Not too far from the airport. Parking spaces barely enough for the time being. If more guests get rental cars then there will be not enough parking spaces right in front of the units. Breakfast is basically vege. No eggs or meat, just fruits, bread and cereals with juice, coffee, tea and milk.

What I liked: The rooms very spacious, convenient, the food was excellent. Experience overall is Excellent. What I didn't like: If only there was sufficient parking closer to the room, saves the long walks for customers who face long walks. Overall enjoyed stay

We stayed at Edgewater and Rarotongan and found that although the property at rarotongan and beach is much nicer the staff at edgewater and food is a lot better especially Peter who was doing activities, he was excellent and went above and beyond to help anyone, him alone would want me to stay there again. Edgewater needs a clean up as it’s pretty outdated compared to other resorts but rooms are a good size and also our room had a bath.
