Beautiful hotel in the Majorca countryside. The room was nice and bed was very comfortable. Excellent location and setting for unwinding. The included breakfast was truly excellent in quality and taste and with good variety, you have buffet and à la cart options. One of the best I’ve had at a hotel in a long time. Dinner was also excellent with 3 course options for 70 euros/person. Had asked for a...

Celebrating our wedding anniversary reminiscing on our beautiful honeymoon in Mallorca. We absolutely loved our stay at Finca Serena. Stunning grounds, gorgeous food and staff. Removed stars because we worked our buns off harvesting grapes on property with the promise of some wine shipped to us that we never received 😭☹️

Such a gorgeous resort! We had such a lovely and relaxing time here. I would recommend this hotel over and over. The hotel is close to the airport although it’s a drive from everything so that is the only thing to consider. If you are looking to relax and stay on resort for majority of your trip this would be the perfect spot for you. The breakfast was incredible, the staff was very kind, their po...

This stay exceeded our expectations! Amazing rooms, property, pool, amenities, F&B, and team. I loved spending time here, but it does feel isolated from the rest of the island, which we didn't mind for this trip! Even on a Saturday in August, the pool felt so calm and there was always a lounger available. Note on location: If you are looking a relaxing holiday and don't want to leave the property...

Let me first start by saying we really enjoyed our time here. As a 30ish younger couple looking for the time to relax, it was great. But was it 5 stars? Absolutely not. I think what frustrates me was that it’s little things that could have made our stay much better. First the staff. They were trying their best but you could tell they were undertrained and understaffed. The pool. Beautiful and qu...

Broke randomly in the middle of the night and they don’t have anyone on site t...
