Guest Reviews

• VALERIO (9/5): - La vista mare straordinaria dalla terrazza privata della stanza La dimensione della stanza, l'architettura dell'albergo e la bellezza dei giardini e delle piante La tettoia dove fare yoga di fronte al mare La posizione del ristorante con vista mare
• Clément (10/5): -
• Martina (7/5): -
• CLAUDIA (10/5): -
• Alessandro (9/5): -
• Michelle Keller (9/5): Stunning! - Absolutely stunning. Amazing architecture, views, facilities and activities (loved the free yoga). The staff is very sweet! The restaurant has plenty of options but the food does not meet the price tag. AC was very loud and bathroom shower was leaking.
• Daniela (10/5): One of my favourite vacation spots . So looking forward to return . People of Samana are so nice and it’s surely a safe - I loved the property . The minute you walked onto the lobby the view of the waterfront it’s breathtaking. Front desk Carolina was so nice and make sure we were happy with our accommodations. The staff is kind , attentive and genuine . Breakfast was fantastic, meals were nourishing and healthy , we had fresh juices every morning . Then for me , having daily morning yoga sessions with Angelina followed by a meditation session was a huge boost to the way my days were unfolding . There’s just so many positive things I could say about this location that i don’t know where to start and finish . Overall experience was amazing !
• Élodie (10/5): -
• medea (10/5): Zum weiterempfehlen! - Alles hat uns gefallen Wir haben zum Frühstück 2 Cappuccinos und die wurden uns separat mit 10 US Dollar belastet. Finde ich sehr schade, dass sich ein so gutes Haus in etwas Milchschaum verlieht!!!
• Shelita (8/5): A piece of heaven... -
• Matthea (9/5): Hele relaxe sfeer in bijzonder hotel met veel aandacht voor de gasten - De aandacht aan de gasten, de kamers en het eten. Drankjes zwembadbar waren duur
• Cristina (9/5): You pay for the view and the food - I think this hotel has the best view in Las Galeras. I was impressed how well maintained was the garden, the breakfast was very delicious, with a lot of options. The yoga class is a plus but it would be great if the hotel had a gym as well. The room and the common areas were very clean. Restaurant and cleaning staff very helpful and polite I did not like that they did not charge the price from my credit card as it was said. We arrived there and they gave me a bill in DOP -peso dominicano (even though in all other hotels/hostels/private homes we could pay directly in USD). It would not have been a problem but when they transformed the price in USD into national currency they used an exchange rate much bigger than the official one. We ended up paying 20 USD more than it was said in my booking. Though the difference is not big what bothered me the most was that they did not informed us about the exchange rate. When I finally saw my account statement and I asked the front office employee (the yoga teacher) she was very unhelpful. She told me that was the politics of the hotel. For four stars hotel this is unacceptable.
• Julius (9/5): -
• Stephanie (10/5): - Einfach Traumhaft
• John Louis (9/5): -
• Lisa (10/5): - Beautiful property, kayaks included, great value
• Clara (8/5): No todo lo que dice booking es verdadero - La belleza del hotel y de su entorno. La atención del personal del restoran El acceso al 2o piso es sólo por escala y subir y bajar maletas es complicado para tercera edad. Las piezas no tienen TV No tiene playa como se promociona en booking, sólo acceso directo al agua del mar. Hay servicios de restoración que promocionan en booking y no son verdaderos
• katrine (9/5): - Beautiful setting in an relaxing atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff.
• Pascal (10/5): Wunderschöne Anlage mit sehr gutem Service. - Lage und Anlage, Personal und Service.
