The Edgewater Resort & Spa
Nothing wrong with the hotel, room or staff but also not particularly inspiring. Spaghetti House was good for supper. Only stayed one night whilst travelling back to the UK. Much better places on Rarotonga if you’re staying longer.

There are quite a few reefs which we enjoyed ...
