Last week, I finally got to experience Serenade Punta Cana for myself. This resort has been my top seller in the Dominican for the last 18 months and I could not wait to see it first hand.
I was lucky enough to be able to set up a site inspection while I was there and was pretty impressed.
We stayed in the original Serenade Punta Cana ( which is more commonly known as the family side now) Due to the time of year, the property was only at 60% occupancy which worked in out favor for dining and securing seats poolside.
We stayed in the standard Gardenview suite, which unfortunately right now, gives you a view of the construction of the new Serenade building which will open next year. But, even though they work long hours, there wasn't much noise.
Food options were great, everyone was able to find something to their fancy at all the buffets and the Asian al a carte was fantastic! Due to almost 2 days of rain, we opted for more time around the pool and beach than choosing more al a cartes which only had early reservations left when we attempted to book.
Serenade has implemented a great " app" to make dining reservations, request any housekeeping or maintenance issues, amongst many other options. The app also includes all daily activities , entertainment schedules, restaurant times and an interactive map.
What really blew my mind about this resort is it's attention to families. There was so much for the kids to do, and the entertainment team included them in all their activities. The buffet had a kid section ( along with a donut wall at breakfast, lunch & supper!) A kids club, arcade and 3 big watersides, along with a smaller section of slides and splash area for the younger ones.
The adult side, while it was at capacity, was very quiet ! I may have even thought to myself, I think we are too rambunctious for this resort. If you are looking for max relax, and quiet, this is the place for you. Should you want some excitement, you have full access to the family side and the disco.
