"this villa is the unquestionable winner for style and substance"
"There are a dozen of deserted beaches off Las Galeras's trails"
From the Word of Mouth section: "world class snorkling"
"the only crowds are found at sea...thousands of humpback whales"

"The secret Island ... so where are all those idyllic beaches?
Head for the Samana Peninsula, a northern coast of powdery sand, transparent turquise waters and coral reefs. Villa Serena with eleven individually decorated rooms, each with balcony and ocean view."

Villa Serena is a 21 room hotel, built in old Victorian Style and fully integrated into its Caribbean setting. It has been in operation since 1993 and it has provided hospitality, comfort and retreat to a wide range of international guests. It is located in a wide Bay of Las Galeras , where Nature has been preserved and coconut forests turn into white sandy beaches.

21 elegant, spacious and comfortable rooms: nine on the ground floor and twelve rooms higher up in the cooling sea breeze. Some are equipped with air-conditioning and others are with ceiling fans. Some rooms have a king size bed and others have two queen size beds. All the rooms are tastefully decorated with meticulous attention to detail. Every room face the ocean and has a private terrace with rocking chairs or a chaise longue.

Very spacious with quiet game tables, sitting nooks and rocking chairs lulling you to sleep in the breeze and shade. The view is irresistable for the spawning poetic thoughts.
