I had a lovely stay at La Serena Villas. The rooms are cozy and charming, complete with a private outdoor patio and a fire pit, which I really enjoyed. The breakfast delivered in a basket was adorable and delicious. However, I was disappointed with communication around my massage booking, and the pool cleanliness could have been better. Overall, it's a nice getaway for couples who want to relax.
