Everything
I went home
Está en primera línea de playa y no hay mucha gente. Puedes disfrutar de unas vistas espectaculares en todo momento. Ambiente tranquilo y familiar en plena naturaleza.
Estábamos muy a gusto. Lo que puede molestar un poco es que no tiene mucho ambiente de noche o variedad de restaurantes. Hay o comida rápida/take away o restaurantes de lujo, nosotros no buscábamos esto.
el lugar es hermoso, tranquilo y silencioso. Perfecto para descansar! El desayuno lo sirven en el muelle que da directo al mar. Los dueños atienden increíble, realmente preocupados de todo. En la habitación dejaron un cooler, toallas de playa, máscaras de snorkling y me ofrecieron sillas y toldo para la playa. A los dos lados del hotel, están de los mejores restaurantes de Aruba: The old man and the Sea y Zeerovers. Volvería de todas maneras! Importante: tienen que arrendar auto, porque está a 20' de las playas más conocidas.
La verdad el lugar me gustó muchísimo porque estaba buscando tranquilidad.
Lugar maravilhoso, excelente para descansar, muita tranquilidade e paz. Dá pra usufruir da própria natureza estando na hospedagem, por do sol lindo tbm.
Pra quem se hospeda por vários dias o café da manhã pode ser um pouco repetitivo. E as vezes o chefe está conversando muito e esquece de cozinhar alguns pedidos.
el sitio es hermoso, muy tranquilo, los anfitriones son muy serviciales y no molestan para nada, el desayuno aunque siempre era igual estuvo muy rico, los atardeceres son mágicos es perfecto para desconectarse de todo
el alojamiento está muy lejos del centro, el transporte no es muy accesible y los traslados a cualquier parte salia costosos en taxi, es bien alejado de los paraderos del bus, es recomendable si alquilas vehículo, no había servicio de aseo a la habitación o no nos dijeron que tocaba solicitarlo, no hay comercio a su alrededor para comprar viveres tocaba caminar varias cuadras
Me gustó las instalaciones, la tranquilidad y la hospitalidad El lugar es maravilloso , todo el personal nos hizo sentir como en casa
La frecuencia de limpieza
Location is perfect and the view was awesome. Private parking was nice when it was known we were guests.
Construction was a bit noisy, but understandable. Plumbing drains smelled, possibly due to this. Shower water heater was a bit weak.
Liebes Team! Wir waren anfangs überrascht dass Savaneta doch so abgelegen liegt, es hat uns aber extrem gut gefallen! Sehr ruhiger Ort, nette Restaurants in der Umgebung. Danke an alle, die uns während unserer Krankheit unterstützt haben!!!! Das war nicht selbstverständlich aber wirklich hilfreich.
Osobiście przygotowywane przez brata właścicieli Elise. pyszny omlet i inne dodatki w zadowalającej ilości, praktycznie bez ograniczeń.
wszystko mi się podobało
Nice breakfast, good chef!
I loved the location right on the water. Also the massage service was phenomenal and I definitely recommend!
I ended up cancelling because I was unaware that the hotel was under construction and I was looking for a nice relaxing stay. However, this place has a lot of potential and is in a beautiful location.
The staff , the place , the serenity of the location
I think it's expensive for what it is , the breakfast could be better for sure
Todo es lindo, tranquilo , todo el personal unas personas maravillosas, la dueña muy amable , un lugar maravilloso
Me encantó todo
Fantastic location right on the water, friendly staff, and the kayaking and snorkeling were a great plus.
They were doing some construction to the property, which caused a lot of loud noise during the workday.
El desayuno, las excelentes vistas y el tranquilo entorno
Gostamos muito, o local é maravilhoso, o quarto é limpo, com ar condicionado e um bom chuveiro, fica de frente para o mar, que é muito limpo e calmo, ótimo para nadar, andar de caiaque ou praticar snokel, junto aos peixes e tartarugas marinhas, exatamente como nas fotos. Possui uma boa infraestrutura, com cadeiras de sol, sombras , snokel, caiaques, poltronas e sofás, ideal para passar o dia e curtir a pequena praia, que é frequentada somente pelos hospedes, além do por do Sol que é lindo. Os proprietários são muito simpáticos, atenciosos e estão sempre presentes, principalmente no café da manhã, que é preparado com dedicação e simplicidade. Fica a quinze minutos de carro do aeroporto, conta com dois restaurantes bem ao lado e andando um pouco mais é possível encontrar supermercados e outros locais para comer. Ficamos muito satisfeitos e gostariamos de ter ficado mais tempo neste local.
Gostamos de tudo, só estranhamos o quarto não ter sido limpo nenhuma vez durante nossa hospedagem.
The name says it all; the peace and tranquility you feel there are incredible. The hotel owners are incredibly kind, and the atmosphere is very family-like. Excellent breakfast... Deseere and her brother are lovely people. Waking up to that wonderful view is priceless... God bless them!
