It bills itself as "The  top romantic adult sim in sl [and] the most romantic adult island."  Those are some pretty big shoes to fill.  So....does it?

Weeeeeell, yes and no.

On a scale of one to 10 overall I would say....it has great potential!  It's HUGE and gets a point for "fun to explore." The skyboxes are very nice and can be made private!  Some of them (*cough* Victorian Mansion, Egyptian, and Bates Motel - yes, THAT Bates Motel) are creative and unique!  At the very least they are pretty and standard.  The "Solstice" is a fun Druid idea.  And there are many public areas in different themes to choose from.

Unfortunately, the lag is bad.  Also, the main area could use some re-designing as I couldn't find my way around when I landed - in lag hell.  On the upside the staff here is fun, active and available both online and at the landing zone.  When I shouted for help in local Talaluz was absolutely lovely!  She guided me around and waited patiently for my video card to catch up.  And while the noobs are annoying (I did encounter my first griefer), Rails bounced that baddy right outta there!

Finally, I have seen smoother builds and this one could use some polish....but everyone here is a volunteer and frankly their work is not bad at all.

BONUS:  there is a Christmas hunt this year, so you have an "excuse" to go there.  (Rail's Ramblings blog - Lost Eden builder/manager)

Tips:
You might want to check this one out ahead of time, to avoid lag and looking stupid.
1.  When you dock, make your way to the TP Wall at the opposite end.  
2. To the left are signs that will rez the horse for the main sim tour (currently needs to be updated as it gets stuck in walls etc.) and the Swan tour.  The Swan will take you to all the private rooms (pink) that are not in use, and give you a nice introductory chat in local. 
3.  There is no tour for all the public locations (green) but you can manage.  Touch the signs.
4.  You must join the group to use the private rooms.  This costs 100L - and it should!  This is roughly 40 cents USD.  Pony up.
