We stayed two nights at Seren during our Costa Rica adventure. It was our favorite place we stayed. The property was beautiful and unique. The host was extremely helpful and friendly. The area was exceptional! It was so beautiful and a lovely walk down to the beach. There was a cute little French restaurant right next door that was extremely good. We loved Uvita and thought we stayed in the perfect location there. We wished we could stay longer.

We absolutely loved our stay at Seren! As soon as we got there they showed us to our tent and it was so nice and cool inside. The ac worked great the whole time we were there. The bathroom accommodations were very clean and the pool was so nice to cool off in. We had breakfast there in the mornings and the fruit was great! There is an amazing pizza place walking distance from Seren and the beach was just minutes away. Thank you for making our time in Uvita such an amazing experience! Would definitely stay here again ❤️

Anny the manager was the best. She made my stay most enjoyable. Even though I found this type of stay is not for me it had no bearing on the property or staff. Love all of it.

The way glamping should be

We enjoy incorporating a visit to some glamping in our travels and this is definitely the way glamping should look and feel. Despite living in a tent, we had our own bathtub, outdoor shower and personal space which was isolated from everybody else. In addition to that, we had access to a Jacuzzi swimming pool, barbecue area and common area. Breakfast was delivered to us in the morning consisting of fresh fruit, and coffee. Really nice way to start the day. The staff was very friendly, and the beach was only a few minutes away along with other small restaurants and tons of activities.

Sehr cooles Konzept. Es gab ein kleines Frühstück mit Toast, Obst und Kaffee. Leider war unser Zelt bei Regen an einigen Stellen etwas undicht. Durch die Feuchtigkeit setzt ein wenig Schimmel an. Außerdem wäre ein Safe nett, da man die Zelte nicht abschließen kann. Dennoch haben wir unseren sehr genossen.

Sehr stylish und schön gestaltet. Leckerer Kaffee und Obst zum Frühstück. Die Eigentümer waren super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man kann Fahrräder ausleihen und über eine Kooperation Massage/Beauty Behandlungen buchen. Ich war Ende Mai dort, zahlreiche Cafés und Restaurants in der Nähe waren leider bereits geschlossen wegen der Nebensaison, der Ort wirkte relativ ausgestorben und dadurch fühlte ich mich als Alleinreisende Frau teilweise etwas unsicher abends außerhalb der Anlage zu zB Restaurants zu laufen.
