The hotel is lovely. Our room was large and pretty with a great porch with a view of the beautiful grounds and the sea. the staff was friendly and very kind and helpful. The town is very quiet and laid back and the beaches are splendid. It takes a long time to get there but it is worth it. We... more

My wife has been going to Villa Serena for several years and has always loved it. This year I went with her, but we both left unimpressed. The staff seemed mainly college students on break, getting their training for the upcoming season. Lost the reservation, mispriced trips, etc. Everyone tried to to be helpful, but for an "upscale" resort with... more

My wife and I were enchanted by the beautiful web-site. Unfortunately, the hotel did not live up to its advertising. The biggest disappointment was the fact that there is really no beach. What is there is very rocky and unappealing. We did go to Playa Rincon which was fantastic but we were expecting to be able to swim on premise... more

First, we stayed in this hotel based on some obviously fake reviews here in trip advisor. In our case, the experience is real: three young students trying to find a relaxing vacation in beautiful surroundings.

My Wife and I just got back from a honeymoon in Galeras we stayed at Villa Serena. We both agreed it was the best vacation we ever had. If you like to sit back and enjoy life on a slow pace with no noise this is the place for you. if you like to sleep to wave crashing on a... more

We had a great stay in March 2005. Our room was clean and bright with a balcony (like all rooms) that overlooked the grounds and the ocean. The grounds have a variety of flowing plants and palm trees that cast shade over the chaise lounges provided for sunbathing and relaxing. The medium sized pool provides a great view out to... more

We visited Villa Serena in January 2004: it is a dream! A very peaceful, quit and most beautiful small hotel at "the end of the world" [not even a bank!], with palm-trees and gras(!) close to the ocean; with big rooms all facing the ocean; with a big beautiful garden around a small pool. The rooms are very clean, all... more

After extensive research on the Net, we recently spent 2-l/2 days at the Villa Serena resort on the Samana Peninsula in the NE Dominican Republic. On the upside, the area scenery is truly lovely and the locals who served us in various capacities were most gracious. The inn is restfully quiet & visually quite appealing from first glance, and the... more
