Hotel Villa Serena

Hotel in Las Galeras

Located on the beachfront in Las Galeras, Hotel Villa Serena offers lush gardens and an outdoor pool.

Villa Serena is a beautiful place, tastefully designed, with extraordinary sea, pool and garden views. Our room is quiet and spacious and has a large baloney overlooking the ocean. It is a perfect location for people who try to find an alternative to all-inclusive hotels. The Playa La Playita, 10 minute-walk from the hotel, is among the most beautiful beaches on the island. The hotel is also 7-10 minute-walk to the town Las Galeras, where one can find good restaurants and feel the vibrance of local life at night. I particularly enjoyed the free Yoga classes facing the ocean in the morning. Angelina, the Yoga teacher, is super amiable and helped us tremendously during our stay to communicate with the personnel (we don't speak Spanish). Overall, this has been a very pleasant stay. I highly recommend the hotel.

I was disappointed by the location of the hotel as everything around it is currently under construction. It’s a bit far out from the beach by foot but probably fine by quad-bike. I only realised the checkin hours after booking otherwise I would have booked a different location as it’s quite a short window for international travellers (1-3pm). Anyway, confirmed ETA one hour prior to arrival as my E-SIM was not working as planned, arrived to find the place locked up and after a 15 min wait went to find another hotel as I had already been travelling by road for 10 hours. Long story short, got charged for the night and but wound up staying elsewhere. Perhaps the facilities are as serene as the pictures but did not meet expectations.

I would like to share my experience at Hacienda Cocuyo, which was truly amazing. The peaceful and serene ambiance, combined with the breathtaking natural surroundings, made it an unforgettable stay. The rooms were fantastic and comfortable, and the fresh mountain air and sea breeze were invigorating. The restaurant had a varied menu, offering both local and international basic dishes, although if you are looking for extensive local cuisine and more variety, it's just a 10-minute drive away. The locally-made breakfast was delicious and a perfect way to start the day, while evenings spent by the campfire near the pool with a cocktail, wine, or local beer were magical. The staff at Hacienda were incredibly service-minded and helpful, making the whole experience even more special. I also appreciated the ECO-friendly approach of the place, with no lifts, no TV or AC in the room, pure back to basics and one with nature! Overall, I would highly recommend Hacienda Cocuyo to anyone looking for a peaceful, relaxing, and memorable vacation.

We had come here after a few days in Las Galeras, where the nature is a bit wilder, and loved it. This is a wonderfully located hotel with direct beach access and sun beds. The sea is calm around the hotel; if you want waves, walk to the right towards the middle of playa bonita. Some people surf there. You can also walk towards playa coson, to the left of the hotel. I enjoyed the quiet and calm atmosphere and the fact that no music was played on the beach. Playa Bonita is beautiful and there are 4-5 places where you can eat. The hotel has its own restaurant too. If you’d like to go to Las Terrenas, you can go by taxi or hop on the motorcycle with a local person. However, we stayed for a week and only went to the town once for some supplies. The restaurants by the beach are lovely. Our room was nicely decorated and bright; also very quiet. Staff were very pleasant. We went in early June and the hotel was almost empty - we had the beach to ourselves.

The staff were pleasant and friendly. Hugo went the extra mile in trying to resolve situations, but in things out of his personal reach or responsibility he was hampered by not being able to help out at times (like with the air conditioner—see below). We all loved the beach and delightfully big pool and spent many happy hours there. Minerva was a stellar cook for the family and powerful at cleaning laundry on two occasions in record time! Wow!

The apartaments are lovely. We stayed at a 2-bedroom and it was HUGE. Very big balcony and spacious living/dining areas. It has everything you need and the lovely beach is a stone’s throw away. The staff offer an inmaculate service and were very flexible with our requests. From there we drove short distances to Playa Bonita and Playa Ballenas which are both lovely. It was a surprisingly nice complex and well maintained.

