Serenity at Coconut Bay

We've traveled all over the world and Serenity is now at the very top of the list as one of our favorite resorts we've ever been to. The excellent service was especially noteworthy. We prefer quiet, laid-back vacations, and Serenity provided that and more. The atmosphere and staff exceeded our expectations and provided for us a wonderful 20-year anniversary celebration. We hope to return!

As we got off the plane and waited in the COVID-19 line for an hour and a half we were ready to get to the resort. We were privately driven to the resort and from the moment we stepped out the experience started with a fresh picked refreshing coconut! From the service to the amenities, this resort for a Honeymoon is hands down amazing. The Serenity portion of the resort was newer and very clean. The food at the Greathouse was incredible and the chef will even cook you anything you want even if its not on the menu. With our Honeymoon package we got plenty of excursions included like a private island and mud bath tour and a sunset catamaran trip. Overall, this resort was well worth it, and will definitely be going back for Anniversaries!

From the moment we arrived, we realized this resort was different! Check in was very expedited and laid back. There was no rushing us to make dinner reservations or book excursions - that was left to us for when we were ready. We were officially on "Island Time" and told that we should relax and enjoy; the Serenity team was there to support anything we wanted/needed and they delivered and then some! Serenity was amazing across the board! This is truly an all-inclusive resort with no hidden fees or surprises. So much to share that I am going to break it down by topics: Serenity Food: - We ate like kings/queens with the gourmet food prepared by the chef, which included room service. Our first night, we dined on the beach and ate lobster and steak. The lobster was the best we had ever had and we are from New England! the food was tremendous and prepared as ordered. We easily gained 5lbs each during our stay :) Serenity Suite: - Our room was a Premium Plunge Pool Suite and was very generous in size and stocked with all of the beverages we requested. It was incredibly comfortable and we slept well. The room didn't have the damp smell we had come across on our other trips and there was fantastic AC split units in our room. I believe the only difference in the suites is square footage and we could have gone with the smaller room. The housekeeping staff was fantastic from cleaning to turn-down service and the personal notes were a lovely touch! Serenity Service: - One word: OUTSTANDING! We did not pass a single employee on the entire Coconut Bay resort that did not acknowledge us and most asked if how we were doing, if we were enjoying our stay or if we needed anything. The Serenity staff knew us quickly and greeted us warmly always. Albert, Delon, Jonathan, Lee, Corneil were common bright faces on the resort and made us feel at home. Serenity Amenities: - The plunge pool, hammocks, and bar in your room leave you wanting little but add a beautiful view of the island, a great beach, Personal Beach cabana's reserved with your butler, a great restaraunt, lush grounds, The Greathouse, bar and pool. We had full access to Coconut Bay Resort which had multiple pools, restaurants with fantastic food, a lazy river, petting zoo, and a lovely spa and so much more! Nothing like a couples massage 10 feet from the ocean! We went Deep Sea Fishing with Mystic Man and caught a 200lb Blue Marlin. Catch of a lifetime and it was an amazing trip with beautiful island views. St Lucia Island and Culture: - The island was lush and tropical. The Pitons are beautiful and the island is very hilly/mountainous. It remains more pure than other places we have been in the Carribean and not so commercialized. It was refreshing! Tourists are welcomed and appreciated and St. Lucians are warm, relaxed and kind hearted. COVID: - Do your homework before visiting. St Lucia currently requires a decent amount of paperwork in advance of your travel, including: A negative Covid PCR test (no rapids allowed) within 7 days of arrival, Travel Registration Form, Health Questionaire and Travel Autorization form. Locals are required to wear masks in public at all times and this is heavily regulated. Visitors are also required to wear masks when not at the pool, sitting down to eat or at the beach. Social distancing is required. We had our temperature taken at every meal and activity. Thank you so much Serenity and staff for an amazing stay! Best Trip EVER! We plan to come back next year with our friends and highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for an amazing and luxurious trip! MANY THANKS to our favorites: McCarthy, Nerissa, Quade and Lez! for making our stay so special and making us feel at home. We cannot wait to see you again!
