For a great price stay where those who have unlimited choices elect to stay. This very unique and romantic resort of privately owned homes serves as getaways for discriminatingly private people.
This Caribbean resort with a South Seas flavor offers pristine coral reef and privacy on its mile long beach and throughout its 110 ten acres of gardens with trails. Designers of the resort have preserved the natural beauty of the bay while providing luxurious accommodations and amenities. The resort hosts a National Geographic dive operator, dock, pool, and restaurant along with outdoor and personal services.
The exotic Balinese homes are cool and quiet with wood floors that are like silk. The 9 foot sliders let in the tropical breezes, scents and sounds of geckos and birds. The backup generator goes unheard. Villa Serena is well furnished for entertainment, cooking and easy living.

Homeowner Response:
It is always nice to hear that people enjoyed their stay. I would like to say that in a Roatan perspective Palmetto is not 'remote' ~ Port Royal, Camp Bay, Calabash Bight and other locations down that way are remote ~ Palmetto is 'secluded' as it only takes about 15 minutes via car to get to some of the best food markets on the island.

Everything worked out very well at the villa. We really enjoyed your place. Thanks again for renting us the villa and for your help before we actually got to Roatan.

We loved our stay here at Villa Serena. It was a very special time for us to really slow down & immerse ourselves in the beauty that surrounded us. We explored the beach and the water below, the hillside ..... * We have had an enchanted time. Cooking for ourselves was also a fun reprieve - simple food. I experimented with the cumin in an omelet w/our Mexican rice & I will do that again. I've used it previously in a dip for veggies - I have no specific measurements - just to taste - cumin in Miracle Whip w/honey to sweeten - great with cauliflower/broccoli, etc. I couldn't work the manual can openers very well (I will replace these next trip to SPS, LKM), Edmund helped but the can was a shambles by the time we got it open. Your special sprays are wonderful. I think I relaxed to much on our walk I soon learned that the little darlings could find me w/out my protection. Thank you for all your hospitality. We enjoyed our time here very much! I will especially remember your great stories! You have the makings for at least one book! I enjoyed Clive Cussler's "Golden Buddha" in less than 2 days & gave it to Edmund. I'm making a note to read his other series. Now I'm enjoying the "Sorcerer's Crossing"- like your marked pages - I took notes. I keep meeting people who instruct me in breathing & its necessity. A nurse, a Hune teacher (Hawaiian mysticism) - etc. The is another vantage point. I wish we had days to sit and talk. I found you totally delightful (Thank you Karen and I you as well, LKM). Scott, too. Wishing you the best, Karen & Edmund ps: We wish Andrew much success w/school!!
