Me and my boyfriend who are both in our early 20′s stayed at the Eden resort from the 13-17th of June, just 3 days after the opening of the resort. The following is an honest and detailed account of our experience during our stay.
The Resort: Eden Resort really is as good as it looks. On arriving at the reception of the resort you are taken back by the modern luxurious feel and this is continued throughout the resort. The staff are exceptionally friendly and the service felt more and more personal throughout our stay! The resort is quite large little houses dotted around the large gardens. It really does feel like your on a movie set when your there. It was also always extremly quiet and peaceful there- although this may be because the resort is brand new and not many people were staying at the time. The resort has 3 large pools which are very nice. The main pool has a pool bar and they do entertainment like quizes and water arobics. there is also an indoor pool and spa with jacuzzi but these were not open during our stay as they are finishing some work in the resort. there is also a minimarket, resteraunt and bar but we went out every night so didnt eat/drink there.
The Rooms: We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment and all I can say is that it was STUNNING! Modern, extremly spacious and exceptionallyu clean. The maids clean and bring fresh towls every day. The room is equipped with everything you could possibly need including tv, ipod docking station and FREE internet which we thought was great! the only complaint i could make was that the rooms got a bit chilly at nightime at this tine of year as there is no heating just airconditioning.
The Location: Eden resort is slightly in the middle of a building site! the whole area seems to be being renovated and new resorts being built. however this was never a problem and the resort is well away from any noise. There is a free shuttle bus which comes every 45minutes to and from the beach which comes every 45minutes which was excellent! It literally takes less than 5 minutes to get there. The resort is halfway inbetween the old town/beach and the strip which was really convenient. The only complaint waas that the last shuttle was at 6.30pm which meant we often had to get a taxi to dinner in the evening. however this only cost 5euros and we even walked there a couple of times..it only takes 15 minutes!
Albuferia: Albuferia is really beautiful and is great for a relaxing getaway. There is a beach at the old town which was busy but not over crowded . it was clean and sandy althogh the water was freezing! The old town has your basic british cafes and bars, but if you look around there are some great little resteraunts serving traditional cusine and fresh sefood. For nightlife head to the strip which has numerous bars and clubs to party at. The Kiss club is open till 7am! there are also a few really nice resteraunts here too. If you dont fancy spending your whole holiday at the beach then there are plenty of activties too, a nearby waterpark called aqua world 19euros for entry and lots of boat trips to the caves start at about 25 euros per person-some include food. The weather is amazing this time of year sunshine and blazing tempretures every day of our stay- althogh it can get chjilly at night- so bring a cardi!
