Guest reviews for The Edgewater Resort and Spa
The hotel is very tired. We stayed in a Garden Veiw room to start and it was, sorry to say, aweful. The room key wouldn’t work over and over again. The T.V wouldn’t work. The shower could barely fit an adult. It was so old it didn’t feel clean even though it was. The rosters outside woke you in the early hours everyday. We upgraded to a beach front room and it was lovely and our holiday was really enjoyable from that point. Internet is expensive, I would buy a sim and data from the airport. Breakfast is basic but nice. Restaurant food is lovely. Staff are so so, some are lovely some not so much. The beach and snorkeling were great but you have to get in quick for snorkeling gear as they don’t have a lot. The pool is nice but used a lot by non guests so can get very busy. All in all a nice holiday.

Beautiful hotel resort I couldn’t have asked for anything better simple and convenient. It was me and my partners first ever trip away and we loved it. We are definitely going back to the edge water resort at the end of this year. The staff there were so friendly from the cleaners to the restaurant staff. They really made us feel like it was our home away from home.
P.S WE WILL BE BACK BEFORE U KNOW IT.

On arrival we were thrilled to find that we had been upgraded to a Lagoon View room. It was right above the pool and next door to the Function Room so was a little noisy at times but the view way outweighed the noise which was actually happy sounds from children and people being entertained. We didn't visit with children but I would highly recommend The Edgewater as family friendly (which is not easy in Rarotonga) I would suggest some of the rooms having a microwave or something to warm food for babies/children.Overall a great cost effective holiday destination.

Hotel very dated. Rooms bland and can hear other guests through the walls and walking around above if you stay in the rooms below. Hotel staff not engaging at all. Food was ok but drinks expensive. Nice location but very crowded with lots of families so if you want a relaxing time this isn’t the place for you.

Kia Orana - Being one of the most popular resorts on the island, we are having challenges finding a lull in the high occupancy to get in and carry out the refurbishment work that is now really needed especially in the Garden side of the resort. We are pleased to announce that we have found that quiet time - January 2019. We will be gutting out the Lagoon View and Garden Rooms over Jan and Feb to carry out a major refurb. We do hope you will stay in touch as we being in some really nice changes to these rooms
Awesome view at a very friendly Resort heaps to see and do great food and cocktails at the restaurant

Thank yuo for your comments
The staff are great, kids club is awesome and the activity schedule for the resort is great! Facilities are a bit dated and need repair in some places (ie games room and tiles cracked in room). Good meals, fast service and well priced. We would stay again- hopefully the place has a revamp soon? Thanks though guys it was awesome!

Hotel dated and no decent internet access

Not much
Cons:
Internet access and quality of food
Location:
On beach and near airport
Dated but clean but no decent internet access as the hotels expensive internet was patchy at best and expensive. Food in resort expensive and very unhealthy. Left after two days as did not enjoy it and most unsuitable for a business traveler.
