We love the vibe at the Edgewater. Close to town, airport and restaurants. Transport via bus or care hire available. Staff are super friendly. Fabulous spa too. Recent pool and room renovations leave the place looking refreshed. Great for couples or families and groups.

Their ad on the Expedia site said there was a swimming pool and showed a picture which was lovely. When I checked in, they told me the pool was in repair and they had a temporary stand up small little area. I have medical conditions and I need to have a swimming pool for stretching. I could not stay there… They promised me a refund in total within one week I should have it… But as of today which is one week I do not have it. They also took me to a Sister company owned by the same people and I couldn’t stay there either. Their swimming pool Was so small and so crowded with people and I was warned that at 10 o’clock that if the noise was continuing, I should go to the front desk and complain. I checked out of there and found another hotel. and it was perfect… I am still waiting on my refund , if it shows up, I’ll be glad to change Review…

What a wonderful place to stay, close to most activities around the Island. Staff are friendly, helpful and nothing seems to much for them. Safe swimming beach is 2 minutes from your room, what more could you want. Highly recommend and we will definately be going back, only this time for much longer. Thank you Edgewater staff.

Cheap & cheerful. A little bit run down and shabby, but I think that is reflected in the price. Staff were great. Cooked breakfast was very average.
