The Edgewater Resort & Spa

The Edgewater Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing location! Staff were friendly and helpful wherever I went on the property. Room was really big, so had more than enough space. The room and bathroom were both impeccably clean, and the air con was a blessing! The beach was just down a few steps from the pool/restaurant. The local bus, both directions, stops right at reception. "