Las Terrenas is a lovely northern town on the Samana peninsula. If you want a chilled out vibe, full of locals and nice easy access to different beaches then this is your place. I went as a solo female traveller and found it very good, generally safe, did not feel threatened which is important when you're alone. Plenty of places to eat, but I would do your research first. The food was good, but often the service at restaurants was not so good. Cheap prices. Margarita Bar - inexpensive, amazing quesadillas Gelateria Italiana Artesanal - cute ice cream parlour El Loro - great beach snacks Ristorante Pizzeria Nonna Teresa - a fab family run italian with fresh pasta El Lugar - full options and good tapas style food Boulangerie Francaise - a cute bakery Empanadas y Más - didn't try, but known to have the best empanadas Pizza Coco - go-to amazing cheap delicious pizza Super Mercado Lindo - closest large supermarket if you want options 20-30 min walk or you can get a taxi/bike. Easiest ways to get around if you don't want to rent a drive is the men that drive the scooters, they all wear yellow high vis jackets so that you know they are safe, you pay them anywhere between $200-500 pesos equivalent to $3 for a short ride from A>B. But the dune buggies and quad bikes are popular for tourists to use. I highly recommend getting to see Limon Waterfalls, and I did a day trip to visit 4 secluded beaches. Waterfall tours by Flora Tours. Beaches tours by OBISPO ATM - very good value! Out of the beaches tried, Playa Las Ballenas was the calmest, but nice waters and quieter vibe to Punta Popy. Overall joyous experience for a solo traveller, I stayed at TAKUMA Hotel.

Las galeras is what the more touristy spots (punta cana and puerto plata) were 30 years ago. It is much more primitive but the beaches are amazing and there many to visit. the facilities are mixed - you can find high end resorts and simple rooms to rent. the restaurants are more than adequate but this town does not have the volume of people to keep all perfect all the time expect the mediocre and enjoy when all is great. we will come back it is wonderful

El valle is very very rural and wild.

El valle is very very rural and wild. We wanted total relax and this place is perfect for this. There’s only a few hotels and all of them have this eco-sustainable vibe that is amazing. If you’re staying at a house (not a hotel) I recommend buying good in Samaná before coming. There’s only very little “colmados” that have maybe ice, been and chips but not big like a super market. There’s not a a lot of restaurants either. Only a few of the hotels have them. There’s a local (and cheap) one called DON PIRON where you have a variety of dishes. There’s a pizzeria also. I also recommend a 4x4 car or at least one that’s not small, the roads are not in perfect shape and there’s lots of dirt roads.

It is a small town, with some good and some bad beaches. Best if them is Moron. Streets are very tight, and with many curves. There aren't many food options and during the night-time, I didn't felt secure enough to walk on the street. A good point is for the El Limon waterfall, which is a must-see.

The proximity to restaurants and night life was terrific. The resort itself was great. We loved the unit we were in. Also, the restaurant on the property was very good. A few more street lights between the resort and the main drag would be helpful. Otherwise, it was an easy walk to everything.

Las Galeras is still rural, with small but comfortable and high-quality hotels. It is an area for ecotourists or lovers of quiet and more unspoiled beaches without the structure and depersonalization of a resort. There are many small hotels and many French-run restaurants that compete with the locals. I recommend going to the local restaurants and try their excellent Creole food. It is effortless to move around the Galeras, although with great caution, because the locals drive their motorcycles and cars with a lot of anarchy and little respect for traffic rules. Our favorite restaurant was Los Conucos. It is a family atmosphere, run by Alba and her husband. Juana, the mother, is the cook, and the daughters take care of the place. It has a barbecue that is very popular with the locals. Their creole dishes are delicious. We paid an average of 25 dollars for two people, including beer. On our next visit, we would like to have cleaner beaches.

Unfortunately the beaches around weren't in the best conditions. However, that wasn't the hotel's fault. It was the fault of a tropical storm that had passed 2 months prior which affected everything. Despite this, the hotel staff did their best to recommend other activities like hikes and waterfalls, which were amazing. The food at the hotel restaurant is amazing. The location in which you stay has the mixture of being clearly in a tourist accommodated hotel but with a touch of the real Dominican experience. Prices around the whole area are quite fair. My main complaint would be that getting there in your own vehicle is complicated because of the conditions of the road for the last 20 minutes of the drive, as well as the conditions of the roads to get to the waterfalls. However, still an amazing trip. Would definitely return and recommend to friends and family.