• Nathaly (10/5): Una vista muy hermosa - Cuenta con su propia playa privada, la vista espectacular al igual que la parte del exterior. Mido 1.85 y me contó dormir bien en las camas
• yael (9/5): Amazing experience - Pool area, private beach access and free Kayak and yoga. Good Shower. Great Breakfast. Expensive, were not flexible to date changes
• Hayat (8/5): - C'est un endroit paradisiaque, on ne se lasse pas de la vue et le personnel est au petit soin, il y'a une plage magnifique "la playita" a 7min a pieds. L'endroit est exactement comme sur les photos! Les lits dans la chambre qu'on a eu sont très inconfortable. Petit déjeuner limité et répétitif
• Soeren (10/5): Would return - Wonderful seafront location, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, daily 8am yoga sessions (no extra cost), great breakfast All was good, but driving to Las Galeras might be challenging for some with major potholes and lots of people and dogs on the road.
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Hermann (10/5): Wow, ein Highlight unseres Urlaubs - Lage, sehr freundliches Personal, sehr geschmackvoll ausgestattet -
• Nicole (8/5): -
• eespildora (9/5): -
• Jose Hamilton (10/5): -
• Jürgen (9/5): -
• Hugo (10/5): Fantastic hotel, highly recommended. - We loved the location and the beach in front of the hotel, the water is so clear and the color is just unbelievable, so beautiful. You can book tours at the hotel and they pick you up right at the beach in front of the hotel. The breakfast menu was somewhat limited for us as we were staying for a full week, so we had to repeat the same dishes a couple of times. But all in all, it was good.
• Frédéric (8/5): Hôtel qui pourrait être incroyable si les investissements indispensables surtout pour la literie étaient fait. - Emplacement, vue exceptionnelle, calme, architecture de l’hôtel, jardin magnifique, petite structure, restauration, prêt de matériel ( kayak, snorkeling), yoga gratuit, massage dans le jardin Peu de personnel souriant, facturation de l’eau filtrée servi au restaurant pourtant gratuite dans la chambre, aucun équipement dans la chambre ( pas de téléphone pour la réception, café soluble, peu de choix de thé ou tisane), literie horrible, lit très étroit, vétusté globale (meubles et équipements), nombreuses erreurs au niveau de la facturation de la restauration, yoga pouvant être annulé le jour même par l’hôtel.
• Thomas (10/5): Je ne peux que recommander cet hôtel magnifique ! - Je ne peux que recommander cet hôtel magnifique ! Intimiste et paisible, si vous chercher le repos et les bons moments ,c'est ici ! L'établissement est très bien tenu , et tout est accessible à pied (le centre-ville, les restaurants ou les plages) Merci à toute l’équipe pour votre accueil, votre professionnalisme et votre gentillesse. Chaque jour, un mot aimable, un sourire sincère, une attention délicate… Nous nous sommes réellement sentis les bienvenus, comme à la maison, mais avec un service d’une grande qualité. Un grand bravo également à la cuisine, qui a largement contribué à la magie du séjour : des petits-déjeuners fabuleux, généreux et délicieux, jusqu’aux dîners raffinés, savoureux et toujours impeccablement présentés. Un vrai plaisir pour les papilles ! Encore merci à toute l’équipe pour ce moment hors du temps. Très cordialement, Thomas Alcaraz & Mallaury Cailac
• Laureen (8/5): - Emplacement avec une vue exceptionnelle sur le front de mer, chambre spacieuse et confortable. Petit-déjeuner très bon et varié L'hôtel mériterait un petit coup de jeune (peintures, mobilier...)
• Jiliane (10/5): - 100% recommandé. Nous avons surtout apprécié les cours de yoga, les kayaks, le petit déjeuner très copieux, et le personnel très accueillant!
• MARTA (9/5): - Nos ha encantado este hotel, habitacion muy amplia, limpieza exquisita, servicios increibles, gran amabilidad en recepcion, hacen todo para satisfacer al cliente Yoga por las mananas con un decorado de ensueno! Desayuno muy variado! Lo recomiendo al 200% Los precios indicados en la carta del restaurante no son los finales, hay que anadir 20% de tasas y 10% de propinas! Es decir, hay que sumar un 30%, a tener en cuenta! lo que hace que el precio final sea un poco elevado.
