5/5 Excellent

"Great location to airport. Literally right across the road. 3 minute walk. Staff are so lovely. There is a popular bar onsite. Great if you are sociable and intend being in there at night! Rooms are directly behind bar area but didn’t notice it in my room to be honest. Pool is located in the restaurant and never saw anyone swim in it for that reason. Awesome cultural show and dinner on Tuesday nights. Room is spacious and clean. I’d def stay here again on my return "

"The ambience of the Edgewater was amazing. The Activity Hut was great!! The employees were very kind and helpful. The view of the ocean was Spectacular!!! My only concern wss for the amount of animals; chickens getting up on the tables and the amount of dogs. If someone is allergic to animals, it might be a problem. "

"What a special place! We absolutely love our stay here. The owner and his wife did everything possible to make it special and to help us out with all our questions. Elaine is just outstanding at her job and she is the main point of contact - so thoroughly knowledgeable and friendly - all her recommendations were spot on! We could not have asked for a better experience. The design of the villas is really outstanding with enough space between the villas and a smart angled design to ensure quiet and privacy. I wish we could have stayed longer. This place is an excellent value and the massages are excellent, very affordable and 75 minutes long! The restaurant and tapas bar at the end of the pool is outstanding. When we were there they were working on a deck that soon will further enhance the space available to view the ocean while you enjoy a drink and a meal. And then there is the salt water pool. How great is that? Water pumped daily straight from the ocean so no chemicals like chlorine in this pool!!! The coffee place up the street is wonderful. What a great little place to relax. I just hope they have room for the next time we want to come. We have NEVER been happier with any place we have stayed!!!"

ONE OF MY BEST VACATIONS EVER

"The property is quaint does not have all the bells and whistels of resorts, however the location is great and the staff was very helpfull. The price for my stay was very reasonable. I rented a car for my weeks stay, I would suggest that it makes your vacation very enjoyable. The owner Vaiana George and the Fijian lady very helpful. I would reccomend the Hiddem Gem for a budget vacation. "

4/5 Good

Good Location, Ants, Bikes

"Other than all the little ants, which were in the kitchen, in the bathroom, in the living room and on the bed, this was a very nice property. The location was not far off the beaten track, thanks to the availability of the loaner bikes, though they need some serious maintenance."
