity that stretches further into the past. So aptly named! TripAdvisor encourages sharing not just the good, which is not so easy. Ok. Next time we visit we will bring a bottle of cheap vinegar to dissolve accretions inside the shower head which seriously limited its spray quality…..
