I stayed at the Eden Resort with my family from 8/27/05-9/3/05. I was with my husband and 2 teenage sons. We all had a great time. We got to the hotel at around 1PM and our room wasn't ready. They said it would be ready at 3. We did a few things around the area and came back by 3 and it was ready for us. The front desk staff was very nice. We had a double studio suite. This consisted of a very large studio room with 2 double beds, an open up couch, coffee table, end table, and a club chair. There was also a fireplace which of course we didn't use. There was a small full kitchen which consisted of a full size refigerator with ice maker, electric stove, microwave and dishwasher. There was also a full size sink with garbage disposal, many cabinets and pots, pans, glasses, dishes and utensils. There was also a little kitchen table that was set up for 2 with very cute dishes, silverware, cloth napkins and cloth placemats. Our suite was downstairs so we had a little patio which led right from the room with sliding doors. The patio had 2 chairs and a little table. The bathroom had a shower/tub combo and the water pressure was excellent. There was also a sink and vanity with a bench outside the bathroom. They gave us very upscale toiletries which I loved. The towels were quite soft and plush. The beds were a bit soft though but the sheets were not scratchy and were clean. Unfortunately on our first night there was a leak from the upstairs suite. We informed the staff about this the next day and that night they moved us to a different suite. This suite was identical to the first. We were right by the highway and when you were outside you could hear the traffice but once you closed the door it was not bad. Housekeeping did a very good job. I would leave them notes in the morning for things and when we got back to the room everything that I had requested was there.
There were 3 pools and a whirlpool on the property. An outside pool, outdoor kiddie pool, indoor pool and whirlpool. The pools were great. The water in the outdoor pool was a little cool but not terrible. There were also plenty of lounges. If you wanted you could also order food and drinks at the outdoor pool. The indoor pool was wonderful too. The water was nice and warm and there were lounges and chairs there too. There were rooms around the indoor pool but I would advise against getting one of those rooms as it could be quite noisy. There was also a sauna and a gym which looked brand new and were spotless.
There are 2 restaurants and a lounge on the property. Garfields, Arthur's and the Encore Lounge. We had breakfast in Arthur's one morning and the food was very good. We also went down to the lounge a couple of times and that was very nice also. We never ate at Garfield's so I can't comment about that place.
The property itself is kept beautiful. The landscaping is done very nicely with lots of flowers and plants all around.
Also, if you forgot to bring toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors or shaving cream the front desk provided them free of charge.
I would definitely stay at the Eden Resort again and highly recommend it. If you have any questions about the resort, please feel free to contact me at pozzy@ix.netcom.com and I would be happy to answer any questions.
