Perfect Stay
I wanted to stay at a place that was peaceful, ocean front, small and cute lol and this place was all of the above and more! Everything was great for me. It is not right by the super touristy areas. It took me around 30 minutes to drive to Noord and 15-20 to Oranjestad. Then when I left to visit those areas I couldn’t wait to get back to Savaneta! I have to say that it was honestly difficult for me to leave the hotel in the first place because I loved it so much. There’s a selection of local and other restaurants and beaches near by. Flying Fishbone and Zeerover are just steps away. I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again!

Our oasis in Aruba
This is a quaint, delightful place that is not in the typical tourist district. Our room overlooked the Caribbean and we walked less than 100 ft to the water's edge. As a small place you are not fighting the crowds and with the included beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel equipment, and kayaks this was a perfect place to relax. Also breakfast was included every morning. It is close to 3 fabulous restaurants and within a short driving distance to Baby Beach, a must visit beach! This is a family run place and what a great family they are. Very friendly, helpful, (especially when we had a dead battery as we were departing for the airport) and accommodating. For us it was the perfect place to stay.

We loved our stay at Serene By The Sea. The property is away from the tourist section and authentic Aruba. The facility was clean. Snorkeling is available on site with basic equipment. Breakfast is prepared fresh each morning right on the water. The beach was lovely with chairs and hammocks. Highly recommend for a nice quiet stay in Aruba. Tip: Flying Fishbone is walking distance. To get the feet in the water seats, book a few months out. We did get a beach seat which was lovely also.

Great hotel!
We were looking for something much quieter than the resorts that still had an ocean view, and we found it. The location was great. It was right on the beach with a beautiful view. The hotel had a very intimate feel and was very peaceful. Kayaks are provided so you can take a short trip to glass beach island. There is also snorkel equipment in your room. There is breakfast downstairs in an outdoor patio which was a great way to start your day with a gorgeous view. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and big. I highly recommend this hotel!

My wife and I enjoyed our most relaxing vacation in years during our three night stay at Serene by the Sea. We particularly enjoyed being able to swim and snorkel from the small beach right off the dock. Chef Emile prepared us a fabulous surf and turf meal one evening, which was most enjoyable. The ease of access to the airport, the availability of parking, and the proximity to Mangel Halto and Baby Beaches all made my so glad I steered clear of the Eagle Beach hotel zone. We can't wait to return!

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.

6/10 Good

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.

4/10 Fair

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.

This place was wonderful. The owners are a family. They are around all the time and really care about how you are doing. This is on the quiet non-tourist side of the island. They have a chef who makes you omelets in the morning in a cabana right on the water. This place is a hidden gem and will definitely be our place to stay when returning to Aruba.

A beautiful and relaxing place to stay for a while! This small and basic family run and owned property is right on the water located on the quiet side of Aruba. Serene by The Sea has wonderful views, warm waters to enjoy swimming or water-craft, and very friendly and helpful staff and owners. Two of the best restaurants on Aruba are a few minutes walk away.
