Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The Lagoon room was so scenic and relaxing. Sleeping with the sound of the ocean is so soothing and the view like no other. It is close to all amenities. Loved the whole complex! Enjoyed the relaxing spaces, places, views, kai and facilities. Will definitely be back!!!

Room was clean and staff were friendly but the accomodation is tired and some areas need an update. Simple things like the hairdryer holder coming off the wall and the vanity looked like it was going to come off the wall at anytime. I did like the fact they had activities in the resort but there was no advertisement for anything outside the resort. No pamphlets or information in rooms about boat tours or other island activities, it felt like you just had to know what was avaliable to book. Reception staff were great when my shuttle to the airport was late and they contacted the company, who realised they had forgotten to pick me up so sent another shuttle. Edgewater not responsible for shuttle but helped when it didn't turn up.

We stayed in the old blocks ,810, and 1007 , very very tired, heat pump filters - 810 was clean, 1007 was disgusting , , 1007 wasn’t as tired as 810, if you can afford pay for the superior garden room , I would if we went again, apart from that food was pretty good , drinks coke, water etc were expensive, However they were 600ml bottles, cocktails were great at happy hour , pay with cash as there is a surcharge for credit cards, , Snorkelling out the front was pretty good , we walked up a bit and then floated back down towards the resort, our child is 8 and very confident in the water , there are other resorts with less coal to navigate around for younger kids, however due to this there were heaps more fish at the Edgewater , our child liked the kids club and we found this great to get a few hours of parent time, It is very busy at breakfast, we were there at the NZ school holidays We didn’t have a dinner there. Others that we were with did and they said it was good , and they also went to the “show” and said it was good value for money We would stay again 😊 in a better room 👍

I have been to the edgewater 8 years ago and the rooms were looking very tired now. We requested for a group of 10 to be together on the ground floor and to have three beds in my room as we were 3 ladies together. So what we got was 3 beds in an upstairs room and not all together. This was put right after night 2 of our 5 night trip. The furst mornjng we were woken from 2am 3am 4.30 by the rooster crowing outside our block and this continued most of the nights. After saying all this the food was excellant and the cocktails were great remember happy hour 5-6pm and their activities programme is varied

The Edgewater is a lovely family resort with great staff and facilities, and cycle scooter and car hire nearby. The bus stops at the resort and it's an easy bus trip to anywhere. We just had our third holiday here and had a great time. The room was clean and well maintained, with great views out across the lagoon.
