Top Rarotonga Intl. Hotel Reviews

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We had a fantastic 10 days at The Edgewater, staying in a Garden Villa as a family of four. The villa was spacious, comfortable and perfect for our family. The resort has such a welcoming, laid-back island atmosphere, and the staff were absolutely wonderful: warm, friendly and always happy to help. We loved the beautiful grounds, easy access to the beach, pool and resort facilities, and there was plenty for the whole family to enjoy. A wonderful base for our stay in Rarotonga. We made some very special family memories here and would happily stay again. Meitaki ma'ata to the Edgewater team! 🌺🏝️"
