I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with friendly staff and a lovely view from my room. However, the rooms felt a bit dated and the service was sometimes interrupted. The location was amazing, right by the beach, which was a highlight. Overall, it was a good experience, though the amenities could use a refresh.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its stunning view of the lagoon. The rooms were spacious and quiet, providing a good level of comfort, but they did have a musty smell upon arrival and could use some renovations. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive, creating a warm atmosphere, but I did find the dining options somewhat lacking, especially for breakfast. Overall, it's a decent place with great potential but needs a few updates and improvements.

I had a pleasant stay overall at this hotel. The location is amazing, right next to the beach, and it offers stunning views. The rooms were basic but served their purpose, however, they're a bit sterile. The staff was friendly and helpful, though the dining options weren't very varied. I also wished for more evening activities and a warmer pool. For the price, it was a decent value, but there were definitely some areas for improvement.

5.0/10

I had a disappointing experience at this hotel, especially with the rooms that were quite uncomfortable and far from the VIP standard they promised. The service at reception could use some improvement, as it wasn't very helpful and often came off as rude. On a positive note, the location was appealingly isolated, perfect for a quieter beach experience away from the crowded resorts. Overall, I wouldn't recommend staying here, and I certainly won't be coming back.

Rooms

The rooms were hard and uncomfortable; we had to switch rooms multiple times due to cleanliness issues and maintenance problems. The final room, labeled as VIP deluxe, was anything but deluxe.

I had a decent stay at Edgewater Hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and really made the experience enjoyable. The location is convenient, especially for public transport and nearby beach activities. However, the room felt a bit sterile and basic. While I enjoyed the meal options at the restaurant, some dishes could use improvement. Overall, it offers good value for money, but it's not without its flaws.
