"Aaaaaah Serene by the Sea. What a perfect name. I booked my flight and stay on a Monday and landed in Aruba that following Friday. Being an entrepreneur + lawyer + living in New York City = as you can imagine, I was in desperate need of some serious R&R. Serene by the Sea was everything I needed for my solo trip and more! When I arrived, I was greeted by the owner and her son (I believe) who were happy to welcome me and take me to my room. I dropped by bags off and could not get my bathing suit on fast enough to get out and enjoy the sun, the sea, and the beautiful scenery. I woke every morning to grab some sun and the delicious breakfast made by the house chef (who is the owner's brother and also doubles as a driver and tour guide if you need one). I took daily naps in a hammock while listening to crashing waves. I sat out on the beach chairs journaling, listening to relaxing music on my little speaker, and just having some good 'ol quality time with God. Before I headed out, I had a lovely massage on the Serene Floating Massage deck. What a lovely, relaxing experience! There is a sign that says "come as guests and leave as friends" and this is so true! If you're in need of some quiet time and relaxation away from the noise of everyday life, I highly recommend you consider Serene by the Sea. You won't regret it!"

"The private island is stunning, but the service was inconsistent. It appears the team may be short-staffed or in need of additional training—at times, there was only one waiter managing 10 to 20 guests. While some staff members were exceptionally friendly and prompt, others were unfortunately slow and lacked urgency."

"I was a solo traveler and this was the best stay I could have asked for! The staff was super friendly, access to pools was so easy and the local restaurant made dining very easy on the nights that I didn’t want to travel too far. Absolutely going to come back and stay again! And the dogs on site were an amazing bonus!!"

"We had a great stay, Danny was super helpful. Pool was clean, our room and bathroom were very clean. Staff was really friendly! Plenty of room for my wife and 2 kids. Our tip would be to rent a car to get around to beaches and restaurants!"

"The ac never goes under 74f I asked menu time to change it and they said oh just wait should be lower now but still at 73 super hot at night ."

"This was one of the best experience I ever had. I would definitely recommended this trip to everyone that want to visit Aruba. Definitely stay at where I stood at."

"Great place to stay."
