Edgewater resort was a great location , nice and quiet, but also easily accessible for a walk on the beach, or food options. Rooms are large (beachfront) and clean, bed was comfortable and the housekeeping staff are fantastic, soo much sand. We hate at both the main restaurant and spaghetti house, both places are great, the main restaurant had amazing lamb shanks. The guest relations team ( Trina especially) went above and beyond for us , I was travelling with my 13yo, she gave us so many great options plus even the odd request was never a problem. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again, or recommend.

A great Resort for families with everything you need there to make it feel like a good holiday. We especially appreciated the Gluten Free Breakfast & also the restaurant having Gluten free options as we have a daughter who has Coeliac Disease. The staff are so friendly & helpful & we took advantage of the kids club who were wonderful with our 3 children that it gave mum & dad a break with no stress or worries. I highly recommend this resort for families who are looking for a holiday on a budget but tickets all the boxes that your having a lovely island holiday.

The staff were amazing. Very friendly and helpful. The room was dated and there was dirt under the beds. There was also refurbishment occurring in a block of rooms near us that had tile cutters, drills etc starting up at 7am and continued until 8 or 9 at night. The menu had improved but still needs more healthy options. Lots of fried food.

Noticed ants crawling in the muesli cereal dispenser so brought it to the chefs attention and he said it was normal and put more muesli in to hide the ants. I told another staff member who was disappointed and growled the chef which the chef told her to shut up, she then removed it. I never ate there again. The last few nights of our stay the pool was out of order which was very disappointing.

Always friendly staff and helpful, thoroughly enjoyed our stay but would ask for a ground level room next time as climbing 3 levels was a little much for older people. Recommend Edgewater to everyone.

Everything about the edgewater is basic and average. It feels like theyre putting more money into building more villas when they should be putting more money into customer experience and maintainence of the property. Pros: The staff were generally really friendly and welcoming Lots of daily activities available, free use of snorkelling gear and reef shoes. Although no kayak or paddle board hire as compared to other resorts we visited. The food and drinks at the restaurant was pretty good Cons: Our room was musty, the door was broken, shower pressure was non existence and felt grimy. There is no free wifi available, you have to pay for wifi. Breakfast was really disappointing. You have to pay for a hot breakfast. All that is on offer is cereal, yogurt, fruit, fruit juice and toast. The beach is quite choppy and rough compared to other parts of the island.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Resort. Most of the amenities and activities at the Resort were available and accessible but parking seems to be a problem. Food was good but we waited nearly an hour and a half for our meal at Spaghetti House. Most of the staff were friendly and helpful. We liked where our room was. However, it appears that the the room needs modernizing or updating. The TV was not user friendly, and we had to phone for assistance twice. Just a note, on the second call, the staff member at reception was rude because he kept interrupting me while I was trying to explain the issue, poor customer service in my view. The cooling system on the air-conditioned unit stopped working after the 3rd day, which was frustrating because it was very hot and humid, and the fan can only so much. The disappointing thing about it was trying to get assistance to address it promptly. Our first call to reception led to a maintenance staff member attending to the issue. He claimed it was fixed but it wasn't. To be honest it appeared that he didn't know what he was doing and really didn't want to be there. We called reception a second time a couple day's later and was told they will send someone but no one turned up. The matter was finally addressed by a different person 2 days later after our third call but it was nearing our time to leave. So some positives and some negatives to work on.