• Brigitte (9/5): - il ristorante non per la collazione (buona) ma per la cena dove la qualità era media e i prezzi alti
• William (10/5): - Absolut tolle Lage direkt am Meer mit stilvoller, grosser Gartenanlage und wunderbarer Aussicht vom Balkon mit Hängematte. Reichhaltiges, sehr leckeres Frühstück. Gediegene Atmosphäre. Grosszügiges Inklusivangebot wie Yoga, Fahrräder, Kayaks. Die Zimmereinteilung und -Ausstattung war nicht sehr funktional (keine Nachttischlampen, Betteinstieg nur von einer Seite), wenig Ablageflächen.
• EDGAR ADAN (10/5): - todo
• Giovanni (9/5): -
• Alban (8/5): -
• Claudia (8/5): -
• Victor Freire 83 (10/5): Une petite pépite à las galeras - Absolument tout. De l'accueil, au petit dej copieux, la piscine et la plage au top. Un environnement des plus apaisant et une chambre avec vue mer au top. Merci Ras
• aliguy (10/5): Magique - L´emplacement est fabuleux au calme au bord de l´océan avec un jardin luxuriant, à 10 min de la rue centrale de Las Galeras. Le personnel est extrêmement gentil et serviable. Le petit déjeuner est bien, attention certaines boissons sont en supplément. Les cours de yoga sont très agréables. Les chambres sont spacieuses avec une belle terrasse. A savoir, il y a des escaliers pour accéder aux chambres, petit déjeuner, etc...
• Sophie (10/5): - Tout était merveilleux ! Le cadre, l'ambiance, la chambre emplacement et vue parfaite ! La propreté, le service au top, et l'accueil extrêmement chaleureux. La magnifique vue de toute part L'accessibilité plage et belle piscine. Le restaurant l'accueil et la nourriture Le manque de jus de de fruit proposé au petit déjeuner
• Cindy (6/5): - Es un lugar exageradamente tranquilo No justifica lo que cuesta
• Nehuen (10/5): Excelente - 10 puntos todo. Salida a la playa. Estacionamiento. Vistas de ensueño. Mucha paz y un jardín hermoso. Recomiendo 100% Lo único malo era la ducha no salía con mucha presión pero salvo eso nada para criticar
• Jaime (10/5): -
• Ana (10/5): - las vustas y la atención del personal -
• Peter (9/5): Boutique style hotel, great staff - The Hotel is located on a beautiful spot, the views are gorgeous! There is no beach directly in front of the hotel but they are in easy walking distance. Loved the kayak and the yoga on the big platform by the water. Though the building is dated, it has character and all the little extras like yoga, the hammocks on all the balconies or the wonderful a la carte breakfast made it a great place to stay. The internet stopped working altogether for one afternoon and evening, though when it was working it was quite fast.
• Bernard (10/5): Coup de coeur - Nous aimerions trouver plus souvent des établissements aussi séduisants, l'architecture de l'hôtel, la piscine dans un écrin de verdure, la vue, un accès mer sans danger, le top :-)) rien
• Andra (9/5): Great couple escape, very comfortable and idyllic. - The bed, especially the topper, the beach, the massages, the attention to detail. Breakfast could be bigger, and it would be nice to get more drinkable water per day.
• Jette Bygum (9/5): -
• Barbara (10/5): Un sogno che si è trasformato in una splendida realtà - A dream that finally came true. - Struttura meravigliosa, ben oltre le aspettative. Posizione eccezionale, hotel splendido e curato con grande attenzione in ogni dettaglio. Il personale è estremamente gentile e professionale, contribuendo a creare un’atmosfera rilassante e ricca di charme. Colazione eccellente, varia e di altissima qualità. Un luogo che consiglio senza esitazione e dove spero davvero di tornare. Un vero sogno! - A wonderful property, far beyond expectations. An exceptional location, a stunning hotel beautifully maintained down to the smallest detail. The staff is incredibly kind and professional, creating a relaxed and charming atmosphere. The breakfast is excellent, rich, and of outstanding quality. A place I would highly recommend and hope to return to. A true dream!
