The Edgewater Resort & Spa

8/10 Good
"We've stayed here before which is why we came back. Rooms are immaculate, we had a great view of the ocean and it was lovely and spacious. Breakfast is basic but enough and you can order a cooked add on if you want to for a reasonable price. Cons - parking is sometimes a mission."
