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.

4/10 Fair

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 .

Edgewater resort was a great location , nice and quiet, but also easily accessible for a walk on the beach, or food options. Rooms are large (beachfront) and clean, bed was comfortable and the housekeeping staff are fantastic, soo much sand. We hate at both the main restaurant and spaghetti house, both places are great, the main restaurant had amazing lamb shanks. The guest relations team ( Trina especially) went above and beyond for us , I was travelling with my 13yo, she gave us so many great options plus even the odd request was never a problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, or recommend.

A great Resort for families with everything you need there to make it feel like a good holiday. We especially appreciated the Gluten Free Breakfast & also the restaurant having Gluten free options as we have a daughter who has Coeliac Disease. The staff are so friendly & helpful & we took advantage of the kids club who were wonderful with our 3 children that it gave mum & dad a break with no stress or worries. I highly recommend this resort for families who are looking for a holiday on a budget but tickets all the boxes that your having a lovely island holiday.

The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful. The room was dated and there was dirt under the beds. There was also refurbishment occurring in a block of rooms near us that had tile cutters, drills etc starting up at 7am and continued until 8 or 9 at night. The menu had improved but still needs more healthy options. Lots of fried food.

2/10 Poor

Noticed ants crawling in the muesli cereal dispenser so brought it to the chefs attention and he said it was normal and put more muesli in to hide the ants. I told another staff member who was disappointed and growled the chef which the chef told her to shut up, she then removed it. I never ate there again. The last few nights of our stay the pool was out of order which was very disappointing.

Always friendly staff and helpful, thoroughly enjoyed our stay but would ask for a ground level room next time as climbing 3 levels was a little much for older people. Recommend Edgewater to everyone.

My wife and I spent 8 days at Edgewater.we are in our 60s and we were given a room on the second floor.the room was in an area where the adjacent building was being renovated. We were woken up with the sound of hammers,skill saws and music blaring. I have stayed there before and my wife and i will never go back there again.in future i will look at booking my every year visits to the Island directly with the owner of the property.
