I had a lovely stay at Hotel Serena. The staff were so sweet and helpful. There is a good choice of restaurants and a nice bar to have a casual drink at. The hotel is in a good location as it is in the pick up area for tours. I was here for five nights and went out for day trips each day. It felt like a home from home.
