Was ok. Property could do with a microwave and bowls for the room. No powerpoint in the bathroom so shaving and hair straightening wasn’t possible in the bathroom and difficult to do in the main living area. Couldn’t get in room spa to work. Snorkelling not so good out the front. A lot better to head near the Rarotongan for good snorkelling. Kids club was great. View was great from our room. Room was spacious but a bit out dated.

Overall, our stay was nice. The resort had a fan and air conditioning in the rooms, which were tidied up daily. It was pretty easy to navigate. They also had towels and aqua shoes available to borrow. The seating was good, with plenty of spaces to choose from. A few things we didn’t like were the buffet breakfast (off brand-cereals, fruit and toast) I feel like we paid enough to have hot foods or at least a variety rotated (not the same everyday) and most days we bought breakfast elsewhere because of this. There was a lack of feminine hygiene disposal options. The pool closed at 9, which was pretty early in comparison to the bars and restaurants and also didn’t have any time after sunset for adults only. The staff seemed to lose their friendliness if you didn’t have a suitcase alongside you and were either checking in or checking out. The parking was also poor, and wasn’t labeled properly to encourage cars not to overfill the spaces. The driveway in has a drop we’re you’ll scrape your bumper - especially annoying if you’re hiring/renting a car. The resort does not provide wifi, which even when paid for does not have good coverage. The menu they provide was also quite minimal. The shower flooded the bathroom after every use, even if it was only brief. This was one of the nicer resorts to go to, but with the price considered, it could do with some improvements.

We expected more

This will have to be point form as i ran out of room in original write up. Redicilously expensive transport to/from airport. Over $100 NZ for wife and I for a 8 minute ride. Same cost to go anywhere on island. Water in taps not safe to drink. No one told us until we asked and then were initially told yes. They are not. There is a filtered water tap in laundry room. We had to ask about.No bottle of filtered water in room. No free wifi. No netflix on tv. We previously stayed at more budget place in Muri Moto that had free wifi, a bottle of filtered water in fridge, and easy access to the filtered tap. Oh, and Edgewater didnt inform transport company about our pick up. Food mediocre. No shade in pool. Lots of little kids so better for families.

500 plus rooms make it easier to communicate with outside world free wifi or something from A business perspective make sense cost of accommodation and flights should easy cover the cost of wifi. Does not help having to purchase package to check in for your flight and lost luggage and no other way to communicate with the outside world.aprt from that resort good clean workers are grafters. Let me ask do they need to turn the rooms around every day not really every 2 is good

The staff around of resort where friendly and helpful, not so good was the explanation on the need to provide 500 dollars on top of room payment and then the waiting of 5 days for it to be refunded, the other was the 3.5 surge charge every time you pay for something on card . Beach swimming for young’s kids 2/ 4 years old not suitable to steep and rough. Beatiful views . I was in lagoon rooms much nicer then beach access rooms .
