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!

Chef Elise was awesome! I loved hearing his travel stories and looking thru all his photos. He feeds the iguanas, fish and crabs too! Breakfast consists of eggs, omelet, whatever ingredients you like, toast, fruits, pastries & coffee. Great way to start the day.

This is not a luxury resort. It is everything you would ever want in a quiet, relaxing vacation where you feel like family and avoid all the hustle and bustle of a commercialized vacation. The family that owns and runs this resort make you feel very welcome! The chef prepares a wonderful breakfast each morning. He also took us on a private tour of the entire island! We saw things we would have never seen! We booked our next stay two days after we had been there and we are already counting down the days before our arrival!

This was the perfect stay. It's not a glamorous property but the room was big and very clean with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast provided was fine. It's right on the water and beach towels, lounge chairs, snorkeling gear are available. They also have kayaks for guest use. No fighting for access to chairs or anything else. Next time we go we will be staying there. It's also a family business. Owner and her brother and son work the property.

We completely enjoyed our stay at Serene by the Sea. The family that runs the hotel is very friendly, helpful and responsive. They answered every question, helped us get transportation and made excellent recommendations regarding restaurants, the area and services. The facilities at Serene are very quaint, comfortable and provide a relaxing retreat. Savaneta is a great place to stay when in Aruba. Very quiet and picturesque, yet with easy access to downtown or other parts of the island. We will certainly stay here again the next time we visit Aruba.

Boy did we get lucky picking this place. The location is outstanding, the rooms are clean and comfortable, and most of all, the family that runs the hotel is so so so lovely. I want to write paragraph after paragraph about how much we enjoyed our stay here, but I also want to make sure that people read it and also chose to stay here, so I’ll just keep it to this: it’s right on the water, and you can see lots of interesting fish, and even a sea turtle here and there snorkeling right by where you eat breakfast (which is also lovely and includes visits from several named iguanas that visit for snacks from the cook each morning). We’ll be back, and I don’t want to stay anywhere else on the island.

The staff was extremely friendly and the morning breakfast was a treat. It’s located on a beautiful private beach in a perfect location for watching the sunset in peace. The only downside was we were there for 6 days and no one came to clean our room. We asked but still no one showed up. Other than that it was perfect! We will absolutely be staying there again.
