We are a couple in our 50's and my husband is terminally ill. It was our last "fling" so to speak. We absolutely loved Rarotonga and the Edgewater Resort. Everything is right there - the snorkelling, the beautiful views, amazing gardens and clean and tidy rooms. The staff were incredibly efficient and nothing was too much trouble - this ranges... More

Just back from staying at Edgewater Resort 6 nights in a studio apartment, one of the older rooms on the resort, no view but you only had to walk to around the corner and you were at the beautiful beach where we spent most of our time at the resort. Room was clean and tidy, staff were great, would stay... More

We stayed in a 3 bedroom villa, which suited us, very spacious, but thought it was expensive. Had not light in our ensuite for 3 days, very slow in sorting it, the other bathroom was great very large.

Recently returned from a wonderful week at the Edgewater Resort and Spa in Rarotonga. Our room was on the beach front so we had amazing views of the ocean and the fantastic sunsets. We had an upgrade room with sitting area, fridge and plenty of closet space. The bathroom was large and well equipped with a great shower, Jacuzzi tub,... More

We stayed in a Villa with 2 other couples, our shower hose was lying on the floor of the shower due to the hook being broken, air conditioning was working extremely hard to keep the temperature comfortable, unfortunately this was not successful it made a shuttle difference to the lounge area only. Overall a very average experience, the included buffet... More

A large resort with everything that you would expect. Staff were friendly and helpful - Cook Islanders, Filipinos and Fijiians. We had a garden room and it was large, clean and comfortable - with a balcony overlooking a very pleasant tropical garden and sea views to the side. The resort is close to the airport and main town area, with... More

The resort is located right on the beach front and has fantastic views of the sunset, reef and lagoon with good snorkeling out among the fish. Laze the day away with a book on one of the many sun loungers, swim in the pool with the view of... More

What more could one want with a lagoon view room.These are very comfortable units and nice and quite. We had a ground floor unit which was excellent as all was needed to get to the water was to climb over the front divider wall and onto the sand. Sitting in the deck chairs one could just look out to the... More

Better than I expected, thought it's not well set up for business travelers. The wi-fi is quite limited; there is a hotspot in the restaurant/bar area (not always ideal for working) and it reaches to some rooms in the vicinity. I could get it in my room but there was no suitable chair/desk arrangement. The room itself was clean and... More

As an unpretentious family the accommodation was good value for money. The garden superior room was clean, spacious and we did not require extra bells and whistles. The towels and bedding were changed regularly (the daily beach towels were also very convenient). The activity hut had snorkels, flippers, beach shoes. Adult (and older child) activities included weaving, making sarongs, ukulele... More
