The Edgewater Resort & Spa
"The staff were very helpful and bar was excellent. The 3 bedroom villa we had was quite tidy but on closer inspection was quite dirty, a lot of dust, sand and grim on floors behind and under beds. Air conditioning unit in the bedroom didn’t really work. Water filter in kitchen was loose."
