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 More

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. More

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

Back from 15 days in Raratonga, what a beautiful Island. Stayed at the Edgewater and was quite disappointed, the hotel has an amazing location, friendly staff, wonderful sunsets and all the makings of so much more but the hotel is tired. It needs money spending on the rooms, the gardens, facilities and please a new pool, certainly not children friendly... More

It's one of Rarotonga's biggest hotel properties and is a great place to stay, work and play. Rooms in the new wing are reasonable modern but are commodious and have a fantastic view of the open sea across the narrow beach to which the balconies open. Internet connectivity in the rooms is an issue but there is a internet cafe... More
