"Staff were excellent. Attached restaurant was great, though pricey. Waterfront access was extremely enjoyable. The rooms and appliances could use some renovations. Overall great experience."

"The house was stunning, very quiet neighborhood away from the main tourist area. It is a drive to go back and forth between Palm Beach and here, but you really can not beat this area. The beach is stunning. Overall we would 100% stay here again. "

"High end luxurious resort with guest to staff ratio making it seem like everyone was there exclusively for our benefit. "

"The best, is, of course, the view. The owners provided every conceivable convenience and amenity to enjoy the home. They are perhaps the most attentive and involved hosts we have ever encountered.The house is older, but has been well updated. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable . Kitchen is smallish, but generous outsideThere is endless space to gather together, or find seclusion. Furnishings were nice and generally kid-friendly. The grounds were wonderful, well furnished and maintained.No beach is truly private in Aruba, but as a practical matter…this one is, although the public beaches a mile or two away were more inviting. Baby Beach is wonderful especially for families with small children wanting a sheltered ocean experience.The site is a bit remote. Mostly of the locals, for the locals, aside from ocean front properties. Seemed very safe, as we felt everywhere in Aruba.Aruba is more like Arizona surrounded by some very nice beaches than a Dutch version of Hawaii. It is unequipped for rain, which we had. This property was not immune to the problems of island aging infrastructure. Aruba was a petro-boom town from the ‘20’s until the 1980’s when the massive refinery ceased operations . The country still hopes to resurrect it. If reminders of the world’s reliance on fossil fuels ruins your every day…this may not be the vacation for you.Arubans seemed to us to be the most genuinely friendly people ever, for an economy that does the Faustian deal for tourism."

"The home is absolutely beautiful! In a good area as well! Frank & Jeanette were great hosts and always quick to respond/check in on us! They have a great kitchen that’s well stocked with any utensil or appliance you’d need! I felt VERY safe in their home as the doors always lock behind you, although Aruba is super safe to begin with. The back patio is perfection offering a space in the shade as well as a space for sun soaking! Hot tub was 10/10! Bathrooms were absolutely gorgeous and roomy (showers were perfect)! Bedrooms were great sizes and the beds were super comfortable! The black out curtains were a plus! The AC worked quick every time in every room. I would recommend anyone and everyone this home as it was just all around a great place and a great area! The hosts are amazing as well!!! Hope to stay here again! "

"We’ve been staying at this property for a couple of years already. We love it and wouldn’t pick any other."

"The house was great! Exactly as described, fully equipped and well taken care of. Property managers were welcoming and offered lots of local restaurant suggestions. Check in and out was a breeze. Very clean. Pool was such a nice amenity to come back to after a day at the beach. "

"We loved our romantic weekend here at Serene By the Sea. We celebrated our 25th anniversary with the bottle of prosecco they gave us and chose to spend most of our time just relaxing here. We snorkeled and took the available kayaks out. They even let us borrow fishing poles. I recommend the included breakfast every morning with coffee, juice, toast, fruit & homemade omelets. The wildlife of birds, fish, crabs & lizards on the deck are fun to watch. The room, bed & shower are quiet and comfortable. The view outside to the left and right is very beautiful. We even made reservations for a romantic dinner by the water with chef that included wine & dessert. Other restaurants were walkable like Flying Fishboone and we enjoyed the romantic Old Man & the Sea for dinner over the water in a bungalow. So even though we rented a car to drive round trip to the airport and explore Baby Beach, we just didn’t need to go very far from relaxing in the hammock at Serene By the Sea. Wonderful owners make it even more enjoyable. They even loaned us beach chairs, snorkel gear, towels and gave me fresh cut aloe for our sunburn. Wonderful service. "

"We were looking for a one night stop on this part of Aruba. The room was perfectly clean, comfortable and easy to access! 10/10 would stay here again when visiting Savaneta. "
