The range of activities for guests was great. Service was ok, some orders were slow to arrive. Made 3 requests at the front desk of which 1 was addressed, the other 2, nothing was done. The manager of the resort was very personable. Some staff were friendly, others were there to do a job. The dogs and chickens had an entertainment value, which i loved. Maintenance of the gardens and dining area was good but the accommodation buildings themselves needed some TLC. The balcony handrails weren't as steady as you would hope, and concrete chunks were missing from the pillars between rooms/balcony. We stayed 8 nights with breakfast included and it cost $2777.76 for 2 pax. Suggest the breakfast buffet is mixed up a bit, got a bit blah towards the end, with the exact same food on offer daily. Overall was a great stay and would stay/recommend. In saying that i have no other experience to compare it to.

Excellent short stay at the Edgewater with our 3 year old. Spent most of the time in the pool where our toddler made lots of friends with other kids. Stunning spot to enjoy the sunset. Breakfast was basic but adequate (cereals, breads, fruit) but chaotic and busy. More of a party atmosphere than elsewhere but very enjoyable still.

Our sea view room was perfectly positioned to make the most of the iconic Fijian sunsets. The staff were lovely-very approachable and friendly and always willing to help. The daily continental breakfasts were good. Our room and bathroom were a little tired looking-a lick of paint and a bit of modernising would do wonders. Overall, we were happy. Thanks for the stay.
