Roger
The staff was friendly and helpful, but the room was falling apart, not to mention no warm water.
Riza Baluyut
The bathroom needs to be checked as it emits somewhat like sewer odor.
William
Therers no real view from the property you either see beat down biuldings or roofs the owners make up for alor with there very good customer service
Melissa
The staff are friendly & helpful, location is great, 1 minute walk to the beach. Sadly we did not enjoy our stay here. The rooms let this place down terribly. I booked the deluxe double room, dark, small and overall condition was tired. The balcony was absolutely useless, tiny, with an air con unit sat on it with unpleasant views. We asked to switch rooms. We were given a family room, it was a little bigger but again it was old looking. The air con unit threw out mouldy air when switched on, it was a terrible smell. The window in the room looked out into the corridor where spare beds were being stored. After a few days we noticed the room was infested with termites. It seemed as if the staff knew! We were moved to a kingsize room. Overall this room was in better condition but still there were maintenance issues. The bathroom window didn't shut so we had mosquitoes & geckos in the room. The air con unit stank just like the one in the previous room. There were light bulbs that didn't work and to top it off the bathroom door got jammed due to a faulty handle. A guy was sent to sort it out. it would appear that this was a frequent occurrence. The handle wasn't fixed, the guy put a screw driver in the door to release it. Why not just get it fixed! Lastly the hotel booked our transfer from Godofredo Airport to the hotel. They booked through Southwest Tours. The hotel charged us 1800 peso each. We later found out the cost was actually 750 peso each. We felt this was unfair.

Replace the faucets in the bathroom. You may have a pressure issue but the main problem is a design issue. Just bite the bullet and replace them.
The bathroom is always wet and musty smelling.

Don't disturb means don't disturb
Kept ringing me at different times of the nite asking me what I wanted for breakfast??? It's a pre set menu and obviously precooked no wonder the food is always cold.
Good location quiet nice room but housekeeping was dreadfully slow to get room clean before 5pm doesn't work for me I want to use my room that I paid for and not be disturbed.

The Hotel’s Restaurant food tasted good and all the staff were friendly and accommodating. But the environment is too noisy, there are roosters always making noise. Doors and windows are not noise proof so you can hear everyone in the environment. Couldn’t sleep well because of that. The AC unit was dripping water inside the room but they were able to repair it on the 2nd day. The bathroom was smelly even though it was clean must be the drain system. The door keycards were annoying because it wouldn’t open the door at the first try and at one point they stopped working and the maintenance staff had to reset the door lock. The safe on the closet was locked when we checked in and they also had to reset it before we could use it. The mi stick for streaming Netflix was unable to connect to the Wi-Fi and when we asked them to fix it, they couldn’t get it to work. We only found out on our last day there that you could borrow beach mats and towels from the front desk. They should’ve told us that upon checking in. The prices posted on the front desk for excursions were different than the prices told to us when they gave our number to their contact person. He said the prices went up and those were probably the old prices. The elevator stopped working from the ground floor going up for our whole stay there. There were flying ants in our bedsheets. It is a close walk to the shore but you have to pass thru an alley that smells bad. I like they have a tote bag & umbrella for us to use.
Annie
We enjoyed our stay, except for the roosters making noise starting at 130am!!! We had a garden view room, which I would opt out if next time to avoid the roosters and get a good night sleep. The food at salsa was amazing!!!!
Christa
The washroom ceiling at Room 304 had huge water damage stains and would leak stinky water all over you when you use the toilet. Room 306 always smelled like food and grease. The pathways to the entrance of this property would flood when it rains, so prepare to submerge your feet/sandals in muddy pools of wetmarket water to get to and from the property.
Wilma
I like property. Enjoyed our whole stay. I don’t have anything that i didn’t like about the property. The property is 2 mins to the beach. Thank you all to the staff. They are friendly.
Araceli
The property is hard to find, need more signage to find the hotel.

Amazing!

