Serena Beach Hotel is well located, had beautiful timeless architecture and wonderful ambience. The staff made our stay special, very attentive, pleasant and wet had lots of laughter with them. The Chef is outstanding, all the meals and snacks were well prepared, with a diverse presentation of food and drink. The sea front needs some cleaning attention otherwise we enjoyed cooling off in the ocean, very safe and comfortable to swim, even for the little ones. We will be back!

This hotel has beautiful gardens. It’s a very relaxing place to be in. The rooms, although charming, are tired, and in need of a makeover. Food offerings are adequate, but unimaginative. Wonderful team of staff, responsive and friendly.

Beautiful hotel for a rest after safari with lovely moorish style architecture. Staff were very attentive, great food, lovely uncrowded pool and beach area. Plenty of things to do inside the grounds including kayaking, paddle board, catamarran sailing, squash, tennis, table tennis, pool and darts. It is also adjacent to a marine conservation area where you can snorkel on the reef with tropical fish. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Serena Beach Hotel. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, there is easy access to the beach, the rooms are big with comfortable beds & big bathrooms, and the staff go above and beyond to meet your expectations. For those on a family vacation there here is a kids club with kids activities (thank you Zawadi & Esther) and evening performances (music, acrobats, etc.). It never felt crowded, it was very serene and relaxing. We would definitely stay there again. Thank you!

We absolutely loved our stay at Serena. From the airport transfer, reception, pool, bars, dining options (especially Jahazi Grill), kids club, room service, and turn down service. Everything was excellent, and the staff went above and beyond for us. It rained on our last day and they extended our check out to 2pm due to flight delays.
