the entire resort is aged and needs a preventative maintence schedule in place, we had water leaking in the bathroom roof , we then had to move rooms after the issue couldnt be resolved .. in the next room tv didnt work and the door handle fell off the balcony door which then left our room unlockable for a 12 hour period .. until i complained again . I felt that we were reporting issues twice daily throughout our stay

The resort was OK but needs an overhaul as everything just felt a bit dated and tired. There are around 300 rooms but only one small pool. There weren't too many places to just sit and relax. There is only a handful of restaurants within walking distance and they were just OK. Staff were friendly but our traveling companions had issues either their room and it took a while to have it sorted. The worst thing though was the f***ing roosters at all hours. Earplugs or nose cancelling headphones are a must. Unlikely to travel to Cook Islands again but if I did, I wouldn't stay here.

Property was a bit dated but rooms comfortable enough. The housekeeping and reception staff were lovely but those around restaurant and pool not so, they were unfriendly, often bickering among themselves. Families around the pool were moved 230-3pm for dinner set up. There are no other options of places to sit to watch your children apart from on the other side on the sand. Not safe. The resort is in a great place good snorkeling out front and kods club was good.

Overall we enjoyed our stay at Edgewater Resort. Free continental breakfast was good and there are plenty of options available on the menu in the main dining area. Staff are very friendly and make you very welcome. One thing I need to mention and although not a negative feature for us but worth noting- we had the Garden View room and were visited by a few local critters during our stay, mainly a couple of geckos and a centipede. Also several roosters roaming around the resort so need to bring an alarm clock!

Get a waterfront room. Sunset is magic!

Great location as it is less then 10 minutes to airport and town proper, Breakfast is ok , pricesare a little expensive for the quality of food and drink on offer, It is getting older now and needs a tidy up but its a good solid hotel to use as your base. Make sure you get a waterfront room. Sunset is magic
