Waecicu Eden Beach Hotel

Waicecu Eden Beach Hotel was the perfect escape from the city. The hotel arranges a taxi to pick you up from the airport and then there is two options to reach the hotel #1. Via boat (roundtrip) provided by the hotel. #2. Via road , but you will hike downhill for about 5-10 minutes (would not recommend for people with knee issues. Now option #1 is the easiest, however they do not offer boat services after 6pm due to low tide. So be mindful of your arrival time. Another important thing to note is that the hotel charges you for every time you need to leave the hotel via boat. So if you plan on doing excursions ,visiting the town or other beaches keep that in mind. Now, the actual hotel is a typical Indonesian style hotel. Its beautiful in nature, there is a private beach, water is clean, they have a restaurant on-site, they offer room service, the views are spectacular, there is Ac and wifi. Our room suite had a mini fridge, bed with mosquito nets (we appreciated this), a closet, 2 beds, and the bathroom was in a separate room connected to our outdoor lounging area. It is not luxurious, or remodeled, but it has everything that you need. We stayed for 4 nights and our experience was amazing. The staff was attentive, the food was delicious, the beach was amazing and the views were spectacular. You'll love it! The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the excessive amount of steep stairs throughout the property. I never got used to it. The staff does help with carrying luggage.

If you are after rural tranquility then this is the place for you. It is directly on the beach and the hotel airport transfer will drive you by car part of the way and then bring you in by boat, luggage and all! Whichever accommodation you have there are a number of stone/rocky steps to climb, either up to the road or down to the beach. Do not worry about carrying heavy cases up and down all the stone steps, hotel staff do this for you. We were in a family cottage, consisting of 2 double rooms, a kitchen, shower room / wc and a lovely balcony for sitting out admiring the stunning view. The beds had mosquito nets - very necessary! Kitchen has a full size fridge and the hotel were generous with free bottled water. Shower only had cold water which, in 33 degree heat outside was not really a problem, but came slightly as a surprise to those of us who like a lukewarm shower rather than a completely cold one.Staff were very friendly and helpful, couldn't do enough for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner in the restaurant on both nights and loved the large range of refreshing drinks available. Breakfast was not buffet style but still had menu options to please both European and Asian tastes. If you are going out very early on a day trip then the hotel are happy to provide you with a breakfast box the night before. Also it is possible to climb the steps up to the road to get picked up for said day trip. Check with hotel staff and they can point you in the right direction.

Great room, service, staff. It's a hidden gems/speakeasy that a bit far away from the city center but you will get the calm and peace staying here. There is no proper street/road going down to the hotel area so you have to walk through a bit of jungle but it's worth it.

Love the room, is pretty clean, bathroom is pretty big.

Go by boat! As other have said the walk from the road to the hotel is pretty brutal.. its not actually that far but you do have to be fit and sure-footed due to how steep and loose the surface is... the hotel staff are amazing, views amazing, snorkeling is pretty good off the clean beach. They offer a boat taxi and can organise a car taxi (scooter taxis are most common) to pick you up.. this makes the walk a lot easier as the reception is literally on the beach... Id happily stay here again and would recommend to anyone with reasonable fitness levels. All rooms and cabins are up the pretty steep hill. So be aware before booking.

This was a beautiful stay in a family run beach side hotel. Our hosts were so friendly,food was great and the view was fabulous. Make sure you follow the instructions to contact the hotel before you turn up! Theres a fabulous way of getting there by boat or else you have to do what we did (as we didnt read the very clearly worded instructions) and you have to trek down the hill!

A beautiful setting with a nice pool. If you are sensitive to road noise, you may have issues as it begins at 6am with scooters flying down the road right behind the bungalows. Great jungle view!!!

Fabulous hotel This was our second stay. A litte out of town which makes it calm and quiet. In a natural setting with stylish rustic rooms that are very comfortable. The restaurant provides REALLY good local food at very affordable prices. The staff are really good at organising transport and excursions and they organised some great trips for us. The staff are low key but are really efficient and helpful. The hotel is within a short walk of the sun rise and sunset lookouts which are spectacular. Only consideration is that the hotel is built on the side of a steep hill so there are lots of steps. This gives great ocean views so view the hill as a challenge and some exercise.