• Nicole (9/5): -
• André (7/5): Für zwei Nächte in Ordnung - Die Lage und der kolonniale Baustil Preis-Leistung fragwürdig
• Marcel VO (10/5): A fabulous stay in a fabulous place and environment. - The view to the sea is absolutely fantastic. Everything fine
• Danae (10/5): Great experience overall we loved it - Wonderful place rooms were super comfortable and spacious yoga with Angelica superb and staff was helpful and nice The breakfast can use a bit of love - the choices are great but the cooking of the omelettes and general food could have a slight upgrade in taste.
• Jessica (10/5): - El trato y atención del personal Tuvimos un problema con el control de un clima que no estaba en el cuarto pero lo pudieron arreglar solo que se tardaron
• Georg (10/5): - Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier richtig. Beeindruckender Ausblick! Entspannte Atmosphäre und freundliches Personal.
• Luciano (10/5): Muy bien! - Excelente ubicación Hermosas vistas Super Limpio Buen wifi Super tranquilo
• M (10/5): - Ontzettend vriendelijk en attent personeel. De massage was heerlijk (absolute aanrader) en daarna is het perfect ontspannen met een exotische cocktail aan de buitenbar. Het privéstrandje met zacht golvend helder water is heerlijk. Het uitzicht op een privé-eilandje maakt de setting idyllisch en het vakantiegevoel compleet. Wij hebben echt intens genoten! Niets
• Juan Alessandro (8/5): -
• Katarzyna (9/5): - Niesamowity klimat. Profesjonalna obsługa. Nieprzewidywalna kuchnia.
• Monia_12345 (10/5): - La struttura molto.curata nei dettagli Il clima, troppo ventoso
• Paulo Roberto (9/5): Excelente. - Hotel limpo, localização muito boa e a estrutura incrível! Excelente hospedagem.
• Trinidad (9/5): excelente muy tranquilo - todo me gustó La decoración de la habitación, el enredon , almohada, cojines y demás hecho de una tela muy rara
• Nicolas (7/5): -
• Franz (10/5): Hotel in Kolonialstil - Der harmonische englischer Kolonial Stil ist durchgängig. Die Bauweise, strahlt Ruhe und Entspannung aus. Ideal um herunterzufahren. Schöne Strände und "Dorf" mit Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten sind zu Fuss in 10 Minuten erreichbar. Nettes und hilfsbereites Personal beim Frühstück. Sprachkenntnisse in Englisch teils bescheiden oder gar nicht.. Hinweise zu möglichen Aktivitäten innerhalb und außerhalb des Hotels.
• Jazmín (9/5): Un lugar mágico! Volvería 🩷✨ - Una vista invaluable!!! Las camas están un poco duras.
• Paloma (9/5): - Las vistas desde la habitación son increíbles. Desde el jardín se puede bajar al mar a bañarse a una zona tranquila privada. El desayuno muy agradable, el personal del restaurante muy bien Las habitaciones están algo anticuadas, pero aún así muy bien cuidadas
• Angelika (8/5): - Der Charme den das Hotel ausstrahlt, die Ausstattung, es hat alles was man braucht. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Der Pool wunderschön und der Meerzugang perfekt, das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und herzlich. Jeden Tag gab es frische Badetücher und das Zimmer wurde immer mit sehr viel Liebe gereinigt und bereitet. Die Anlage war wirklich sehr ruhig und perfekt für die Erholung. Die Lage und generell die Umgebung sind wirklich wunderschön! Wir möchten gerne wieder kommen ☺️ Wir waren 10 Tage dort, leider war an 4 Tagen ein Yoga Retreat mit lauten „whoo girls“, was die Ruhe störte. Die Gruppe war sehr laut und auffällig (am Fotos machen und posieren, der Yoga Shala wurde länger blockiert und es haben keine Yoga classes für Gäste stattgefunden) das fanden wir sehr schade ..
