We spent our honeymoon at serenity and had the absolute perfect relaxing week. Booking the trip before our wedding was a breeze and the staff made it very easy with setting up our airport pickup as well as planning our week. The staff was so kind when we showed up from the airport and our butler Kimberly was amazing. She worked with us to add excursions and plan out our entire week perfectly. We loved the way she planned our excursions doing the relaxing pool cabana our first day, then couples escapade where we learned a lot about the island, then adding our sunset cruise, ATV tour, and snorkeling where we got to visit spots on the island we learned about on the couples escapade. Throughout the week all of the staff was very kind but one server stood out to us, Ginel, she was so kind when she served us at dinner and then the next night went out of her way to come up and say hello to us remembering our names. The food at the greathouse was so good we loved every single thing we ordered. We also really enjoyed going over to coconut bay early one morning and spending a few hours in the lounge chairs on the harmony side that are right on the water. We couldn’t recommend serenity enough they truly made our honeymoon perfect! Read less

Everyone at Serenity made it their mission to achieve our goal- have 10 days away from busy life. We are very chilled as a result. Read less

This was our eighth stay at Serenity and it just gets better and better with every visit. To say we were made welcome is an understatement. There wasn't a single member of staff who did not go out of their way to meet us and talk to us as if there had not been a four month gap since our last visit.

This was our eighth stay at Serenity and it just gets better and better with every visit. To say we were made welcome is an understatement. There wasn't a single member of staff who did not go out of their way to meet us and talk to us as if there had not been a four month gap since our last visit. Serenity's (and Coconut Bay's) motto is to make its clients feel part of their family and they certainly achieve it. From the resort manager, Chris Chin, through all the different ranks and roles of staff we thank you all for making us feel like we had returned to our Caribbean home. This time our butler was Ali who has only quite recently moved into the role after having been part of the Greathouse staff. To say she looked after our every wish does not really reflect all the efforts she put in to making sure everything was right for us. She even called us on her days off to make sure all her arrangements had worked, despite having Kimberley as our (very effective) stand in butler. Particular thanks to you both for the lovely bubble baths you provided. As ever, the resort was absolutely spotless and our room was maintained to the highest level by Shirley and Rosey who both left their daily lovely towel designs and interesting comments for us to enjoy. The rooms are so well appointed and we just love the outside space of the sanctuary and the absolute privacy provided. The Greathouse restaurant provided us with its usual excellent standard and variety of meals including themed lunch and evening meals beside the pool. Once again, the staff were brilliant. Our thanks go to Jakim, Natoyah, Natasha, Tyler, Sarah, Hannah, Delon and head chef Leo among all the others too numerous to mention. On a couple of evenings we dined at the Coconut Bay Veranda restaurant where they now serve the Silk (Asian) and Calabash (Caribbean fusion) restaurant menus on different evenings in an adults only environment. This is something we first suggested a couple of years ago and it now allows a much quieter opportunity to sample these very good menus - an excellent initiative. The Greathouse bar was as good as ever in the capable hands of Kevin, Ray, Natoyah and the lovely Charles amongst others. The entertainment was mostly a repeat of previous stays but one new addition, who we would like to compliment, was Kelton Filbert, who played a light jazz saxophone which we both enjoyed. The MC for the majority of the wide range of entertainment events was Kevin (the barman) who is very good at including everyone and provides lots of added value to each event. We spent two separate days at one of the beach cabanas which we always enjoy. The views are beautiful out to the Atlantic and Maria island, the beaches were in their best condition for several years regarding the Sargasso weed and the water was also good to swim in. We went out on a couple of water excursions. We actually saw a decent sunset on the sunset cruise for once but we didn't seen any whales or dolphins on the whale watching trip the next day although just being out on the water is the most enjoyable aspect for us. It was good to see such a broad age range of clients at Serenity. It has always been a great draw for the newly weds but this time there were many more older couples, including ourselves, enjoying the hotel. That is a great message in itself. We look forward to being with you again in November and we have no worries that our stay will not come up to our expectations. Serenity is our most favourite place to be on holiday and that is all to do with the wonderful atmosphere created by the staff at all levels as well as the superb location and facilities. Our thanks to you all. See you soon!! Dennis and Sue Read less

My gf and I were blown away. From our room, to the nice pool and beautiful grounds, to the amazing staff and the food. It was all a spectacular experience for us. Kimberly and McCarthy, our butlers, were the best. Chris, the resort manager, was first class too. Even the waiters, waitresses, bartenders and housekeepers who kept our rooms clean were so incredibly friendly and accommodating. The only negative that I can think of during our 7 day stay was on the last day when we had to say goodbye. My gf and I have so many Caribbean islands that we want to visit but the experience I just had will make me go back to Serenity at Coconut Bay. If you don't stay here, you're missing out! This coming from a guy who doesn't usually write reviews unless it leaves a big impression on me. Well this one did. Read less
