Vibe Check: Edgewater Hotel, Rarotonga ā June Getaway Our family, jetting in from New Zealand and Australia, had an absolute blast at the Edgewater Hotel in Rarotonga for a week-long 40th birthday celebration in June. This tropical gem is bursting with potential and delivered so many unforgettable moments. Hereās the scoop on our stay! The Absolute Slay: The location is straight-up paradise goals. Nestled right on the waterās edge, the main lounge area serves jaw-dropping sunrise and sunset views that had us snapping pics for the āgram non-stop. Snorkeling out front? Total magic! The vibrant fish put on a show for both kids and adults, making every dip a highlight. This place is a family-friendly haven, with epic activities like fish feeding, cultural events, and kiddo-approved fun that kept everyone buzzing with excitement. The staff are the real rockstarsāwarm, welcoming, and going all out to make our stay special. Plus, breakfast was a vibe with a lineup of fresh, tropical fruit that had us feeling healthy and happy. Room for a Glow-Up: While Edgewater is serving serious tropical charm, itās got a bit of a retro feel that could use a modern refresh. Some rooms and main areas are a tad dated, but the character adds a certain cozy nostalgia. Itās clear this resort has a great location, and with a little TLC, it could easily shine even brighter. A few practical things to note: Breakfast, while boasting those amazing fruit options, keeps it simple with no hot dishes beyond toast and coffee, which might surprise some at this level. Wi-Fi comes at an extra cost (a bit of a 2025 plot twist), and laundry facilities run at $20 NZD for a wash, dry, and powder. Room service also has a $15 NZD fee, so plan accordingly. Dining can feel like a fun gameāordering sides like bacon and eggs ($12 NZD) is way cheaper than the main meal ($22 NZD). Pro tip: Order the Big Breakfast ($39 NZD) but skip the continental part to score just the hot breakfast for $19 NZDātotal money-saving hack! The Final Vibe: Edgewater Hotel is a tropical dream with a stunning beachfront, unreal snorkeling, and a staff thatās pure gold. The fresh fruit at breakfast and family-friendly activities made our trip one for the books. While thereās room for a modern upgrade and some extra fees to navigate, the overall experience was a total win. For families from NZ, Aussie, or anywhere chasing a Rarotongan escape, this spot is a must-visit for creating core memories. Hereās hoping a little spruce-up takes this gem to the next level! Vibe Rating: 3.8/5 Nicholas Everett2025-06-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great friendly team! Always willing to help and the free shuttle service to Club Raro for Happy Hour is great!! Let's be honest! Your not in Rarotonga to hang out in your hotel room, it's clean tidy and offers a great place to sleep rest and relax, sun or rain get your snorkeling gear from the activities hutt and head to the beach! The bus comes on site so you can't miss it, head out and explore the island, do some shopping or check out the local areas.