• Caroline (10/5): Ein Ort der Ruhe und Entspannung. - Es ist bereits mein zweiter Aufenthalt in der Villa Serena. Das Hotel ist wirklich ein Traum! Vor allem habe ich die Ruhe der Anlage genossen. Der gepflegte Garten lädt zu Spaziergängen ein, das Frühstück genießt man bei offenem Fenster mit Blick auf die Palmen und das Meer. Einfach paradiesisch! Das Personal ist wahnsinnig herzlich und freundlich. Ich freue mich schon, wenn ich bald wieder an diesen wundervollen Ort zurückkehren kann.
• sanchez catano (10/5): Maravillosa - Me gustó todo!! Ubicación, todo el hotel una vista impresionante, un lugar mágico en su totalidad No poder quedarme más tiempo
• Robinson (4/5): me quedé en el hotel por no poder anularlo - Es un hotel tranquilo para los amantes de la relajacion. Me cobraron el aire acondiciondo. Según el precio publicado en booking.com solo cobraban las tasas, pero lo realidad es que no podía anular la reserva y tuve que pagar exactamente el doble del precio publicado. Después de cobrar el aire estuvimos mas de 3 horas sin aire porque se estropeó
• Jaime (9/5): -
• Clément (10/5): Repos dans un décor paradisiaque - La vue incroyable sur la mer et le personnel très accueillant et disponible. L’hôtel dispose d’un jardin luxuriant dans lequel on peut profiter de la vue sur des chaises longues. La literie était très confortable, et le petit déjeuner était exceptionnel ! Rien à signaler
• Lourdes (8/5): -
• Ana (10/5): Parenthèse magique à l’hôtel Serena - Nous avons tout aimé l’emplacement juste magnifique la propreté, la gentillesse du personnel, le petit déjeuner exceptionnel et les cours de yoga le matin dans un cadre magique Rien

• Vrooom (10/5): Exceptional - 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.
• Francis (10/5): A beautiful serene stay in a small beach town in Las Galeras - 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 I loved it all, maybe private parking(but wasn’t missed)
• Vrooom (10/5): Fantastic Choice - Gorgeous Seaside location Large modern fully equipped comfortable rooms with sea views Fantastic gourmet food in comfortable affordable elegant restaurant with lovely staff and service Helpful staff Nice activities Great Massages Lovely pool Coastal walks Village nearby English spoken Small and friendly, not big resort Great shower, hot water Good internet Nice lobby/public area with view for hanging out No mosquito or noise problems Transport available Nothing
• Katia (10/5): A hidden treasure ! - This hotel is a well kept treasure ! The location and view are stunning. The staff is super friendly. Free yoga classes included to start your day. Beautiful beaches nearby to visit. I have been here a few times and will be back ! It would be nice to have some high quality coffee available for nice espressos and cappuccinos.
• Maikel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Perla (10/5): Rest and rejuvenation in paradise! - Not only is Villa Serena a beautiful site, but the staff takes pride in their work and in creating the best experience for guests. Can’t think of anything I didn’t like. We loved our stay there and look forward to heading back.
• Carlos (10/5): Perfect stay - Location- staff - perfect stay for a couple or family Beach on side great soaking pool Breakfast exceptional Nice oceanfront view N/a
• Philippa (10/5): Outstanding, once room change had been effected - 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. Avoid room 12. It does not have a sea view and is damp.
• Julien (10/5): Incredible experience - Amazing place Nothing to say
• Rudolph (10/5): Exceptional - Everything! The property is great and the staff is better. Nothing
• Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - It is an amazing hotel, staff is very friendly, the yoga class in the morning is excellent, the massage also, the bar at the pool is also super, the garden and the location is very good. Breakfast is outstanding. Nothing to share here
• Kathy (8/5): Very good - Location. Friendly staff. View. 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.
• Kate (10/5): Fantastic location and very very enjoyable stay. We are coming back for sure ! - 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. 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.
