Eden Resort

Just returned from a week's stay at Eden and we all had a great time. Highly recommend for family with young children. We arrived around 12 in the afternoon after a very early start. Check in was easy and staff friendly. All inclusive bands were given and a map provided of the resort. We were told that accomodation would not be accessible until 3/4pm but I received a txt at 130pm to say the villa was ready. The children (7 & 4) were over the moon to be taken via golf buggy to our villa. We booked a two bedroom apartment (party of 3 adults, 3 children ) and we're pleasantly surprised. It's the nicest accommodation we have ever stayed in. Large, clean rooms, and a lovely seating area and private garden at rear. Main room also had an ensuite as well as family bathroom. Fully kitted kitchen too. Food was really tasty, with a delicious choice each evening, one night there was a BBQ outdoors and we also dined at the Temptation restaurant on another evening, which is an added extra (free) when booking 7 nights all inclusive (this is a must). This can be pre-booked at reception. Temptation restaurant was delicious (see pics) All staff were super super friendly and really attentive , making things easier with our 9 month old. We had tokens for pool towels which I wasn't aware of prior to arrival so that's an added perk. Save packing some. There is a shuttle bus provided, which can be used to visit the beach,Marina and old town. Another extra which I've not experienced before. But each transport provided had a baby seat / booster for each of the children and baby. On the way transfer time by coach was about an hour but got a private taxi (not arranged by us ) for the return flight which was 35 mins. Splash pad area, great for little children and the children both enjoyed the Mr whippy type ice cream from there (can only get it at this bar) Now for kids club !!! This was absolutely fantastic for the children, but particularly for my daughter, she asked to go every single day. There was so much going on all day every day to keep the children entertained. My daughter even performed in a show the entertainment team held one evening. See pic attached of availability activities. Chloe, really made the holiday for Mabli . Evening entertainment is the only area in which I can really say didn't meet our expectations. The entertainment team, worked very hard and we're absolutely superb, but this is the first holiday we've experienced where no entertainment was 'outsourced' therefore it was all down to the entertainment team every evening. The evening entertainment was held inside a Circus Tent which didn't work for us as a family. Our children loved it but because it is held in a circus tent, the only seating area was, up rickety steps and on narrow, small, benches, it was also rather dark. Again our oldest two were fine with this but by 830/ 9 my youngest would often be asleep. Therefore as a family we spent our evenings Separately as w

We have just been on a family holiday and had a lovely time. We stayed in a 2 bed villa with 4 adults and a 10 month old baby. I made a request via Jet2 for a room near the restaurant and pools due to my Mum’s arthritis and for a cot. We were located perfectly between the main pool and restaurant/bar building, and the cot was in the room waiting. The villa was a great size with plenty of room and very clean. Both rooms had massive wardrobes but limited hangers. Beds were super hard, which gave me the worst back ache so I had to book in a massage for our last day. The massage was nice and relaxing though. We hired a bouncer and changing mat which was really handy. I would have liked to be able to hire a walker and play mat/rug to provide a non slip area for my baby to play. We used the indoor pool twice as the main pools were too cold for our baby, so it was nice to have this option and go swimming as a family. The food was good, so we only ate out twice across the week. The only downside is the food was never hot, even when turning up at the restaurant opening times. The food also seemed random and no theme as such. I think themed nights like, curry, Italian, Portuguese etc would be good. The shuttle bus was great and provides 3 car seats at all times.(although one is broken) We used Su’s taxis when needing a taxi as she provided a car seat, she was lovely and was so easy to contact via WhatsApp to book. Overall we had a great family holiday and we would return.

We have just returned from an absolutely fantastic week as a couple with our 15 month old daughter to Eden Villas and from start to finish it was brilliant! There is so much I can talk about, but I will try to make it easy to digest but as a topline summary: If you're looking for a family-friendly resort with a focus on quality, Eden Villas is it. We enjoyed delicious food, premium drinks, and a comfortable one-bedroom apartment. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the indoor pool and spa provided a welcome respite. The 20-minute walk to town, with its scenic views, was a highlight - we'll be back! The Resort: It's a really nice size mini village with everything you need. I guess one downside would be just one central eating/ drinking area but we were in an apartment close by which was great. Location wise it's around a 20-25 minute walk down into the town centre which is lovely - a nice path with outdoor gym and play area for little ones en route too - and great bike path. You can also get a free shuttle every 2 hours from 10am which we used a few times back from our daily walk to the beach area. I highly recommend walking into the old town, then across the cliffs to the marina - gorgeous views! Kid Friendly: Everything is set up for children from lots of high chairs in the dining area, to playparks, kids club, mini-disco's, tons of car seats on the shuttle and more. The animation team were so welcoming and engaging. There is a permanent circus on site that operates in high-season but they had smaller performances on the weekend in the hotel included fire-dancing. Food: Firstly, we were aware due to it being low season that the a la carte restaurant was closed, however this was not an issue as the buffet was delicious. As vegans / vegetarians we still managed to eat a fantastic variety of food, including differing protein sources from beans, tofu, seitan, veggie burgers and soy sausages. The selection of fruits and salads was always delicious too. Vegan desserts were lacking but plenty of vegetarian options. Breakfasts there was always cooked options like beans, hash browns, toast, (meats, eggs etc) as well as pancakes, waffles, lots of pastries, cereals, fruits, yoghurts and continental too. From breakfast to end of the night, there was almost always food on offer so you definitely won't go hungry. They would theme evening buffets like Asian, Italian, Portugese etc - the Asian was particularly great! Drinks: The bar has everything you need and more. A delicious selection of cocktails served using named premium spirits eg Captain Morgans, Gordons, Aperol - as well as having Super Bock beer and Sangria on draft (both delicious!). There was always fruit water or a water station to refill your bottle too - and the option to take away drinks to the pool or back to your room. Plenty of mocktails and alcohol free super bock on offer as well as all the soft drinks, teas and coffee... The coffee was the only thing that was truly

Third time going here and I fall in love with it every time. The resort is a home away from home, friendly and helpful staff, regular shuttle service to old town and algarve shopping, very clean and beautiful apartments. The bar staff are amazing, especially Thaiane who was so lovely that my son gave her a cuddle! (Hes only one and wont go to just anyone) The spa is amazing. I had a deep tissue massage (by Tatiana) this time and I can honestly say it worked wonders. I highly recommend this place, and I will surely be going back a fourth time!

Would highly recommend this location for a family holiday, it had everything on site and its location is so close to shopping and beaches. The pools are excellent the staff super friendly and accommodation is high quality

Just returned from our all inclusive holiday with our 4 young children …what a place ! Read a couple of negative reviews on here after we booked …honestly don’t understand how people can moan ! From the start .. The staff on the front desk were so helpful and friendly, came straight out to collect our bags from our taxi . We arrived early so our apartment wasn’t ready which we expected , but we’re given somewhere to change and full use of the facilities until we had our rooms . This wasn’t scheduled until 4pm but received a message at 1pm stating our room was ready. Our 2 bedroom apartment was Beautiful, clean , spacious , large tv , lots of channels , 2 bathrooms ..can’t fault it . The food was amazing, the staff in the dining hall were all extremely friendly , very efficient , food choice was great all day long ..again, can’t fault it . There is a snack bar open during the day so that was great , there are a couple of pools , with a small kiddies pool which was great . Could honestly go on all day how good the Eden resort is, we 100% will be going back next year , highly recommend !
