The Edgewater Resort & Spa

4/10 Poor
"The breakfast was not what I would expect from a resort to then have to pay for a cooked meal is outrageous. And it wasn’t even nice. Food is below average. Our room The first night was terrible stink of damp and the floors were wet from the damp. There were renovations on the side of our room and the area where to go to our room was un safe. Making it a hazard. I asked to change rooms as we had a child who suffers from asthma. The staff were accomodating and very helpful all the staff are ki d helpful and respectful. The resort itself needs improvements especially when your advertising that your a resort very old and needs up grading. Towels are old and tattered. I won’t be coming back to Edgewater resort. "
