We cannot rave enough about
the two week vacation we spent at Eden Bay Resort from the 9th. of Oct. to the
22nd. When we went to other naturist resorts, we did not get anywhere near the
pampered feeling and the warm welcome that we experienced there.
The resort is breath taking. The landscape is lush with flowers and coconut
trees. There are two enormous swimming pools one of which has a swim up bar
and the other one is on the beach and has a 9ft. deep end, one water volley
ball pool and two hot tubs, one of which is right next to the crashing waves
of the ocean.
Every one has a view of the ocean from a large hotel room to a beachfront
villa to the fourth row villas.
The food is incredible. At other resorts we endured buffet food, but here you
choose what you want to eat from the menu, your meals are very carefully
prepared and you can request to have it made the way you specify. They aim to
please. Dario, the head waiter, will go out of his way to make sure each
dining experience is perfect.
What really stands out about the resort is how warm and accommodating the
staff is. Impeccable maid service, any drink you want Katrina will make it. We
enjoyed the many exciting things to do there, we kayaked, took a jeep safari
up into the mountains. This really gave us a chance to see just how gorgeous
the northern coast of the DR really is. We went into a home of a local native
to see their simple life style. He showed us how to cut up a coconut to get
the milk and meat out of it. It was tasty.
We went to Blue Lake; the water is really, really blue and cold. We then went
to La Boca Beach to see the pristine beach and all the coconut trees. The
final stop for shopping was in Rio San Juan then on to the resort for a swim
and shower. The tour was from 1 P.M. to 6 P.M. On another day we took a couple
of hours to go to Cabrera to shop for gifts and to have a few ice cold
Presidentes (the local beer), all the local people are very friendly. There is
also horseback riding in the mountains and from one point you can see Eden Bay
and the blue ocean, really pretty or you can go snorkeling from our beach.
Scuba diving trips can be set up from the resort.
The most relaxing part of our stay was in the elaborate spa. You can have body
wraps, pedicures, manicures, and facials, whatever you need. We both got
massages right next to the ocean. Balcus, the message therapist, really worked
deep into the muscles. We both were limp and felt great.
The prices include everything but the excursions and Spa treatments, much more
cost effective than anything we have done in a long time, and much better.

and you will see how wonderful it
is. The web page is nice, but being there and seeing the resort for yourself
is a vacation you soon won't soon forget.
