Emplacement mais rien d’autre
Pros:

L’emplacement de l’hôtel

Cons:

Des prestations absentes
Pas de bouteille d’eau dans la chambre
Pas de café dans la chambre
Suite pour 4 : le canapé lit avec tous les ressorts qui sortent suite à notre plainte ils amènent une mousse
Réservation pour 4 : pas de linge de lit pour le canapé lit pas de serviette de toilette et cela pour les deux nuits
L’hôtel n’est pas plein et on vous donne la suite sur le parking

À 600e la nuit un minimum d’effort. Aucun autre hôte avec si peu de service en 15 jours

A slice of paradise.
Pros:

I loved everything about The Eden. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by the most beautiful Art Deco vibes and such a stunning, and an historic property. The whole place has a gorgeous, relaxed feel that makes you feel like you’ve truly escaped.

The beds were incredibly comfortable, the views were amazing, and the location is perfect — just a short walk to the beach and 3rd Street Promenade. The pool area is absolutely beautiful and the perfect place to relax.

But what really made our stay exceptional was the staff. From the second we walked through the door and were warmly greeted, they made us feel genuinely special. They were absolutely phenomenal — by far the friendliest and most welcoming hotel staff I’ve ever experienced.

Beautiful property, incredible location, gorgeous atmosphere and genuinely wonderful people. The Eden is paradise, and I can’t wait to come back!
