Delicious Poolside Treats

During my stay, I enjoyed the good food service around the pool and beach area. The quesadillas at Sunset Bar were a particular favorite, and having drinks delivered while lounging by the water was a luxurious touch. The outdoor dining experience was simply fantastic!

Wonderful Relaxation and Beauty

The spa facilities provided a relaxing sanctuary, although my massage was less than stellar. Despite that, the overall leisure ambiance and the opportunity for a moonlight swim in the Long Island Sound were the highlights of my trip. I happily spent my evenings unwinding on the private beach.

Ideal for Meetings

I attended a business gathering here, and the meeting facilities were great. Everything was well organized, and we had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful grounds between sessions. It was a refreshing environment for collaboration, and I can't wait to return for future meetings.

Comfortable and Homey

The room I stayed in was spacious and well equipped, featuring a lovely window seat area. I appreciated having a refrigerator, which made life a little easier. While not every room has ocean views, the comfort of my suite made it feel like a home away from home.

My experience at Water's Edge Resort was mixed. While I appreciated the beautiful landscaping and proximity to the beach, my stay was marred by some serious issues including a lack of response regarding lost items. The pricing felt high for the quality of service received, and the dining options, while varied, didn't always impress.

The hotel boasts a beautiful setting with manicured grounds and clean, well-maintained rooms. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, with several items lacking and slow service. The beach area felt overcrowded, and the overall value for the price paid was disappointing.

My stay at Water's Edge Resort & Spa was quite enjoyable, thanks to the accommodating staff and the beautiful surroundings. The proximity to the beach was a major highlight, allowing for relaxing evenings by the water. However, I found the dining experience, especially at the restaurant, to be lacking in quality, which was disappointing given the lovely setting. The ocean view was also not what I expected, overshadowed by some trees and nearby buildings.

Rooms

The room size was generous, but the ocean view was partially obstructed, which was a bit disappointing.

6.4/10

My wife and I decided to spend Valentine's Day at The Waters Edge Resort, drawn in by its fantastic location by the water. While our standard queen room was clean and comfortable, we found it to be quite basic for the price. The service, particularly at the bar, was frustratingly slow and inattentive, which dulled the experience. However, the pleasant pool area and helpful staff we encountered elsewhere made up for some of the issues. We'll be returning for a wedding in July, hoping for better service next time.

6.2/10

Our stay at the resort was a mixed bag. The location offered a stunning waterfront view and our two-bedroom villa room was spacious and comfortable. However, the high price felt unjustifiable, especially given the limited amenities available during our visit. The dining experience at the Italian restaurant left much to be desired, as the quality of the food undermined our overall experience.

Rooms

The waterfront two-bedroom villa was spacious and comfortable, but I felt it was overpriced for the time of year.

Location

The property boasts a beautiful waterfront location that's truly a highlight, allowing for a relaxing atmosphere.

Dining

Dining at the Italian restaurant was disappointing; the food lacked quality, and felt like it was thrown together at the end of the night.
