Description: Villa SerenaVilla Serena is a 21 room hotel, built in old Victorian Style and fully integrated into its Caribbean setting it provides hospitality, comfort and retreat to a wide range of international guests. It is located in the wide Bay of Las Galeras, where Nature has been preserved and coconut forests turn into white sandy beaches. The views from the hotel are irresistable. The swimming pool is perched on a mound in the garden between the hotel and the ocean, it is lined with natural stone.They have two acres (8000m2) of lush tropical garden with native stone walk-ways. You can stroll around and discover plants whose beauty and fragrance join with the Neptunic orchestra of the ocean waves and bird song. Lift your eyes and you will see pelicans fishing in front of you. There is excellent snorkeling right in the front yard ocean and its reefs. The hotel has a good relationship with the fishermen and they will show you humpback whales, take you diving in reefs or simply take you to other empty beaches. A few hours on their colorful boats costs around $30 (for up to four people). There are lots of wonderful beaches within walking distance from the hotel. Also a hiking party can be arranged along the coast or to the villages and highlands of the interior. You can visit the Bacardi Island (Cayo Levantado), go fishing with the locals, but most of all, this is the place where you can be totally surrounded by no telephones, no computers and no stress - just come and be. A subject that brings a warm smile to everyone is the hotel restaurant where the food is excellent. The chef is an inventor who is in constant celebration of the Caribbean spices and raw materials. Close your eyes and imagine this: shrimp in papaya sauce, lamb with honey, caramelised langostine and then chocolate with lemon grass dressing.
