The staff are beyond excellent. A reason we would stay here again. The room itself was only okay. The noise level was a lot, as the rooms had paper thin walls. If you aren’t used to screaming children, be prepared to be a part of the family!

We had a lagoon room - which was awesome! Amazing views. Well worth the extra $$. The room was basic - but clean. Breakfast was good - you could order cooked breakfast/coffees at an extra cost if you wanted. Food in general restaurant was good. Also ate at the Spahetti house - service was excellent and food was great. Plenty going on! Pool was awesome for our 12year old to play in - busy at times, but that's to be expected as its a large resort! Staff were great too!

We did very much enjoy our stay at the Edgewater Resort. Only thing we found is its a little dated. A couple of our rooms ranch sliders didn't lock. Would have been great if there was a little playground for the under 3s, a toddler end of the pool to just splash in and couple of Toddler swings otherwise it was great. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Good place to stay.

The lagoon view room was very good and worth the extra cost. It was far superior to the outlook from the predominant garden view rooms. Some ambiguity as to the suitability of the water for drinking - we had no problem though. The shower flooded out into the bathroom and needed a towel dam to control it. Great food selection, good bar and service, adequate breakfast, great setting and outdoor restaurant/bar area. Terrific staff. Rarotonga is a very nice holiday destination.
