We went to Rarotonga for our honeymoon, and stayed here at Edgewater. Very nice staff, rooms are nice and tidy. Island nights show is good too, and very handy having scooter hire on site! (Scooter is best way to get around) lovely to wake up in morning and see staff raking the beachfront and singing etc. Only downside is i... More

My daughters and I spent a week at The Edgewater and had a very relaxing time. The room was very clean and tidy and we had a beautiful ocean view from our balcony. The rooms were serviced daily with lovely fresh towels every morning. The breakfast every morning was fine - a bit more variety would have been great, however... More

The Edgewater Resort has a great atmosphere, good facilities and friendly staff. Like many other Kiwis Rarotonga is a home away from home for our family. We've been coming here for years. We like staying on this side of the island as it is sheltered from the Trade Winds that whip through Muri and the north eastern reaches of the... More

Why did we stay here a second time? During our previous stay we travelled quite a bit around the island and visited many resorts and found the Edgewater to be the least pretentious, the most relaxed and with a great outdoor bar area. We like meeting people and found that there were always plenty of people milling around - not... More

stayed here for 8 days. We had a beachfront unit that was spacious and clean. the bed was comfy and the air con and fan were quiet. The staff were helpful and the cocktail happy hour between 5 and 6 is worth going to for the $10 cocktails. Meals were generally pretty good. The roadhouse just along the road is... More

Could not fault this hotel. From the email contact we had prior to arriving through to checkout after 6 nights, everything was efficient.Very friendly and helpful staff. Great room, impeccably clean and well cared for which extended to the whole resort. We would definately stay there again

probably a great place if you have wee kids. Have to say for the price i was really disappointed. Apparently some rooms have been renovated - not ours. Room was dark but tidy. Dishes didn't get taken away, just rinsed in the basin! Gardens were lovely, snorkelling incredible but the palce really needs a spruce up.

This hotel is set in a great resort. The only downside is that it needs revamping. The rooms are tired, but the beds very comfy, the size of rooms very large and bathrooms great. The views are amazing (I was in Aitutaki block). The food is excellent and not too pricey for a hotel. I only stayed two nights here... More

The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for us, the food was delicious (quite pricey though), and the resort's facilities were nice. And the views from the buildings on the water's edge are incredible! However, the beach is really only good for snorkeling and I'd advise taking booties as the corals are sharp and the lagoon is filled with... More
