The food was excellent, the cultural show was great, the waiters were not attentive , we had to find them and ask to order our food but the food was excellent. I guess that is where tipping would give them incentive to try harder.They really don’t expect tipping there.

I loved our stay here. The bed was good, the shower was great. The rooms we stayed in the 900 building could use some updating with the tile and the general appearance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking was a little hard to find at times near the rooms. I wasn’t a fan of the tropical breakfast, I needed some protein so we usually got a hand pie somewhere else after we ate the tropical breakfast.i did order an omelet the first morning but it was a La carte and the onions weren’t cooked through. The property is a nice property with great views and a good beach area. The one activity we did was fun, sarong tying. Lots of chickens running around that’ll wake you up but this could happen at many properties on Rarotonga.

We stayed at the Edgewater in August 2024 as a family with two kids aged 4 and 6. The resort was everything we needed and was close to the airport. The staff were fabulous and welcoming and made our stay super enjoyable. While the resort is a bit dated it met our needs perfectly. Breakfast was nice, great snorkelling right off the beach, cool activities for adults and kids.

If you need a room at a convenient location, this is a pretty good fit. Good snorkeling right in front of the hotel, it is close to an even better snorkeling spot (Aroa beach), and also close to the airport without it being noisy. If you enjoy scuba, a dive shop is within walking distance, it only takes them 10 minutes to drive you to the harbor, and you'll reach your dive site after a 5 minute boat ride. Great views of whales right from the hotel room too. Finally, the restaurant has good vegetarian food. My only critique is that finding potable water is an inconvenience. Sure, you can buy bottled water at the restaurant, but there has to be a better way than single-use plastics. Anyway, this is a difficult problem to solve in such a remote area, and I am sure they will eventually get there.

The chickens running around all over the property mostly in the food area is disgusting, people are not wearing shoes and walking through the chicken poop and spreading it everywhere, The chickens jump on the tables and chase each other and scream at each other, was not hygenic or relaxing.

Well kept facilities and friendly staff around the restaurant and activities areas. But not a welcoming introduction when arriving and lack of information did not help. Also when the room was not topped up with milk in the fridge after requesting for reception to deliver it to the room they expected me to go there and collect it myself. After asking why this had occurred the mentioned that the cleaning staff may have forgotten it, not good enough as an apology would have been better.
