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.

Our 2nd visit was even better! The tranquility of the beautiful hotel and grounds is breathtaking. My sister was visiting from the states and was blown away!!!!!!The breakfast which is included was very good. The waitresses were very friendly and efficient.

When we first arrived most of the people staying didn't have kids and I was worried about interrupting their beautiful vacation. But,... More

Arriving to Las Galleras, i thought that i am going to be bored to death, but this fantastic hotel, great stuff, wonderful cocktails, relaxing pool and the laid back village bring you into a very relax mood. 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
