My wife and I were at Villa Serena for three nights. Views to the sea and the gardens are really wonderful as pictures show in Trip Advisor, it really looks like honeymoon type of hotel. Staff is very nice. We were quite unlucky in our first night, since we stayed in a room not in the main building. The room... More

Absolutely superb! It's been 9 months since we got back and the taste of Villa Serena still lingers. The most beautiful setting we'd been to in the two weeks we spent in the DR. We had such an amazing time that we decided to cancel another booking and return for another night in Villa Serena before returning home. The rooms... More

Goodness how I wanted to love this hotel..but I just couldn't find a way to fall in love! Ever had a relationship where you have such high expectations and all the little things just add up to being to much so it's not going to work and you just have to move on...that's Villa Serena. The little things: Leading up... More

You can sit on your balcony or the veranda and gaze at the gorgeous ocean with surrounding reefs, overlooking the well-tended gardens. The only sounds are the breaking waves, the wind rustling in the palms and the doves coming to roost. Take a dip in the sea right out front or walk to one of the nearby beaches. The small... More

At first my husband and I were nervous about staying here. It was more than we normally spend when traveling, plus we were traveling with two little kids and the place was SOOO quite. (Ages 2 and 4.) When we first arrived most of the people staying didn't have kids and I was worried about interrupting their beautiful vacation. But,... More

The gardens were great, the guests were nice and relax and the beaches all around are among the best we saw. It is... More

Absolutely the most stunning hotel I have ever stayed in: the endless ocean view, the generous and thoughtfully decorated rooms, the expansive private decks with hammocks or loungers, the beautifully cultivated garden, the vaulted European architecture of the main "lobby" spilling out onto the terra cotta patio. Every artistic, refined detail of VS is a testament to the care taken... More

Villas Serena has wonderful architecture and landscape gardening. The whole setting is so nice sometimes you would want to stay and relax, looking at the sea and the hummingbirds flying around the flowers there, and not bother go to all the wonderful beaches around. Of course you should because there are many really exceptional to which you can go usually... More
