Best Choice in Las Galeras

Small walk to town; property is beautiful. Our rooms a bit dated, and we couldnt figure out the shower to get hot, water barely came out. The instructions, seemed outdated, so the buttons didnt work. One of our rooms A/C leaked the last night, all of our bags that we left on the floor and also the Chair. luckily our passports werent damaged. I expected a credit or our troubles, but none was offered. Front desk wasnt always staffed so couldnt get bottled waters or ask for help with the A/C; Food was great and Bar staff friendly. The grounds and iew are absolutely beautiful. Would return again though

Very nice hotel in Las Galaras
Lovely location right on the water, with a great beach (la Playita) a short 10 minute walk away. Complementary yoga in the morning was a highlight. Town unfortunately has way too much noisy and polluting traffic as is the case throughout Samana peninsula, but the hotel is super nice.

I was sad to arrive after dark and leave in the morning after only one night! What a beautiful property. The rooms are spacious, everything was clean, staff were very helpful. The food was good and reasonably priced, and the restaurant staff were extremely friendly and accommodating. The only improvement I could see is that some soft furnishings - throw pillows etc. - looked like they could use replacement or cleanable covers (maybe they can be/are cleaned but it was hard to tell). Can't wait to return next year!

The hotel has the best location in Las Galeras, near to all beaches and a walk from the village. Service was excellent. Enjoyed the restaurant and local dishes, exquisitely prepared. No TV and reliable wi-fi. For a wonderful experience away from crowds and a spectacular view, I consider Villa Serena highly recommended.
