Big resort on Western coast
Big resort with restaurant, bar, pool and other facilities. Gardens are scrupulously looked after. Staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. The pool was closed for a few days because guests (or parents of guests) cannot behave properly. The beach is a great plus.

Loved the People working there as the Service was 2nd to none - so friendly and accomodating. Our room - was always cleaned to perfection. It took a while getting used to the Roosters crowing strange hours of the night though … but of course that’s all part of the experience. Thanks Edgewater.

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.
