Really nice place, Good pool and a beautiful beach.
Lots af monkeys in the garden.
Wonderfull staff
3.0 / 10.0
The staff throughout the hotel are friendly. No less than in the past or what you’d expect. The restaurants remain very good. The gym is very good too, for a hotel.
But the room was old and disappointing. The shower flooded every time because the flat surface between the partition and tub allowed water to collect and then drip to the floor instead of the tub.
The doorknob on the bathroom door was partially detached.
The TV was old and angled upwards.
The leather on the office chair was frayed and tatty.
The bathroom/bedroom frosted window was loosely installed, which meant that it would rattle if other people on the corridor closed their doors.

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!

4.0 / 10.0
Beautiful grounds.
Vast gardens and well maintained.
Decent beach front with some activities.
This hotel is 50 years old, I googled that and it’s been modernized to still afford a good stay.
That’s laudable
Where it lets down is the food.
Breakfast was decent but dinner was a huge letdown.
I’m not going to bore you with details, skip the dinner buffet by all means and if you must, the sea food restaurant was a good option.
I will never understood paying for things like water when you have a buffet.
What is one supposed to do?
Choke on meals.

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.

A fitting end to our holiday and a restful break after a safari tour. High light of the hotel was the quality of the food and the helpfulness of all the staff. They bent over backwards to make sure our stay was comfortable. A particular mention goes to Evelyn at the front desk for helping us with a later check out, Nelson who runs the watersports centre for organising our trips out and the enthusiastic pool instructor for the pool aerobics and water polo.

We had an excellent stay, everyone went out of they way to help. The chefs Eric and David made us excellent vegetarian dinners.
We were accommodated so well as we have a late flight. We cannot praise the staff enough for making our stay a memorable one. looking forward to returning to the property.

Property is great . Only fault is no CCTV on property in the event of mishap. Got my shoes stollen at pool area and security couldn’t do much. Could have been worse (wallet or phone) .
Other than that, it’s good property for both couples and Family vacation.. Staff and service is general is excellent.

Very disappointed in this Serena property. Very outdated and when we got into our room there were hundreds of mosquitos in the room. They came to spray, but then did not clean up the room that now had dead mosquitos every where. They have no where to charge the cell phone so I had to leave my phone at the front desk. I would not recommend this place,

The hotel and grounds are very beautiful as is the beach area. The food was outstanding, a real highlight of our stay and we were hugely impressed by its standard. Finally, the staff couldn't have been nicer or more helpful on top of their overall professionalism
