My wife and I spent 8 days at Edgewater.we are in our 60s and we were given a room on the second floor.the room was in an area where the adjacent building was being renovated. We were woken up with the sound of hammers,skill saws and music blaring. I have stayed there before and my wife and i will never go back there again.in future i will look at booking my every year visits to the Island directly with the owner of the property.

Snorkelling in the marine park right on the doorstep to the resort. The water was so warm and crystal clear. Towels, snorkels, reef shoes all available on loan, so we didn’t need to bring. Continental breakfast included for all guests- sitting by the pool or lagoon with palm trees swaying. Truly paradise.

This resort is amazing. The price is perfect for what you get. The staff are so friendly and the beachfront rooms are unbelievable. The lagoon is great for swimming and snorkelling and you can walk between resorts in the area. Would definitely recommend this resort and we would definitely stay again next time we visit.

Broken sliding door on ground floor unit.
We stayed one night and the sliding door on our ground floor room had a broken lock. Could not secure valuables or feel safe. The front desk said they would send someone to fix it. The guy brought a thin bamboo stick that he broke on his knee which did not secure the door. Front desk said that since we were only staying one night they would not give us another room, even though we had not used the room. We noticed the broken sliding door as soon as we left called in the room and notified them. Horrible experience.
