We stayed at Serenity by the Sea on Dec 1-8, 2018. The condo was very modern and well-appointed with a spectacular view of the palm trees, pool and tropical waters of the Caribbean. Landscaping in the pool area is just gorgeous. Perfect weather with a high of 82, low of 78 and a constant breeze.
There is a bit of construction as the resort is nearing completion, but it didn't bother us. The resort was fairly quiet since we visited just before the busy season. The pool area was quiet and enjoyable.
We appreciated the use of the washer/dryer, cooler, beach towels and poolside grill. We did rent some beach chairs under a palapa on our last day, which was a great place to relax with a cold beer and a good book.
Sean was very helpful at check-in and check-out. Other property management staff were helpful as needed. The little on-premise store was not open the week we stayed at this unit.
We were more than a bit surprised at the cost of groceries in Aruba, sometimes 2x-3x more than we pay at home. Restaurants were also quite pricey. However, this is probably true of most islands.
We had six adults and rented a H1 Hyundai van, with plenty of room for luggage. Visited Baby Beach and Arashi Beach for some excellent snorkeling. My husband also went scuba diving on two occasions.
We felt very safe in Aruba and would highly recommend a visit to Levent Resort and Serenity by the Sea! A special thank you to the owners of this unit... it's beautifully decorated and we felt right at home.
