5 star hotel all good, entertainment could be better a duo were on 3 times a week fire show was very good but only last 30 minutes then nothing afterwards
Amazing relaxing massage.
Really nice experience having a massage on the last day of my holiday. My therapist Tatiana was so lovely and really made me feel relaxed.
Great for a family holiday!
We have just returned from a 1 week stay as a family of 4 (with a 4 month old and a 2 year old) and having read a lot of reviews before we went, I would encourage you to focus more on the positive reviews than the negative as having now stayed I feel the negatives may be based on an individual experience rather than an overall outlook.
I would 100% recommend Eden Resort for families! Personally if I was travelling as a couple and looking for a relaxing holiday I would avoid but only because it's so family focused.
We stayed in a 1 bed apartment which was FAB and we loved having so much space particularly with a toddler and a baby. I could write lots of positives but I'm guessing if you are reading you are trying to consider the things that may put you off therefore if I had to be critical, we used the sofa bed whilst staying and this wasn't particularly comfortable. You may therefore wish to upgrade to a 2 bed if this was going to be someone's main bed so you have another room but it wasn't an issue. The apartment we stayed in had no hanging space and only one little side cupboard in the bedroom but we did use a cabinet in the lounge for the kids clothes. A lamp in the lounge area would be handy as it was either all lights on or off and trying to settle the kids at night was a bit of a pain a couple of times but you could take a night light if this was you. We were also based in an apartment upstairs and every time we left/returned we had to carry 2 children/strollers up and down the stairs which was a pain but again not an issue. You could perhaps request a ground floor apartment if this was you. None of these things affected our holiday however and the apartment was exactly what we needed.
The main pool is a great size with lots of sunbeds. The end of September is a perfect time for the sunshine and not having to worry about getting a sunbed! Yes, people do put towels down but there were available sunbeds at all times of the day during our stay.
The splash park for the kids was also great and we would take a visit down in the afternoon (2 minute walk) when the water was warmer for a little while! The drinks at this bar are limited but if you are coming from the main pool and don't want a beer, just bring one with you 😊.
We really enjoyed the food during our stay! Yes, it was a little repetitive at times but there were still lots of options and also some themed nights (the BBQ was delicious). We loved the poolside cafe too where you could pick up a quick snack to go or grab a plate and have some pizza/chicken kebab/burger/hotdog etc
One huge highlight of our stay was the staff! Whether it was the reception, bar staff, animation team or catering team everyone was so friendly and helpful.
When we checked in we received a WhatsApp message with a link to lots of information about the hotel. This was great as it showed you the schedule for daily activities and gave lots of information about the facilities and allowed you to book the indoor pool or the a la carte restaurant etc.
A few tips for if you choose this hotel:
We loved was being able to message via WhatsApp about any query and you always received a response within 5 minutes. It saved having to call or go to reception if you needed something.
If you are travelling with a baby and you find the water is too cold for them at the pool. The pool does get warmer in the afternoon after a morning of sunshine but you can also book the indoor pool for 45 minutes and this is warmer so they can be involved.
If you have an early flight, check in isn't until 4pm. They do hold your luggage for you but to save you searching around looking for things, pack some fresh clothes/pool items/whatever to may need in an easy access part of your case so you can just pull it out and get in with your holiday. Towel tokens were given, as were the all inclusive bands so other than your room you can access everything else.
