Disappointed

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 27 May 2023
Have stayed here several times before and must say I was disappointed this time. We were in the Nassau block which is quite elderly and well over due for a refurbishment. The floor was fine and clean but the walls and shower area were awful. We were also at the end closest to where the sewerage system is and there was a constant horrible smell.
One could not fault the restaurant the food and staff were excellent.
Date of stay: May 2023
Room Tip: Be aware of which block you are being allocated too!

The accommodation was clean and well-presented. All staff are welcoming and made you feel part of the big Edge Water Resort family. Snorkelling 3 minutes walk from the accommodation can't be beaten. There is a wide range of tropical fish that are friendly because they are fed by the staff. The atmosphere is so relaxing for all ages.
The only situation I would recommend being sorted is there are two clothes washing machines available for staff and guests. There is room for at least 2 more machines which would ease the congestion in the evenings.
Otherwise, this is our first time at Edgewater Resort, and we would be happy to return. Thank you team for a relaxing and wonderful experience.
Meikati.

Hope this NZ-owned business pay employees above the NZ minimum wage for making your brand of services the best. Room 4011 is our fav room now, easy access to el fresco dining, pool & lagoon swimming, even doing laundry is easy, Meitaki Ma’ata

Room tip: Husband tips:Woman can’t learn to unwind in 7 days between heatwaves & gritty sand, we need aircon, maid services, yummy food & sleep-ins.

Thank you for posting your review. We are very fortunate to have an amazing team of staff to work alongside, and it is great to know that you appreciated our "Kia Orana Hospitality", that we are known for. Room 4011 has a perfect location right on the beach and please feel free to request for this room next time you come to Rarotonga as we will try and ensure this request is followed through, subject to availability. The restaurant is a highlight with the great food we have on offer and our cocktail hour that has great cocktail specials from 5pm to 6pm daily. The pool is great for a dip and the lagoon has a large variety of fish to keep you entertained for hours with our crystal clear waters. We do appreciate your review and look forward to seeing you again in the very near future.

Thoroughly enjoyed our extended 9days here... Or we would've been stranded on the island without accommodation. We were part of the first lot of plane cancellations when Auckland airport was flooded out. We were lucky Edgewater was taking in passengers and even had breakfast as complimentary wow how good can this get...

Thank you for posting your great review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the facilities and staff, and stayed with us for 9 nights as an offloaded passenger due to the weather in Auckland. It was a pleasure hosting you and please feel free to visit us again when you are next on Rarotonga. We look forward to welcoming you to our shores in the near future.

Awesome sized room for my family of 4. Our room along with most had a fantastic view of the ocean reef. The kids club is pretty amazing, shame there weren't more kids to help stimulate ours (timings 9-12 13-17 19-21) staff are really attentive in a laid back way, the cook island way. Overall the hotel could do with a Reno but that would probably change the pricing so I'm happy with it.

Thank you for your feedback, we are happy your room was adequate for you and your family while you were staying with us. The ocean view is a highlight for many while staying in the beachfront rooms with the ocean views, watching the sunset in the evenings and a bonus during whale season, with the whales swimming past the resort. Families enjoy the kids club with our friendly team with so many activities to keep your children entertained daily. We look forward to welcoming you to our shores in the very near furture.

My experience was fab!

Great service from the team, they are all super friendly and helpful. The optional activities are free, fun and available most times. Pampering services were really relaxing and the body loves it. The food was great, especially the donuts the do in the morning! Night swims in the pool were definitely a highlight, cocktails next to the pool were also amazing. My room was 3715 0r 3175 haha highly recommend that room, great ocean view, semi private and the jacuzzi was a vibe, the room service was really good too.

Would definitely stay again.

Thank you for posting your review. We will be sure to advise our staff of your great comments and we take pride of our team and their great island hospitality. The daily activities and kids club are a highlight for everyone including swimming. While being on holiday why not enjoy some pampering at our spa to relax the mind and body. Our beachfront rooms have exceptional views and when the sun is setting in the evenings and whales swimming by throughout whale season this is such a wonderful experience. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.
