Apart from the slightly small room, there are no other problems. The hotel is on the beach, the scenery is very good, and the sunrise is super beautiful. The seafood restaurant is very good, and I tried different teas for 3 nights, and they were all delicious.

Wow! After a week in a remote village doing medical mission work we were blessed to stay a few days at this spectacular resort. Grounds beautiful. Staff so nice and accommodating. Food top notch. Spa, camel rides, scuba diving. I'll be back

From the moment I arrived, the hospitality stood out, the security guard at the gate was exceptionally friendly and so were the rest of the staff, setting the tone for the rest of my experience. The environment is lush, green, and beautifully maintained. What really impressed me were the hygiene standards —every surface was spotless, clean, and gleaming. I loved the variety of dining options available within the facility, and enjoying a meal with a sea view was the cherry on top. The beach itself is well-kept, serene, and inviting. As for the food and cocktails? An easy 10/10 —l absolutely delicious! Highly recommend

When I visited the Serena was not exactly an “oasis of tranquility” with large scale construction activities ongoing on the beach due to erosion. Slated for Mar-Apr 2025. Was not made aware of this at time of booking. About half of the beach was still accessible. Otherwise a fine hotel with very comfortable room, large lush and immaculate gardens, great breakfast, great food and service in the Jahazi restaurant. The pool and beach bar can be a bit loud with music in the afternoon, plus live music in the garden until 11 lm. Thumping base as it goes these days. Bring some walking shoes since the premises are really huge.
