"I had my concerns prior to booking this property due to it being further away from most activities. However, after spending a week there I will say my wife and I had an AMAZING time. The property itself is impeccable, the staff are very friendly and will greet you anytime they walk by, the drinks are excellent and they do have top shelf I did see items like grey goose, Titos and hennessy to name a few. The food was fantastic, breakfast and lunch are buffet style and then for dinner you choose one of their restaurants, Tierra has amazing steaks but the others were good. As someone who has traveled to about 20 all inclusive, the food here was def top 3 in my books.
The beach is pristine and only a 90 second walk, there is a trolley available for those not capable of walking that distance. They have two main pools, a quiet pool overlooking the beach and the other pool being a little more lively with a DJ playing music from the bar.
The only downside, and it may not be a downside for everyone, was that the entertainment is limited. They do have pool side activities in the day time but night time activities are limited to a diff live band every night between 8-10 pm followed by Karaoke between 10-11 at their sportsbar/night club. After karaoke the DJ will play music until 1 am or so. I did rent a car at the airport so I did travel around the island and was amazed to see how many people were downtown. My wife and I were happy we chose this location as it was less crowded."
"This is a great spot if you like a thoughful, fun space. My experience was fantastic. Everyone is so friendly it almost feels like staying with a friend. The location is great for seeing the island (rent a car). The space itself was very groovy and had an awesome island vibe. The outdoor kitchen and hang out space really make you feel like you are in the space."
"My room view was the small beach, which was fine. I didn’t want to walk to far - the restaurant next gave folks that stayed at Coral Beach 10% off meals"
"We loved the Sea Breeze apartments, great value stay, location right next to a superb snorkelling area with perfect stunning sea views, (Mangel Halto Beach) if we venture back to Aruba this would be one of our stays again to keep within our budget, property could do with a revamp to keep its charm relaxing feeling but this did not bother us.

"We loved our romantic weekend here at Serene By the Sea. We celebrated our 25th anniversary with the bottle of prosecco they gave us and chose to spend most of our time just relaxing here. We snorkeled and took the available kayaks out. They even let us borrow fishing poles. I recommend the included breakfast every morning with coffee, juice, toast, fruit & homemade omelets. The wildlife of birds, fish, crabs & lizards on the deck are fun to watch. The room, bed & shower are quiet and comfortable. The view outside to the left and right is very beautiful. We even made reservations for a romantic dinner by the water with chef that included wine & dessert. Other restaurants were walkable like Flying Fishboone and we enjoyed the romantic Old Man & the Sea for dinner over the water in a bungalow. So even though we rented a car to drive round trip to the airport and explore Baby Beach, we just didn’t need to go very far from relaxing in the hammock at Serene By the Sea. Wonderful owners make it even more enjoyable. They even loaned us beach chairs, snorkel gear, towels and gave me fresh cut aloe for our sunburn. Wonderful service. "
