    We liked everything.

    The staff is amazing, particularly the manager José. He is so friendly and made us feel at home. It is our 2nd stay at La Serena and he is one of the reasons why we came back. We love the fact that La Serena is so peaceful and quiet. It's the perfect place to relax. Also the private outdoor patio with bathtub and fireplace is so cute and romantic. It's such a special touch, it contributes immensely to making the room so charming. We will definitely be back again!

    Absolutely loved our stay at La Serena Villas. The cabanas by the pool are amazing, and free to use which was a nice perk. Every morning the staff dropped off a complimentary breakfast basket and we were greeted with a glass of champagne. Rooms were large and I loved the bathtub in the backyard. Can’t wait to stay again!

    Words can not express how much we loved La Serena. Right in the heart of downtown but down a quiet street. Walking distance to so many great restaurants and shops. From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted like old friends. A welcome toast upon arrival in a beautiful lobby with the friendliest staff Truly an oasis. From the heated pool with lush surroundings. The sunbeds, plenty of umbrellas we never wanted to leave. Poolside restaurant was fabulous for breakfast and lunch. The service by the pool was phenomenal. Dinner is truly special with a lit up roof deck. Entering the rest of the property there is a hot tub and spa services. Each room is its own little villa. Ours was a king room with a porch swing out front and a back patio with a claw foot tub and a gas fire pit. The views are stunning with the San Jacinta mountains right behind the hotel. The bathroom is nice, great shower with luxurious amenities and there is even a bar area with a wine fridge. I loved getting breakfast basket with yogurt, muffins and fruit plus local Palm Springs dates was such a yummy treat. We had the best time riding the bikes they provided around the scenic town. All this was bliss but the real standout was the staff. The management team is so accessible and gets to know every guest. They truly thought of everything and went out of their way to make our little getaway perfect. Thank you Tim, Jose, Luke, Shantae, Kaitlyn and more! We can not wait to come again soon.

    Just some little details of the shower room, the water kind of came out from the glass door crack and the shower head was really heavy. And some utensils provided in the drawer were not well cleaned. But besides these small things, everything was excellent!

    The staffs were amazing and the room we got was just like the pictures, delivered both comfy and cool vibes.

    Some minor hiccups with the room such as burned out lights and broken safe, but the on site team really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. They did a great job addressing the issues so we could focus on enjoying our stay.

    Overall beautiful property with spacious rooms and walking distance to downtown. The back patio firepit and bathtub are fun touches that make the stay more unique. The pool is heated in the winter which was really nice. We stayed over new years and they had a special NYE dinner and party on-site that was super fun. Most importantly the staff were all super helpful and accommodating. Anytime we had a question or issue they were quick to respond and always made us feel at home. Huge shout out to Holly and her team for making our stay extra special. We will 100% be coming back for another visit.

    The staff was friendly and accommodating. It has been disappointing and frustrating that the Hotel’s voicemail box is full and incapable of receiving messages.

    La Serena Villas are perfectly located on a relatively quiet street in downtown. The layout and features of our Villa were wonderful. The entire property is well maintained and, in fact, offered a sense of serenity and security.

    First room was a little small. Food at restaurant is good but could use a some different options. Some walls in and aroudn rooms could use a touch up.

    The staff responded to everyone of our requests. The first night, twe asked if an upgrade was available, and they got it for us. We asked if there was a tub, and they set up a special thing with candles. Just great.

    It needs some attention. Small things would help this place feel like the luxury it calls itself. New pillows, new and better towels, update the pool and hot tub furniture and cushions. And the breakfast basket was a nice touch but a fresh pastry from a local Source would be much nicer than the muffins. The fruit was fine but could be better. Organic with more flavor and options perhaps.

    The location was great. The pool and hot tub were wonderful. The best part of the trip was Edgar and Dutch, two employees there. They were AMAZING!! I was traveling with a friend and my expectations for luxury were a little higher than we experienced when we arrived. Those two made sure our stay was still wonderful!! They switched us to a more Comfortable room, spent time addressing our concerns. I have never had better customer service!