Hidden gem
Best hotel deal I had so far. It exceeded my expectations. The Salsa restaurant is an added bonus with unexpected amazing cuisine. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Serene definitely contributed to our family great boracay experience.
Richard
So so
The staff members were very nice. The restaurant was not open when we got there. The room was very small for two people. The bathroom was very small. I probably wouldn’t go back. Also it took forever to get hot water. It was hard for us to get the room cleaned. They should’ve taken one bed out and left a king bed in there instead of two queens been better but as I said, the staff was very good.
Maribel
The hotel is walkable to all the stores, restaurants & the beach. Staff are very friendly & attentive to our needs & requests. Very comfortable bed & good AC. Restaurant has good Mexican cuisine!
Kavita
Staff were really good
Fairy
This was a nice hotel, less than a minute walk to the white beach without breaking the bank. We stayed for 5 days and 4 nights. The staff were extremely nice and polite, and upgraded our room when we requested to move to a room with a bigger bed since there were 3 of us (2 adults, 1
child). The room was on the smaller side but has everything you need including a fridge and a safe. The bed and pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was great. You have to request for your room to be cleaned.
It was a short walk to all the restaurants in the area. Overall, would come back here again the next time we would stay in Boracay Island. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Stayed for 4-nights with my wife during our Valentine's Day vacation in Boracay.
The property doesn't exude that classy-looking façade at first sight like some of the hotels nearby, but offers a very serene and comfortable accommodation for every guest. The hotel staff members were very polite and accommodating to our requests. They also serve delicious breakfast. Unfortunately, Salsa Resto was under renovation during our visit so we weren't able to try their other menu.
It is located just walking distance to everything -the beach, good restaurants, souvenir shops, d'mall and other nice sights. The hotel offers laundry services too but of higher cost so they even suggested to try the shop just across the street that did a good job too.
Overall, we recommend Serene La Playa to everyone who wishes to have a calm but lovely vacation in Boracay!

This property was very accessible from mainroad and few step to beach, friendly staff and clean rooms.
Jeselle Marie
Loved this hotel!
I definitely recommend this hotel! I loved that they have water bottle that you can use to get water from their dispenser and they also have clothesline to hang your wet clothes. Their in-house resto is also fab!!
Gian Paolo
Great for solo travelers
The hotel facilities along with the friendly and helpful staff made the trip well worth every dime. A couple of things I could suggest as an afi are the wifi connectivity which keeps on faltering and the rooms could use a bit more sound proofing. Other than that, it was an overall very pleasant stay.

Fantastic spot! This was my second hotel on Boracay and by far my favorite. Very clean, great location and very friendly staff.
Roel
Overall the property is very good. The staff were nice and accomodating. The rooms are clean with just some minor issues. The in house restaurant is excellent and their free breakfast as well. I highly recommend this hotel for those who want to have a place to stay in Boracay that is nice without breaking the bank, a few steps to the beach and walking distance to Dmall, shops and restaurant.

Wir haben die Unterkunft für insgesamt 4 Nächte gebucht. Das Zimmer wurde leider kein einziges Mal gereinigt. Im Bad roch es muffig und wir hatten Kakerlaken im Zimmer. Nebenan werden Hähne an kurzen Leinen und Katzen in kleinen Käfigen gehalten, die entsprechend viel Lärm verursachen. Wir wurden täglich um 4 Uhr morgens von den Hähnen geweckt. Gut war, dass das Hotel in der Nähe vom White Beach Station 1 liegt und das Personal freundlich war.

Nice small practical hotel
Tasty breakfast but only from 8-10 hours and needs time to prepare: not good for early birds. Anyway you will wake up at 6 hours with the many nearby cocks. Otherwise silent. The room has no ventilation: you need to leave windows open or withstand bad smell. Safe not working (which is in principle a problem when you leave window open). Friendly staff. Drinkable water from a dispenser. Some salsa music (not audible from the room).
