Has anyone stayed at the Eden resort? Considering booking for next week but wanted to know:
Do they have a free breakfast (obvs not kosher but fruit and veggies?)
What’s the water park situation for kids there?

I was just there. There’s no breakfast.
No water park.
There’s a pool and a kids section with kiddie pool and splash pad/ sprinklers

Thanks! Is it weird for my girls to be in swim dresses by the kids section? How old kid would you say it’s for?
Would my boys not belong there (11 & 9)? I know it varies on the crowd at the time but was it very much frum when you were there or very mixed
Do they have ice in the hallways?
How big are the fridges? Want to know how much space I can count on
We would probably get a suite

My girls went in swim dresses there were a lot of frum people in tznius bathing suits no one blinked. The fridges were full fridge and freezer. The splash pad is best for younger kids. My bigger ones went in the pool.

I would not bring that age boys in. It’s a pool area packed with non Jews. There were 4 other frum women and their kids there when I was with my 5 yr old daughter . The kids were all under age 6. There was one family with girls who were bigger and they wore swim dresses but went to the main pool . The frum women were all dressed in regular clothes and stayed out of the pool .
Fridges are a typical hotel fridge . It’s small , but I was able to store drinks, yogurts , cheese , cold cuts , some veggies etc .
Yes, they have ice in the hallways next to the vending machines .
I didn’t see many from people this time. I’ve been to Eden Resort at least 5 times and this time I saw the least frum people than in the past . But I only stayed there for 1 night this time, so it may have had to do with that . I did see at least 6 different frum families while we were there .
The above poster mentioned a full fridge and freezer . I’ve seen that in a villa but not in a suite .

There’s a freezer?!?! That makes such a big difference! I thought I read on the website there is no freezer. Maybe the room I was looking at doesn’t have a freezer?
What kind of room did you stay in?

My boys were playing basketball and pool while I was in the pool area with my daughter . Note : it’s in the same area as the pool so the women walk around in their bathing gear even in the playgrounds and on the hotel grounds .

I was in a suite and there was a mini fridge and no freezer .
I’ve been to the villa once and I believe then there may have been a larger fridge but can’t remember . We prefer the suite.

you can go out on trips as a family if you want.
We never spend much time in the hotel or Airbnb when in lancaster because we're always out doing things ...so much to do there

Yes. One is only a few inches of water and the other is like a foot or so.

It says you are not allowed to cook in the rooms! Yikes! How do you heat up your food? I was counting on my Betty Crocker?!

We grilled in a park nearby. Tons of other families did the same as every picnic table had frum families grilling. We brought a portable propane grill along with us.
Otherwise we did yogurts, cereal, tuna wraps, cold cut sandwiches etc
You sign a paper that they can fine you $200 for cooking with electronics in your room.

Oh my! That’s a game changer.. are all hotels like that?
This might be a dumb question but is there any public park with outlets (I know what a dumb question but it doesn’t hurt to ask!). Really wanted to use my Betty Crocker to heat up pizza and dairy food that I wouldn’t put on a grill
What grill do you suggest? Cheap enough bc I don’t plan on using again but good enough that it’ll actually work

Yes there’s a park not far that has outlets but I am sorry I don’t remember the name of the park. The front desk of the hotel told us when we asked where we could go make a bbq.

Any portable grill. It’s a few days of vacation - we travel often. Grill food, bread and cold dairy. I would leave the Betty Crocker- You don’t need hot dairy meals when you’re away for a few days, why complicate the trip? Bread, cheese, deli, snacks and a few raw items to put on thr grill

Any idea where I can find it? The front desk almost laughed at me, she said she has absolutely no idea!

Try Googling to see what park this is. My filter doesn’t let me open it but it seems to have a pavilion with electric outlets
733 Williamson Road Lancaster, PA 17602 ... Electrical Outlets; Grills; Picnic Tables;
Seems to be in Lancaster Central Park but I don’t know if these pavilions need to be reserved or if it’s open to the public. I have not been there so don’t have more info for you
