Serene by the Sea was the perfect place to stay during our trip to Aruba
Pros:

This was a gem, run by an amazing family. We had the pleasure of meeting many of the family members, since they were staying there for the holidays. They have a saying painted on the wall that says Come as guests, leave as family and that is exactly how we felt!

Pros:

This is family owned property. Desiree and her family went out of their way to help us on our first trip to Aruba. We traveled all over the island to many different beaches but my favorite was the small beach behind the property with its own "Tree of Life" full of birds and surrounded by crabs, iguanas and lizards. Many beautiful fish to see when snorkeling. Kayaking to the Sea Glass Island was also very fun. Beautiful scenery, fabulous sunsets, great breakfast, clean room with great view. Kayaks and snorkels provided. We will definitely return.

Una Joya en Aruba
Pros:

Serene By The Sea fue una experiencia única, increíble y realmente especial. Desde Argentina, incluso antes de llegar, ya estaban súper disponibles para responder todas nuestras consultas y nos hicieron sentir bienvenidos desde el primer momento.

Fuimos en nuestra luna de miel y nos recibieron con una carta y una botella para brindar, un detalle hermoso que marcó el inicio de una estadía inolvidable. El lugar está atendido por una familia histórica de la isla y, desde que llegamos, nos sentimos como en casa.

Viajamos durante Navidad y Año Nuevo, y en Nochebuena nos invitaron a compartir la celebración con ellos. Prepararon un banquete espectacular con comidas típicas de Holanda y Aruba, fue una noche hermosa donde pudimos conocer sus historias y aprender más sobre la isla. Para ese momento, Serene ya era nuestro hogar en Aruba.

El lugar es espectacular: playa y bajada privada, desayunos increíbles preparados por el chef, y mientras comés podés ver peces, tortugas, cangrejos e iguanas. Hay kayaks, equipo de snorkel y dan ganas de quedarse todo el día ahí de lo lindo y entretenido que es.

Todo estaba impecable: limpieza excelente, aire acondicionado funcionando perfecto y muy buena ubicación, con dos restaurantes increíbles cerca para ir caminando. Si tenés auto, en pocos minutos estás en Oranjestad, Palm Beach o cualquier playa de la isla.

Siempre vamos a recordar nuestra estadía en Serene By The Sea. Gracias a toda la familia por convertir este lugar en un verdadero paraíso y hogar.

Decepcionante, e parecia que estava incomodando.
Pros:

A vista da pousada é linda, da pra ver um por-do-sol sensacional, e fica ao lado de dois restaurantes chave da região de Savaneta (o Flying Fish e um outro ao lado) que possuem mesas na água.
Tem caiaque para ir até a Seaglass Island, que é um passeio legal, e snorkel para ver os inúmeros peixes que ficam ali no pier da pousada, redes para descansar, tudo é muito tranquilo e silencioso durante o dia e a noite.
tem um bom frigobar no quarto, televisão e uma cama grande.
A varanda é bem gostosa de ficar vendo o mar e relaxando.

Cons:

Nos decepcionamos com o Hotel/Pousada... Não era nada do que estava nas fotos.
Parecia que já tinha sido, mas foi deixando de ter manutenção, e o que se manteve foi apenas a vista, que graças a Deus não muda.
Chegamos e não encontramos ninguém para nos receber, recepção fechada, uma senhora que estava trabalhando na casa dos donos (pelo que entendi) nos recebeu meio incomodada.
O quarto estava limpo, mas com um cheiro forte de desinfetante, que não saiu até a hora que fomos embora. a decoração da pousada, assim como os cuidados com paredes, canos, etc., estavam bem corroídos e largados.
Eles haviam dito que iam fazer uma surpresa pois estávamos em lua de mel, chegamos la e nada...
A ducha do banheiro estava caindo, molhava tudo, e o controle do ar condicionado, não funcionava direito.
Por fim, ninguém nos avisou que não tem equipe disponível na pousada, e o jantar tivemos que correr atrás de algo, pois não tem na pousada, e quase todos os restaurante fecham cedo (ficam mais para quem quer ver o pôr-do-sol e jantar cedo).
o Café da manhã foi ok, mas sentimos que parecia que estávamos incomodando quando quisemos repetir o omelete, fora que as frutas não era bem frescas e pareciam ter sido tiradas da geladeira de uma casa vizinha.
Tanto que no fim, decidimos mudar de hotel e região, e não utilizamos a última diária, saímos e deixamos a chave na porta, só repararam no dia seguinte.

Muy recomendable
Pros:

Es un hotel familiar, de hecho la familia tiene su casa a un costado. El desayuno es muy bueno, tiene lo necesario y si algo no habia, uno lo pedia y ellos se encargaban de conseguirlo, siempre muy atentos a complacernos en todo. Una noche Eliseo cocino para nosotros, nos preparo una cena romantica y estuvo exquisita. La ubicacion sobre el mar es hermosa. Las puestas de sol inolvidables. Dada la ubicacion se debe tener auto para poder recorrer la isla.
