We were recommended this hotel by the Fasano, which we had been staying at. We accepted their suggestion, assuming it would be comparable. The room was $600 per night. It was described as a suite. It was one room. It had views of the beach. The reason that this dull hotel gets to charge such high rates is because there... More

This hotel is the only one on the beach itself. It was a flour mill once so the building was already on the beach. Very nicely decorated. Beautiful looking Japanese style place. Pool is abit funny as it looks black and not inviting. Lovely sun beds all around. Sea was very cold and the wind was very cool, so we... More

I spend a weekend here and I was positively surprised by this hotel, the staff very attentive. Nice amenities and services on the beach, I did not use the spa, but I heard good comments about it. In Punta del Este is one of the few hotels with direct access to the beach, with a nice swimming pool on the... More

I've been staying at Serena for the past 7 to 8 years,and this time I must applaud them. They renovated and the pool area is no longer in black wood.Wich is a relief. The service is great at the concierge and the reception.It's much better than last year.I mean,the rooms and bathrooms with new showers are great. I had a... More

There is only two types of rooms in this hotel - Standard & Suites. 32 standard rooms and 7 suites. All of them expensive (from $420-$650 dlls- Jan. 2013) and all of them a rat hole - Depressingly small, broken bath room, you can hear all the sounds in the hallway (zero rest), the bed is as hard as a...

This is almost a great place to stay... almost. Instead, it's the kind of place I'd never stay again. The restaurant serves delicious food in a lovely setting. The pool and outdoor seating are like something out of a post-card. The rooms are adequate, there is a spa, and the front desk tries to be helpful. However, for the one... More

As many others have noted, the Serena is small (32 rooms), insanely expensive, and difficult to book (at least three months in advance and that's just for the slow season), and while the exterior, restaurant and the lobby are really nice, the rooms and corridors are very plain and would barely count as a two-star hotel in the U.S. Yet...

We stayed one week in this beachfront hotel, the perfect relaxation place. Breakfast is served in the restaurant with direct view on the beach only a few steps away. After breakfast you can relax on comfortable couches and mattresses, literally on the beach. As it was beginning of the season, it was very calm. Staff is very friendly and always... More

Love this small hotel on the beach . Very comfortable, clean, good meals at the restaurant very tasty. Outdoor spaces are BEAUTIFUL . A place to enjoy. You need to get a bus, or drive your car to town as the hotel is a bit apart . Still I would be back GREAT PLACE !!