La privacidad y el paisaje
Deberían de mejorar los muebles del restaurante donde se toma desayuno
Nos encantó la vista desde la habitación, el hotel es muy bonito, está muy bien ubicado ya que aunque no está en una zona tan comercial sigue siendo bastante central y como teníamos auto todo quedaba a 20/30 minutos. La atención del personal 10/10
Todo super!!!
Todo maravilloso, el personal muy atento...
Great location, friendly stuff
N/a
Amamos a localização pé na areia. Pra quem gosta de sossego, lá é uma delícia! No quarto eles disponibilizam um cooler para levarmos para praia, achei isso muito funcional. O hotel oferece gratuitamente caiaque e equipamentos de mergulho. Fica pertinho de dois excelentes restaurantes: Zeerover e Flying Fishbone (o primeiro tem uma fila enorme e o segundo precisa de reserva).
Não é uma crítica, só uma orientação para quem estiver no hotel numa segunda-feira. Nesse dia, a maior parte dos restaurantes do lado sul fecha e o hotel não serve refeições.
Easy check-in, very peaceful and tranquil, very private place
The bed pillows could be better as well as mattress a little more softer
Location, atmosphere, and staff. This is the most accurately named sanctuary anywhere!
Leaving!
This is a family owned,small hotel in a quiet area of Aruba. The owners were so accommodating and friendly. We took an all day tour around the island to see all the sights. The breakfast chef, the owners brother, was our driver and tour guide. He was amazing and let us take as much time as we wanted at each stop. Couldn’t recommend this place more!!
No pool
La ubicación es inmejorable. El personal, excelente.
Die Lage direkt am Meer und in Ruhelage war fantastisch. Das zuvorkommende und extrem positiv-freundliche Personal.
Das Frühstück war einseitig, später Beginn wenn man gerne früh Ausflüge macht und hat lange gedauert, dafür aber direkt am Meer 💜
A pleasant place, great atmosphere, and responsive staff.
You need more portable loungers.
Estar en un lugar tan precioso!!!! El mar y las instalaciones.
Nada
The owners treat you like family! The breakfast was great - not only the taste but the location being right on the sea. Snorkeling was fabulous! Loved having snorkel gear and kayaks available. It was away from the hustle and bustle. The beach was awesome. And did I mention the owners ;)? It was exactly what my family needed!
Not many food options within walking distance.
Great boutique hotel with nice staff, a great breakfast Chef and the most amazing private beach!
It would be great if they had a restaurant at the premises.
The location could not be better… right on the water. Incredible sunsets.Super private, quiet, perfect place to relax. The owner is adorable, and her family and staff is amazing. They make you feel like family. Everything we need they provided to us. I love that they have kayaks available for the guests to use. Breakfast by the water every morning made by the Chef was the best way to start the day.I can’t wait to come back next year.
I can’t think about anything. We really love our stay.
Do sossego , do mar !
Longe do burburinho dos restaurantes, do comércio de lojas , da região turística
Krasné místo, klid, pohoda. Leguáni, ryby, krabi, želva v moři...
Excellent, very quiet relaxing and beautiful.

Excelente atención por parte de los dueños
Ubicación
Un poco más de orden
This place is heaven! We truly had a dream vacation at Serene. From having tasty breakfast with iguanas by the ocean, chatting with Elysee while making omlette to meeting amazing guests from all over the world that almost instantly became your friends. The whole family running Serene is amazing, warm and welcoming, you feel like you are not just a guest. The beach in front of hotel is beautiful, atmosphere is so chill and after visiting all the famous beaches around Aruba (and all of them are stunning), we realised that we love our Serene beach the most. Room was also very spacious, comfy and clean. Thank you for a great time and memories for lifetime! Love from Jo, Dado and Roza
All was perfect and beyond.
The location and det calmness at the hotel
Close to the Ocean. We could see crabs and fish.
NothingBeatifull
The properly truly lives up to its name. It is very clean, quiet, calm and serene.
I wish it had more sand to give it more of a beach feel.
Las habitaciones amplias y el baño y que tenga vista al mar.
El aseo por fuera de las instalaciones, debía mejorar un poco.
Close to water, lots of outdoor lounge space, great staff, away from tourist crowds
Excelente
Todo espectacular
Me gustó la tranquilidad, la libertad de poder tener espacios en común todos los que trabajan son muy amables preparan unos desayunos geniales
Nada!
Perfektní místo se šťastnými lidmi na šťastném ostrově. Pohodlný, čistý, prostorný pokoj. Výborné snídaně. Milý přátelský personál. A hlavně to prostředí! Nejlepší místo na ostrově!
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.
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!
