Place was nice and a good location! Women at the front desk were lovely and very helpful! The apartment beds were a little too firm, our laundry machine was broken throughout our stay (we were counting on using it), and our shower toiletries were empty on the first day until we asked for more. Would recommend for a good place with a good location, but certainly not luxurious!

We had an amazing stay at Waters Edge! The location was perfect, an easy 4 min walk (walking with young children) to the shops, grocery store and about 8 minutes to the lagoon. The resort is at the bottom of a steep hill and we were thankful we didn’t have to walk up it! The folks at the front desk were very helpful and friendly. The room itself was clean and comfortable. The pools were beautiful and thoroughly enjoyed!

First, the good. The receptionist with the blond curly hair was really friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The bad….the room was really dated. Separate of the the couch smelled really bad and the seat sank like there was no support. The pool area was really bug friendly. Maybe thats not their fault. Unfortunately the elevator didn’t work when i was there and I had a hard time getting to my floor as the emergency stairwell had floor 2 locked from the inside.
