Hotel Las Galeras in Las Galeras

The hotel is very clean, but the pictures on the site should be updated. Owner and staff are very pleasant. The place is cute but could use some TLC. There was only 1 lounge chair at the pool (an older one) and a few plastic chairs and small tables. The hot tub was not working. It's only about a kilometer from the beach and is in a good location near great restaurants.

Villa Serena is situated in a beautiful location with a small yet private beach. I reached out in advance and requested a specific room if available and was told it would be no problem but when we arrived we were placed in a room adjacent to the lobby and not quite the privacy I was hoping for. When I mentioned it to the manager her response was, they're all the same, not the warmest welcome from mgmt, clearly a room adjacent to the lobby it not the same as the one I asked for.

The rooms are beautifully appointed with flowers yet desperately need upgrades as the smell of mold is pungent despite their best efforts to mask it with sprays. The bathroom toliet and tub were leaking, nearly hit my head on the shower from the slipping. Was unable to unpack my clothes in the closet because of the smell of mold. The extra pillows in the closet were saturated with mold smell, I had to put them in the hallway.

The staff at the restaurant were all so polite & the food very good but dinner for 2 cost well over 6k pesos! 2 beers, 2 apps, 2 entrees, we didn't order anything fancy and paid NY prices. The place tacks on a 28% service fee! One can only hope it goes to the staff. It's unnecessarily expensive, it's better to head out into town for food.

There are so many beautiful beaches but recommend La Playita we went twice, ate fresh fish & never spent over 3k pesos including chair rental.

Was hoping to make this location the next for my 2025 company retreat but without mold remediation would not subject my team to it.
