Water's Edge Resort & Spa Review

We were in one of the ballrooms for a prom. The food was alright, the venue was very beautiful. Down by the water was nice, there was a wedding there that was nice.

Great luxary resort. Highly recommended if you can afford it or find a good deal.

A great place 2 visit. Everything you need 2 have a good time is right there on the grounds. Great food, shows, Had 1 hell of a time at the Elton John dinner show. Live entertainment every night there in the Bistro lounge. Appetizers & dinner if you choose. And an Sunday brunch like you've never had before Next door to the Bistro lounge. With an ocean front water view. Highly recommended.

This place is absolutely gorgeous, a beautiful view right on the water, and an amazing venue for the wedding reception I attended. Friendly staff, and overall enjoyable environment. Loved it!

My fiance and I have come here on the same day for the past few years and made it an annual tradition. The lobby and entry way are always well decorated and beautiful for the holiday season, the folks at the front desk are nice and helpful as well.
Our room viewed the ocean which was lovely and even had a nice jacuzzi in the bathroom. I'd say the rooms are slightly dated and perhaps a bit tired, but it's still a great location. The room and bathroom are very clean and the resort does a good job of keeping the common areas clean as well.
The prices are higher but you are right on the water with amazing access to the beach area. I'd recommend a stay, even during the winter months!

Great venue for a high school prom. Awesome staff! Great views of LI Sound!

Raised up open stunning views of water and beyond. Brunch was outstanding, quantity and high quality food.

Beautiful views and friendly staff. Food is good not to die for but the grounds are stunning. Can see long island on a clear day! Great place for an event like a wedding.

My wife and I went to their NYE party with the overnight package. It s more an older crowd we are 30 and went to celebrate our first NYE as a married couple. They staged the cocktail party really well spreading out bars over 3 rooms. If you want a more intimate dinner seating ask to sit at couple rather than in the ballroom as a group table. It was pricey for us but all inclusive and no driving, plus brunch the next day.

I was spending my time at the salon, but overall I have had great experiences at Water's Edge.

I attended the bridal show. It was well planned with knowledgeable employees and a variety of vendors.

Fantastic views....then all down hill from there. Martini in plastic glass, Chicken sandwich and wedge salad both 1 out of 5, flies and bees everywhere, kids on the dance floor, no happy hour specials. Should I say more?

The ocean view rooms have an awesome view of Long Island Sound. Our room had a little deck with a pair of chairs looking out over the ocean. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Had a wonderful stay at the Water's Edge. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff was courteous and helpful. The meal at the Italian restaurant was good. Portions were a bit small given the price. The breakfast buffet was well stocked. The coffee shop with Starbucks coffee was super convenient. Wish we had time to check out the spa.

I went there for a Fortieth wedding anniversary the food was good the service was outstanding they wouldn't let us bring our own cake in in the CAKE They had was absolute disgusting I wouldn't give it to my dog and I don't have one

Nice place, plenty to do, staff has been fantastic. Will come again for sure.

Sub-par spa experience. The services were so-so. The amenities were average. Front desk service had much to be desired. I will add, though, that management was eager to find a solution...much appreciated.

Great brunch-best around. Recent renovation looks great.

We only stayed one night, but what a beautiful place.

Went to the Eagles tribute concert on July 5th. Nice setting. Great show despite some early technical issues. All you can eat buffet was, at 29.95 plus gratuity, a total ripoff. Food ranged from mediocre (chicken and ribs) to inedible (steam table hamburgers and hot dogs). Eight dollars for a draft beer in a plastic cup. You would be well advised to have a bite somewhere else before the concert.

Loved it. Stayed in bldg 7 RM 722. Kitchen,living room, queen bed, loft upstairs with two twin beds. It was spotless.

Our company just held a small, regional meeting and lunch here. It was a lovely experience, they have rooms/space for exactly this need. Staff is attentive and friendly. The food is delicious and there are options for alternate menus. We will be back again if the need arises.

We are staying here for the week and looked forward to lobster night. We arrive an hour after it starts and they were sold out. I order the football special wings for $5, and get 5 wings! Are you kidding me?! The bar staff was more worried about cleaning up to get out early than serving the guests, I therefore left much earlier and drank much less than I would have otherwise. It's amazing how that one night can taint your entire week. Up until this the staff and place have been great.
The rest of the staff we met redeemed the place. Thanks Denise, Deb, and Derek!

Their restaurant is excellent the attention also the prices are good. I love this place for special dinners

We went to the Bistro for a Christmas lunch and it did not disappoint. The menu was reasonable and delicious, the view was amazing, and the service was full of joy and Christmas cheer

Great place always been there for Vista Life Innovations

Very good spa - massage experience. Jessica - you rock! Hoped for a walk on the beach - little too small for that. Views still great.

Went to this place for a conference. Beautiful views but took some time to get responses on things.

Fantastic service, excellent location near the ocean.

Nice view and atmosphere. Very expensive and very little portions

This place is amazing! Saw 4 weddings in two days here, such a wonderful venue to start married life and share with your friends and family. Staff is so welcoming and so friendly.

Service at the beautiful resort is always professional and enjoyable.