Staff extremely friendly agreeable and helpful with anything needed
I liked everything
Reno and his family are really kind, lovely and they are always attending you like if you were part all them. They make you feel part of the family. Breakfast is delicious and the view of the restaurant is wonderful, just in front of the sea. Room is so comfortable, it has all you need to rest and sleep good. There is not doubt we are going to come back to this property.
Everything was perfect.
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.
Geweldig lekker alles was goed
Alles was goed. Fijn ontvangen. Fijne service
The gardens and the beach. The sea is right htere when you leave the room. And there is a tree growing at the edge of water perfect for watching sunrise and morning meditation
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.
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.
De ligging is geweldig!!! Het personeel supervriendelijk. Het voelde heel huiselijk aan. Het ontbijt was prima. We hebben het heerlijk gehad en komen hier zeker terug!
La vista, la ubicación y el trato del personal
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.
La vista es indudablemente uno de los puntos más fuertes del lugar, es precioso y la gente es amable, atenta y todo permite una estadía de paz y tranquilidad incomparable. ES UN LUGAR PRECIOSO!
Everything
There breakfast was simple. It was good but after 2 days i wanted something different.
Profissionais super atenciosos e educados, café da manhã muito bem servido, todos espaços bem organizados. Bônus fica pela localização (pôr do sol é coisa de cinema) e pelas atividades extras que é possível fazer sem precisar pagar adicionais, por exemplo, a pousada disponibiliza cadeiras e guarda-sol para praia, snorkel para mergulho, toalhas de banho adicionais para o mar e caiaque para remo. Estadia superou demais as expectativas. Parabéns!
A cozinha compartilhada poderia ser um pouco mais "limpa", mas isso não onera em nada o lugar.
La atención del personal
Lovely staff, spacious room, ocean access and views, daily breakfast, variety of shady spots to relax, convenient to drive to many places on the island, easy walk to several great restaurants.
Amazing location - real serene by the sea. And the family running this place will take full care of you in the most jolly Carribbean way possible. Both thumbs up!
Everything was great. Fix the kayak seats ;)
La vista del lugar es hermosa, es ideal para estar tranquilo y descansar. Un plus poder utilizar los kayak para dar una vuelta, el desayuno es muy rico y los omelette que hacen son exquisitos. El personal es muy amable.
La atención de la gente impecable! Nos dejaron quedarnos hasta las 18 del día que teníamos que salir por quedarnos nuestro vuelo salía en la noche. El placer de abrir la puerta de la habitación y tener el mar al lado es impagable. Los atardeceres desde el desayuno un lujo
Está bastante en refacción para mejorar el lugar una vez terminado va a ser más hermosa todavía
Great staff
Location was peaceful
Direct aan zee, mooi uitzicht, service gericht, vriendelijk, lekker ontbijt,snorkels, kajaks etc
de keuken was een beetje primitief maar als je vraagt wat je nodig hebt dan krijg je het.
Super Lage, schöner Strand, perfekt zum schnorcheln
Molto rilassata, semplice ma funzionale
Si potrebbe migliorare la colazione
La vista es hermosa, la atención y todo en general estuvo muy lindo y a muy buen precio. Más que hotel es tipo AirBNB entonces es importante tener en cuenta esto.
No había mucha opción de desayuno
La ubicación del hotel, junto al mar es exelente.
Nos pareció raro que no limpiarán la habitación todos los dias
excelente comofidad, linda playa personal amable volveria

Their are so many comfortable chairs around the property the property is quiet during the day most people are gone during the day if u want peace and quiet this is the place for u nothing fancy if u want thst stay in palm beach area but i will be back again
Struttura immersa nella tranquillità, con un reef davanti splendido per lo snorkeling! Tartarughe, pellicani, iguana, murene tutto a portata di occhi e maschera! La coppia che gestisce la struttura è gentilissima e accogliente oltre a essere molto disponibili. Ottimo il servizio kayak e apprezzato molto anche l'attrezzatura snorkeling gratuita. Camera vista oceano molto bella con frigo e aria condizionata.
Struttura molto isolata e con pochi locali se si è a piedi. I ristoranti attorno sono carissimi, una media di 100 dollari a testa per pranzo o cena. Unico locale vicino semplice buono ed economico è zeroover, alla mano con pesce fresco fritto! Struttura purtroppo in decadimento, non corrispondente alle foto e molto spartana da rinnovare. Peccato!!Colazione scarna e poco varia con pulizia e igiene purtroppo molto discutibili... Il titolare fa quello che può ma da solo non è facile. Abbiamo provato a prendere una semplice insalata a pranzo con succo d'arancia, in due 70 dollari... prezzo/ qualità eccessivo. Se non si hanno grandi pretese e si è spartani la struttura va benissimo. Il mare davanti merita.
Very comfortable and laid back, ample parking, great breakfast, lot of restaurant possibilities in the vicinity.
Nothing really
Amazing location, very helpful hosts, wild life at our door step. Great breakfast by the master chef. Thank you very much for everything Elisé and Desiree
