“Pretty good hotel”

El Eden hotel is a really nice option if you are going to be visiting Bayahibe and La Romana touristic areas and not looking for an expensive all inclusive hotel. The hotel has a restaurant and a nice pool. The staff was very welcoming and responsive. Definitely a great budget option!

“Just okay”

Stayed at the hotel for one night, before heading to the Viva Wyndham resort down the street the day after. The hotels are not in the same class, so I will attempt to refrain from comparing them.

Stayed at the hotel for one night, before heading to the Viva Wyndham resort down the street the day after. The hotels are not in the same class, so I will attempt to refrain from comparing them. Overall, I'd describe Eden as just okay. The front desk staff spoke enough English that check-in/out were easy, but the kitchen/bar staff spoke only Spanish. Whatever, that's part of traveling in another country, but the listing did say multi-lingual staff, so it was unexpected. The kitchen/bar staff did seem a bit annoyed by our broken Spanish. I don't know if it was just a dead time of year for them or what, but we only saw one other set of guests the entire time we were there, including dinner and breakfast at the on-site restaurant. Speaking of the restaurant, dinner was great. We both got chicken fajitas, and they were fantastic, but it did take a while to actually receive the food once we ordered. Breakfast was included with our stay and, while simple, was good enough. Coffee or tea, a bottle of water, fruit, croissant, and toast with ham. The room was nice, but not the cleanest, particularly the toilet. A/C worked great. There was a safe in the room, but it's not free. Bed was comfortable and we both slept well. WiFi worked in our room, and it was a decent connection. I do wonder how good it would've been if there'd been more guests at the hotel, but all I can say for sure is that it worked well for us. We only dipped our feet in the pool, but the water felt great, and the pool was clean. As the crow flies, the beach is only about a five minute walk, but you'll have to convince the security guard at the resort staff to let you through. Good luck with that. The public beach requires a 10-15 minute walk, which was fine for us.

“Probably a mistake”

OK 'ish property, we messed up choosing this one , because its long walk to the beach.Fairly clean straight forward place. Has one restaurant , that serves only snacks for lunch. Expensive mediocre breakfast and same for dinner. Down town at the T junction , there are better places.
