Kia Orana Rod, thank you for posting a review score we so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Meitaki team Edgewater.

5 out of 5
We were a group of 15 ranging from babies to seniors. The Edgewater was perfect for us. Easy to get to from the airport. Rooms were clean and comfortable. We had garden view rooms and had a top floor.one so we could see the pool and the ocean. The gardens were stunning and most probably one of my favourite parks of the resort. The staff were absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful. The food was fine and we particularly enjoyed Spaghetti House. We would definitely stay again.

The person who checked us in was terrible, our room was dirty & tired, needs refurbishment. The milk in our fridge was already open. Our meal at your ‘restaurant’ was also terrible. The staff there were lovely, they were the only good thing about this hotel. Never, ever again

Our room smelt like mould😩 we just stayed the one night. The breakfast wasn’t as good as previously. We have stayed before and had a better room and enjoyed it much more. Staff that greet you are lovely 😊 I would recommend the villas they are much better than the cheaper rooms.
