Lovely stay at the Edgewater. Food was delicious and my primary school aged son loved the kids club. Very helpful and friendly staff and had a lot of laughs watching the crab races on a Thursday at 5pm. Only down side was the walls were quite thin and could hear the guests in the next room talking at normal voices but otherwise fantastic stay

Lovely clean room and really helpful staff. Buffet breakfast was a bit of a let down with just cereal, toast and fruit but everything else was great

This was our second trip to Edgewater, this time staying in a beachfront room with our 2 kids, 6 and 10. We loved the views from our balcony, the facilities, the well maintained gardens and the helpful staff especially our lovely Cleaner. We are already wanting to plan our 3rd stay.

The public bus stopped right at the property, which was very convenient. Good location, not too far from the airport. Packaged our breakfast to go, since we had a very early flight. Lots of activities for families with kids.

Lovely stay at The Edgewater. Fantastic property near town and many cafes and restaurants. Great spot for a sunset happy hour at Mal’s bar. Good value for Raro. We also enjoyed a great afternoon cocktail at their sister property Club Raro which was also a great place.

We enjoyed our stay here as it was within our price range. The free buffet breakfast consists of fruit, cereal, cakes & muffins, yoghurts and bread for toasting along with tea, coffee and juice. It was fine for us but other people were complaining about having to pay for a cooked breakfast. Its a real family friendly resort with lots of children, so we would get the free shuttle bus to Club Raro , no kids and a pool bar. There is a smell of sewerage at the back of the property but it wasn't in the rooms so didn't bother us. Free beach towels to use daily was a bonus

Rooms are good and staff very friendly and helpful. Reception staff more business like but then they are busy . Nothing of note to be negative about . The resort was great with extra activities to go to during the day. The men that sang and played outside at night were very good. Visitors just need to be patient as not everything Food was very tasty and appealing.

This was the third time I have stayed at The Edgewater. It is convenient to both the town and the airport while also being right on the beach. Food was delicious and, for the most of the time, very fast. I would go back again tomorrow with no hesitations.

We've stayed here before which is why we came back. Rooms are immaculate, we had a great view of the ocean and it was lovely and spacious. Breakfast is basic but enough and you can order a cooked add on if you want to for a reasonable price. Cons - parking is sometimes a mission.
