Anthony & Michelle were the best hosts, nothing was to much trouble, excellent service. My husband Shane & I have been to Waters Edge for the last 6 years with friends. Excellent rooms, close to everything. Why go anywhere else. All of us have booked for August 2024. Thanks again Heather, Shane and friends.
Start with positives, clean rooms (inside) location right on the beach, wifi works well, communication about our deluxe room not being suitable for booking with pet The negatives paid for a premium ocean room upfront for 4 nights and was assured on phone would be swapped out for a similar standard as had a small dog, what we got was a room straight out of the 80s, a family room with 3 beds no less. When we queried it, was told this is our best option as other rooms were literally just a bed, and much smaller. Ok, we thought not ideal and felt a bit ripped off, but our choice was to travel with our dog so ok work with it. Then the real crap started, our room was right next door to a kitchen of a busy restaurant, the restaurant used external ( I hope temporary ) refrigeration that was you guessed it parked outside our room. On one side of our door old boxes and other restaurant clutter, the other a compressor going off attached to a refrigerated trailer (one of 2). Then the poor staff had to walk past the room window over 80 times (we counted one night) each time 2 doors creaking and slamming to get provisions, this would go on until approx 11:30pm every night. The real fun was renovations in the same restaurant starting with drills at 7am, but it was okay as the mattresses (remember we had 3 beds for us both) kept us awake anyhow, as they were as old as the 80s decor and went some way to keeping a 30-year-old marriage in form, as we rolled towards each others embrace at every opportunity in the pit that I think was the middle. We left a day early tempted to give the room away but figured why share the misery? I wouldn't normally write a review as having worked in tourism and owned tourism businesses, I know it can sometimes be a bit hard to get things right, but having had a chat 3 times felt compelled as they simply couldn't give a shiiiite, offered no partial refund nor even a 10% dinner discount. Citing you used *********** smile bs more smiles, more bs can't do anything *BS did I mention work in tourism Up ya game, I won't even mention how the pool looked compared to marketing photos, makes me laugh too much, if I was so sleep deprived I would bother to upload photos.
Apartment was clean, bed was king size which was good but only had 2 pillows total (no spares in the cupboard). Fold out bed sofa was uncomfortable. Bathroom was clean and practical, good pressure in the shower. Kitchen good but a small tv in bedroom would have been nice. Little pricey as it world champs ‘run the reef’ which we didn’t know about when we booked !

The location is right on the strand of the beach. The sunset is very beautiful at dusk. It is also very convenient to go to the coffee shop to the supermarket and walk for 10 minutes. Buy all the daily necessities and sit on the terrace to watch the sunset until dusk, which is pleasing to the eyes.
As for the service, there is basically nothing except Check In. It's not like living in a hotel in the Asia-Pacific region, with five-star service
In terms of price, in terms of 1000 heads, it does not include anything. It is really because there is no choice.
We initially stayed for one night, but found it to be soo nice that we extended our stay for a few more days. We found especially the staff to be very nice and helpful but enjoyed the entire place. On our 6 week vacation this place has the best price value ratio soo far. We 10/10 recommend.
lovely views and a contemporary aesthetic. lots of parking spaces. I enjoy that it's not crowded. The food was good. The Asian staff was polite and made an effort to provide a customer-focused attitude. The majority of the workers are backpackers, so they are not particularly formal—they don't smile or greet others, they just stand and talk—and the place doesn't look like a five-star hotel. There was still hair on the floor and the room was a little dusty . Nothing special, simply an overnight stay.
Excellent
