The coast is always beautiful but unfortunately it can also be very windy and cold here. Thankfully we could the ocean from inside our room. The pool and spa were under reconstruction and there were a lot more kids than we expected for the price point. Highlights were a super comfy bed, real glasses and mugs in the room, and fireplaces throughout.

The property was beautiful and well maintained. We loved the little lamps leading to the beach at night and the fire kettles were wonderful to enjoy too.

The property was very special! The staff from check-in, turn-down, restaurant, golf cart transportation and check-out were fantastic! The cabins are right on the beach. They have nightly bonfires on the beach as well as by the volleyball court. The lobby is beautiful and inviting. We had a wonderful experience at the restaurant on site too! We'll definitely go back again!

This was the best place in Monterey (Marina). Beautiful room. Very clean. They welcomed our dog. We were right on the beach. Very romantic atmosphere. The staff was very attentive. Well worth the price. Can't wait to go back. This was the perfect vacation! Thank you to everyone at Serenity!

Wonderful experience

Our two nights at the hotel was grande. The staff was delightful and always ready to help us with our every need. The room was comfortable and the fireplace was an asset due to the colder, rainy weather.

Very Romantic Getaway

Pros: Location is great! Right on the beach. The new restaurant and bar is very good. Wine and cheese tasting and bonfire on the beach all included.
If you do not have any kids try to request an upper room. We were below a family and the kids were quite noisy during the day and they woke us up earlier than we wanted to be in the morning. Other than that this plae is fantastic. Worth every penny.

A little piece of heaven

My family always like going to the beach. It was what attracted me to book this room. It was beyond my expectations. They have the best staff, always friendly and ready to help. I have a son with special needs and he was able to enjoy the beach since it was just a short walk from our room and it was quiet enough that he was able to relax. The breakfast was great and what I liked about it is you pre order the night before and they will deliver the following day at the time you want it.
