The property is perfect for a quiet break! Loved sitting overlooking sea glass island for breakfast every day. The included breakfast was very nice. Swim area is small but sandy bottom went out far enough to be shoulders deep in water. Plenty of chairs, beds and outdoor seating to spend a lazy day among palms. A few excellent restaurants were close to walk to. Adding to our must go again list.

Disliked: Cleanliness
When we checked in we got a room that smelt really strongly like sewer/poop. We mentioned it to them we got moved rooms but we got told “only for 3 nights and then we have to move you back to this room”, which we were not ok with so we decided to leave to another hotel. The next room we were in must have been attached to the water source/garden hose because all we could hear was running water and clanking usually starting around 5 am. Not very relaxing on vacation to be woken up by that every morning. Make sure you rent a car if you stay here because there is no other way to get around and virtually impossible to walk anywhere. The waterfront itself is very nice though.

Just what we were looking for
Serene by the sea was just what we were looking for, a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of tourism. Chef was awesome, friendly and informative...and made great open face omeletes every morning. Sea life right at the dock...crabs and plenty of fish, and iguanas living under the deck would come out and say hello. Great stay, great chef, great resort.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The bad: The bedding was stained and dingy. Pillows stained and worn. The mini fridge was not clean. Shower curtain fell off the wall when we touched it. Reported to staff but never fixed. The good: Beautiful views, on the water, some new cabana lounges, great breakfast included, quiet. Snorkel gear and kayaks available to enjoy. We were booked for 3 nights but left0 1 after two due to the room and bed.

Serene 6789 Serene by the Sea is truly a special place in this crazy world. It is family owned & run. The family & staff are the most lovely & gracious hosts. Directly on a water with a small beach, protected by natural barrier- snorkeling, swimming, kayaking are all great fun here. There are plenty of lounge chairs and a few comfy hammocks. The breakfast in the morning is delicious. Freshly made by a kind hearted chef with a giant reverence for the fish & his iguana friends. He can prepare a delicious lunch & dinner if you ask him ahead of time for a private meal. The rooms are sparkling clean, simple and supplied with fluffy beach towels, snorkeling masks, towels, refrigerator, ac( TV too) simple & exactly what you need. We would recommend a car-- the wonderful manager Reno made arrangements for us. We took a cab ride from airport that cost $38- Airport 10 minutes away. However, if you simply want to chill and stay put- there are two restaurants next door & grocery store down the road. Or bring home food and dine on the gorgeous deck overlooking the ocean. Serene is a quiet, peaceful intimate place- we made some great friends. We would return to Aruba just to stay here & decompress. This place is very unique, so special. Very hard to leave. Thank you Serene by the Sea for everything.
