Our room had a horrible smell in it. I couldn’t work out where it was coming from or how it was getting in but anytime the wind picked up outside it wafted in more. It was a kind of mouldy drain sort of smell, not sewage, more like green scummy mould. We didn’t bother to complain as we were only there two nights and only used our room for sleeping but it wasn’t pleasant and had we been there longer I would’ve asked to change rooms.

Most of the staff were incredibly friendly. The guy on reception when we first checked in wasn’t that welcoming, I guess we just hadn’t been used to that while on Cook Islands because everyone else we’d had any dealings with had always been so friendly and helpful.

Location, temperature and staff

the location was nice and close to airport but a little bit far away from other eateries and other nice beaches.

Staff were very friendly and helpful for any requests or questions. Restaurant facilities were great.

Very bad wifi. Same breakfast every day gets boring after day 2. The room is quite old and needs improvement

The resort outer area is good including the garden pool area. The staff is very friendly.

The food here was poor. Breakfast that was included was OK. We tried most of the food items on the bar/restaurant menu and they were below average and were not cheap for the quality. Other places visited in Raro had a lot better food quality and at a more reasonable price.

Location being on the bus route is very convenient. Snorkeling equipment being provided and snorkeling at the front of the hotel were great.

Beds were not very comfortable, food wasn’t as good as it has been in previous trips. Kids club wasn’t very inviting.

Right on the beach, staff are amazing, cocktails great. Clean and lots happening.

Everyone is super friendly, the food and drinks are great, diving right outside the resort and see whales every day. Basic accommodation, but all you need as everything is right here.

The room we had was not worth $460 a night. Booking.com charged $260 and 2 days later it was $360-online. Unbeknown to me Edgewater took $3680 for 8 nights.(460 per night) from my Visa Card. So, why did this happen? Also, next door with a toddler were noisy, at the wrong times.

It was easy to travel around Raro using public bus and the resort's free bus. View of sunset from dining area beautiful. The staff are friendly.

Lack of Airport transfers was a little disappointing. Asked for this but received a reply that I had to give over 72 hours notice. As the only way to get to Rarotonga is by plane, this should be considered as needed by all customers.

Lovely staff and a good quiet room. Close to the lagoon which was great for snorkelling. Loved that snorkel and masks etc are available to use. The buffet dinner and cultural show on Thursday evening was brilliant. Danny was an excellent host/MC and made it fun. Loved that he stuck with Cook Island values and said Grace before the meal.

Did not like the coffee! Always tasted burnt.! The little coffee bars at the market did far better. There was no where to buy an afternoon snack or crisps. That regae concert out in the howling wind was off. Because of that, a number of our group have developed heavy colds, which ruined the last few days.

The room location was brilliant. looking straight onto the lagoon. 1 floor up would have been even greater. Plenty of variety for breakfast, as I am a cereal eater. The dinner was pretty good. Good variety. Although the steak didn't have veg. The outside seating was very good. Nice for the evening cocktail hour. As the sun was setting .

Property very tired, needs an upgrade! Very poor internet in our rooms, Towels need replacing as they are extremely worn. Our room was not as advertised so we had to change rooms which was a lower standard to what we paid for.
