Restaurant open until late. Beautiful views right on the water. Good selection of spreads for toast at breakfast. Use of free snorkelling equipment. Good shower pressure.

The breakfast was perfect and we were lucky to see whales whilst eating our morning toast. It would be nice to also have shaved coconut as an option for ontop of the fruit but thats just being picky. The location was the best, close to town and muri where most of our activities were.

Villas with balcony overlooking the beach and lagoon - great location for viewing the magnificent sunsets. Buffet breakfast perfect, plentiful and varied without ordering cooked breakfast. Cocktail happy hour by the pool and overlooking the beach was beautiful.

Room fully serviced once in 8 days could have been better. Could have had body soap in the shower. The room was a little tired. The rest of the resort was lovely really nice food at Mal’s Bar and Spaghetti House staff were really friendly and helpful.

“A good place if you want to met people as largest resort on the island.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children
- • Stayed 2 nights
The receptionist was very relaxed to the point of nonchalant. He gave us a room that was at the furthest point away from the reception and facilities, despite several being available closer. The communal pathways to apartments were dirty, we could not walk in bare feet. Our balcony was covered in grime, could not hang clothes outside and the floor of it was filthy. There was a litre bottle full of cigarette butts left there from the previous tenants. Bathroom a little dated. Our view was of an entire block being reconstructed, couldn't be helped obviously and in my view needed to be done.
Staff were friendly and helpful. The beds were comfy and sheets and inside apartment clean. Good place to watch the rugby. Kids club had some nice activities

That the villa was on the other side of the world, so walking to reception, pool or going to breakfast was a mission at times, one cause I already had a sprained ankle & 2 walking when hung over lol...
That they accommodate for a big group for us to stay together

They offer breakfast that includes breakfast. But the meager cattle meal is awkward. Serve bread, fruit and hot drinks. There is a real breakfast option plus a fee of course.
The location is great. The rooms are large and very clean.

“Memorable, stunning, emotional, few natural places left in the world, then there's The Cook Islands”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 1 night
The Wifi is a costly investment once you get to the island & once paid for you have to be in a hot spot, imagine my surprise having spent on yet another $50 for 3GB (or Edgewater $60 for 2GB :>0) that I couldn't use what I'd bought from BlueSky at the Edgewater. I had to work while I was away for 3.5 wks & that became almost impossible once you invest in wifi you can only use in a hotspot - few & far between places. So it definitely feels like you've been taken advantage of by the big corporate!
The staff were wonderful especially Mini-Rose who was super helpful. The spaghetti restaurant was exceptional in terms of island service & food quality. The cleanliness of the hotel & the accommodation was to a good standard when I was there 9yrs ago & on this visit. The hotel is looking very tired though in general & I thought the offering especially the breakfast area & offering of non-cooked food. I'm vegan & getting hot healthy vegan options was a real challenge which on an island where there is more to offer organically than most places around the world is a real challenge in fact I had to live on chips most of the time as a hot meal - thank goodness for the Spaghetti House!

As I only visited my friends a couple of times while they were staying at The Edgewater, I didn't find anything to complain about. My friends had stayed there before with a large group and really enjoyed their time so that is why we rebooked for them there.
I booked this accommodation for some family friends that I was travelling with. They were very happy with the accommodation and service. I used the shower in their unit one day and felt it could do with an upgrade, however the rest of the hotel was lovely and the location was fabulous.