Super chilled, great value and the dinner was better than the luxury resort next door at a fraction of the price!!

The property was beautiful. The staff were very helpful and nice. The food was delicious, as well.

The property is right on the beach with an amazing view from the bungalows. The food is good and staff are helpful. We had a good time of swimming, snorkelling and take on the views. Guests should have good mobility to go up and down the stairs to/from the bungalows, but the views are worth it.

The view is honestly incredible, but everything Else was awful. Hidden charges, unhelpful staff.

Property staff and location was perfect. Right on the beach and the staff took care of any questions or problems immediately.

Great view of Eden bay!! 👍👍 and the staff will offer any help is need it, book a day trip with the them and it was very professional boat Crue! 👍

Staff were courteous and very helpful. Guest should be warned that most rooms need to be reached through many stairs - equivalent to 12-15 flights of stairs. In hot weather, that is very unpleasant. The road to town is even higher up - perhaps the equivalent of 30 flights of stairs. There is access via motorboat to an adjacent resort, from which taxis can be taken - but that is more expensive.

The manager was kind and willing to help, but the hotel is really in an inconvenient location, far from the center which is a bit complicate to reach ( boat+ taxi or climb up to the road 10 m and then taxi / 150000 idr one way). The beach isn't nice, even if on this island are all like that, even the beach of the Ayana. They could keep it cleaner though. In the morning there is low tide so even to take a small boat you have to walk for a while in the muddy puddles left by the low tide. There are no amenities nearby such as  alternative restaurants or travel agencies to organize tours, so you have to organize them with the hotel with no room for price negotiation. The restaurant isn't great. Food is average. The worst thing is that you only have Wi-Fi at the reception, not in the rooms, for only 3 hs a day from 6 to 9 pm. The architecture of the huts and of the hotel is original and traditional, but the various huts are built up the hill, which means lots of steps to reach the top ones. Initially we were given the 2 top rooms (superior) which have no balcony or patio and the very top one has no proper see view, only from one angle. We booked 2 rooms with balcony, so we asked to change the rooms. They offered 2 connecting family rooms for a surcharge of 200000 idr per room per night ( these are considered deluxe rooms not superior). Despite we complained that we were supposed to get 2 rooms with balconies and see view, we took the family rooms as more suitable for our needs.

Fantastic location, with a wonderful, panoramic view of the bay. Truly awesome. Great snorkeling straight off the beach. very pleasant, helpful and friendly staff. The young man greeting people should be working at a large New York hotel making big money... he's just so good !! Had a small problem with the plumbing - fixed it in no time. Only one negative - if it was my hotel, I'd petition the local council to seal the road leading to the place by land. The property can be reached by boat - OK, but if you happen to be returning by night and it has been raining - it can be a big problem getting there especially as there is no lights along the road. Hey - the Indo elections are just around the corner !!

Loved this hotel and would recommend it. The staff were wonderful and the food was cheap and the menu had lots of choices. I read a lot of negative comments from other guests, but i can't fault my experience.

The hotel-provided access to the town is extremely expensive, for a two day hotel-town transportation provided by the hotel you could have an extra night there. To get to a road you either have to get a water taxi or to climb up lots of steps and a steep path - keep that in mind if you travel with children or have any kind of disability. I would rather call it „bungalows for rent with a reception and restaurant downstairs” than a hotel. The property is maintained well. The staff - extremely helpful. The view - amazing. If it wasn’t for the incredibly high price for the town and airport shuttle, i would probably give ot the highest note.

The amazing view! The cottage very confortable, the young employees so professional. Pascal and Ronald were very helpful and always in a good mood. The only thing difficults : the access. Not for disabled at all. 100 hundreds steps to acceed our room! And far from the City Labuan Bajo.
