Multi-generational Vacation at Mara Serena for a week!
The pool and ocean and right out your door a few steps away! We utilized the pool everyday and enjoyed the beautiful sunsets in the evenings.
The food Chef Ariel and his wife Elida created was amazing, they made us feel like family. In addition to breakfast, we had Ribs, Italian, and Seafood they are the highlight of the house.
Daily housekeeping is a nice amenity. They made the beds, kept the rooms clean, and provided fresh towels by the pool daily. The Wi-Fi was solid.
Communication with Jason was excellent. We booked a fishing excursion and Airport transfers and would certainly utilize those services again! Jason walked us throughout the house and explained the electricity fees. We were given examples AC continuously ($110/day) vice judiciously ($25), we only ran them at night and the cost seemed to fall above the range given at $70/day. We did have an AC that was broken, Jason’s team fixed it in one day!
The car service is expensive ~$50 to the store/shops that are less than 5 miles away. We ended up utilizing Uber/Taxi’s and that cost ~$5 USD each way.
The location is not suited for walking to attractions. We walked to Sosua Ocean Village ~20 minutes, and we took a taxi back.
We booked the fishing trip with Jason, and excursions directly with tour providers. They picked us up and we were happy with both our arrangements.
We do wish there were beach chairs.
Overall, Mara Serena was a nice family vacation and one we won’t soon forget.
