This is a lovely property. I think you need more food options on site, such as a nice coffee shop, and 2 other cuisine

The staff are the best. They provide exceptional service. Only issue is with the food. Prefer more variety and also only buffet like other resorts.

(1) We were disappointed with the airport pick-up service we booked several weeks in advance, which never materialised, especially as we had been travelling internationally for the preceeding 3 days. Thankfully a local taxi person helped us out - we hope he was paid what we were charged. (2) We recommend Serena offers an 'all inclusive' option. Half board is quite outdated, given so many Kenyan coastal hotels are now all inclusive. All inclusive means the customer pays in advance, removing the worry of what the final bill is for the customer, as well as assuring the hotel will get it's money. (3) For what customers are paying, the hotel really needs to be on top of maintenance eg eroded shower hinges; cracked tiles; mould on the verandah, etc. After all that, we had a lovely time!

Pros: Great hotel in an excellent location. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Cons: There was ongoing construction during our stay, and the hotel did not maintain the beach, which made the overall experience feel overpriced for what was offered.

First visited nearly 30 years ago and have stayed several times since. It's a lovely hotel for a short stay and it has an amazing staff. The facilities are excellent, great for young families and can be lively in the evenings (ask for a room away from the music in need). The restaurants are all open attracting monkies, crows and sparrows so some surfaces are likely not very clean but generally not a nuisance. The hotel's reputation is well-deserved.
