Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at The Eden Hotel. It is a beautiful Art Deco hotel with so much charm and a magnificent view.
The staff were absolutely lovely and welcoming. A special mention to Igor at the front desk, who was incredibly kind and helpful, and to the wonderful pool bar staff member, she was absolutely adorable and attentive throughout our entire stay.
A truly lovely hotel that we highly recommend. We would definitely come back!

Pros:

The pool are was beautiful. But had to ask for bubbles from jacuzzi to be turned on. Water in pool was not clear kind of dirty.

Cons:

The bat tub was very uncomfortable to get into, the bed was very uncomfortable, the bathroom sink was stained. The beach is very far and complicated to get to nothing as stated in the reservation. parking was $55 plus taxes two nights added up to $129 very expensive.
