Serenity is just that, A calm romantic getaway with amazing staff and beautiful scenery. We enjoyed the food, the room and all St. Lucia had to offer. There were so many amazing people that made our honeymoon great that we can’t list them all but we have to give our butler, Ethan, a shout out because of the advice and everything he set up for us! He made our stay even better. Next on the shout outs would be the amazing people that made our room a home away from home, Tracy, Christy and Trista! There were so many people that made wonderful drinks and food service wonderful like Kevin, Charles, Tasha, Carnela and so many others! The chefs at the Greathouse are superb! The access to the rest of coconut bay resort is nice for a change of pace but coming back to the calm and tranquil pool and hot tub was refreshing. Thank you to all the people that make Serenity such an amazing getaway from the craziness of the world! Read less

This was our second time at this resort and we loved it all. This place is more low key and laid back-which we found we enjoy much better than the larger resorts we have been to. Hospitality: shout out to Christy, Rosey, Shirley and Garvey. Not only did they work hard to make sure the rooms were perfect, their daily notes and smiles showed how much they enjoy what they do. Spa: Dana, Kim, Gabina: the spa is beautiful! Dana was amazing and so sweet. She is very good at what she does and is so humble. Food and bar: Ray, Kevin, Jonathan the coconut man, Natasha, Cornela, Natoya, Hannah, Ginel, Charles, Taylor, Jessica, joela, Tresa (apologies for any misspellings) were all absolutely FANTASTIC. Their energy was contagious and were all very hard working. The drinks and food were amazing. Our butler Kim was also great-always available but was never intrusive. Her smile was so contagious ! She made sure our clothes were laundered before we left so we wouldn’t have homework when we got home. One thing that stuck out was the manager- No one that worked there had anything bad to say about him. He was always there making sure everything was working smoothly and supporting his team. He even was asking for feedback and ways to improve-which my list was very minimal. Management can make or break a business, and I was happy to support a business that takes care of their people. Tips/tricks: -You get door hangs to order breakfast to the room. We filled them all out at the beginning to have coffee delivered in the mornings. Much easier to fill out early then trying to do it at the end of each day when have been drinking. -we brought a washcloth from the room with us to the pool to use to wipe off sunglasses. That worked better than using wet towels or sweaty clothing -The soups are amazing and are a must. Never thought I would be obsessed with soups but they were all so good -The treehouse at the coconut bay resort was extremely good and a must try. We struggled with leaving the great house restaurant (only restaurant on the serenity side) because we love the food so much but the walk and the jerk chicken was well worth it. Thank you all once again for another wonderful trip! We will be definitely booking again ❤️ Read less

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Serenity to celebrate our first anniversary and could not have been more thrilled with our experience. It was absolutely wonderful and we have been talking about a return trip since we left. Our suite was beautiful. We chose the grande plunge pool suite and loved the large plunge pool and the outdoor shower. The interior of the suite was very spacious and well appointed. Shout out to Vaniah and Trisha who did a wonderful job servicing our suite twice daily - we loved the towel animals, flowers, and kind notes. We enjoyed going to the main Serenity pool during the day, which had a more than adequate number of lounge chairs with large umbrellas as well as pool cabanas. The staff did a great job in the pool area, regularly checking on us and serving us food and drinks. Shout out to Ray for having the best concoction for cleaning sunglasses!! The main bar had lots of seating and fans - we found it to be a great break from the sun. The drinks were fabulous - our favorites were the Bob Marley. Serenity Rum Punch, and the Jonathan special (made by Jonathan in fresh coconuts) - but you really cannot go wrong with any of them. Thank you to Kevin, Ray, and Charles for doing such a great job with the drinks! We also loved our beach cabana day - the swinging lounger was so relaxing. We found the beach to be beautiful and they did an excellent job regularly cleaning the seaweed. My husband and I enjoyed the beach bar and burger hut! The food at Serenity is outstanding. Truly 5 star meals. We did not have one meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner that was less than great and the food was always so fresh. I have dietary restrictions and they were able to accommodate these with absolutely no issue - they made me food I have not been able to eat in 15 years! The chef truly does a wonderful job! Our favorite meal was the Wednesday night Starlight Serenade around the pool. Going into the trip, we did not realize there would be live entertainment every evening. All of the musicians and performers were very talented. They also have a food and rum night with stilt walkers and fire eaters, which is a very fun evening. We also participated in a few activities during the day - the sushi making class with Chef Lucy, the sip and paint, and the wine tasting - we enjoyed all of them! But truly the best part of the trip was the people. The Serenity staff is beyond kind, fun, and incredibly good at what they do. They truly go out of their way to make you feel special every single day. To those of you I have not yet mentioned (Sabby, Joella, Delon, Tyler, McGregor, Ethan), thank you for making this trip so special for me and my husband. Last, but certainly not least, to McCarthy, our butler, thank you for everything this past week - you were so attentive and made sure we had the best week possible; we will always consider you a friend!

My husband and I stayed at Serenity for our honeymoon and it was literal perfection. We are already talking about going back for an anniversary. I wanted to go somewhere completely relaxing and stress free and this was it!! They literally think of everything. Our butler Kert was awesome and made our stay even better. He always kept our minibar stocked with our favorite beverages and made sure we were taken care of. He made the perfect itinerary for us and took care of all of our dinner reservations. We got the grand romance package which included a sunset cruise, couples escapade, in suite massages, beach and pool cabana days and private pool cabana dinner. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation (mostly relaxation which is what we wanted). The rooms are amazing...outdoor shower was heavenly. We loved having our own plunge pool and spent a lot of time there but could always mix it up and go to main pool when we wanted. Nothing ever felt too crowded which we loved. The food was out of this world which is hard to find at all inclusive imo. We ate at the Great House every night and did not feel the need to try other restaurants. Other awesome staff members: McGregor, Ray (pool bartender), Ginell (waitress). To name a few, but honestly the entire staff is 10/10. We can’t wait to return! Side note: I was nervous about the beach aspect but it is beautiful (seaweed very minimal) and super close by, don’t let that sway you. See you soon Serenity. Read less