What an absolutely wonderful place to go to get taken care of relaxed and de-stress from a long hard year. The food was wonderful the atmosphere was wonderful the place was just beautiful to be in its in a lovely little Community where there's all kinds of great little shops to explore. And it's so easy to get to I don't know why I haven't been there before. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a weekend getaway without having to go too far.

the hotel the facilities are very nice, but since it comes to resection and they notice that you are Hispanic the deals are deteriorating, going from a smile and laughter with the client before you to attitude and desperative manner

Very pretty resort.. Worked an event and had a fun time

Skip the lobster rolls and indulge in the breakfast. Their omelettes and french toast are sensational!

Beautiful facilities - Beach, spa, pool, hot tub, restaurant... Amazing! Rooms are a little old fashioned but quaint.

Did not have chocolate strawberry and no chocolate cherrys

Great location, clean rooms, polite staff. I would stay here again!

Nice spa and employees. Locker room layout is poor and crowded with just 3 or more people. Spa is located upstairs off the lobby and is not well-marked. Ask someone to help you. Treatment room was nice as was mani/pedi room. Felt both women giving services were knowledgeable. This is not a quickie spa with staff right out of training school.

Attended a fall wedding there. Very beautiful grounds and interior. Waitstaff was very friendly and the food was excellent. Great views of the LI Sound as well.

This was our third time staying at Water's Edge Resort. It is always clean and well kept and we enjoyed our stay!

A Great View On The Water.Looking For Place To Visit Or Stay Over,This Is The Best Shore Destination.Always Feel Like I Am A Resort.A Must Visit During The Summer.There New Patio And Bar Area Is The Best.

The beach is really nice. Being able to walk to the island during low tide is fun.

Went twice last year because I have the best boyfriend ever!!!

So expensive, very bad customer service.. the food quality at the bar really sucks..

We attended a wedding at waters edge resort. The venue is beautiful and the food we excellent.

Really nice resort. The rooms are nicely updated. Not super modern but very nice especially for the beach. The grounds are very well maintained and there is lots of grass and plants leading down tot eh small beach area. Very picturesque.

This is a hidden gem. Enjoyed the location, great view of long island soind, grounds are well maintained and the food is great. I recommend the Sunday brunch.

Nice beach hotel supplied chairs, umbrella & towels. Bar service very nice staff

I was here for a wedding and it was very nice. The food was good,but the staff seemed uncoordinated when serving food and drinks.

Terrible receptionists and booking services by extremely rude staff members! Never will come back or recommend anyone booking a reservation here! However the hotel desk manager was a saviour and more than accommodating fixing his staff s errors, however not all of his rectifications went to plan and I was still over an hour late for my wedding and almost didn t get married.

Love the staff inside !! When they hire the kids for the outside areas food and bar that tends to get really slow for service waiting for a very long time . The outside view is nice, hotel rooms, and brunch is good! Inside bar staff is Great! The other real problem is the outdated inside locker rooms, pool, hot tub, and workout area. Needs a major overhaul. Just blah the concrete could use some power washing and just needs to be updated . Not what you think for that kind of establishment.

Very nice atmosphere. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely on the expensive side though. $60 per person with tip. I thought there could have been more options for vegans. No grilled vegetables? Also the dessert table could have had more options. Ice cream next year?

Beautiful location. Excellent selection for Thanksgiving brunch

Service was slow, I was also told I could not order room service due to a private function yet I was a guest for 3 nights

Stayed there twice for a small conference. Great rooms and food. Bar is great in the evening. Right near the water with a nice beach!

Mother's Day buffet. Amy was a terrific server
Very attentive to all her tables. Buffet seemed a little mass produced, guessing the high number of customers. Did have a wonderful fresh made omelet and terrific crepes.

Tremendous views. Lack of ovens in the rooms is a deal breaker. Excellent restaurant and wonderful staff.

The food was very good. The view of the water was lovely. We attended a wedding there. The staff was courteous and did a good job. The grounds of the property are beautiful.

I love this relaxing oasis..We visit once a year Top notch housekeeping and very honest I left my leather tote there and they not only returned that but the shampoo..hairspray and umbrella I left behind..they fed-ex it within 5 days received it-Thank You! Food and evening Entertainment excellent..Just check -in Hiccup they should offer early check In..At least have a few rooms available coming in from other States and airport delays it would be nice the opportunity to check in earlier without aggravation .

Only stopped in for business. But this place is cool. Cant wait to take the family someday.

I enjoyed both the restaurant and the facility. Staff was attentive, banquet was good.

Beautiful. Limited menu , pricey. But cworth being there.

I went there for a conference and they ran out of coffee quite quickly and the "continental breakfast " was a horrible joke.

First off, the hotel seemed to be taking decent COVID precautions, so that was good. However, I would not stay here again. The rooms were rather dated. The TV had no internet options like Netflix or Hulu. There were only two accessible outlets in the room and the current seemed weak (my phone lost charge while plugged in). And worst of all, the septic tank was getting pumped while we were there so when we tried to enjoy our balcony with an ocean view we immediately had to go back inside because of the awful sewage smell. The tank was there from 9 am to past 11 am on a Friday morning, so if the seaside ambience is something you're looking for, call ahead to find out when the septic tank is getting pumped and avoid those dates.

Everything on the grounds looked pretty good, except the hotel rooms in the main building; they weren't in the best shape. My first night was ok, I checked in and went down a creaky hallway to my room and got settled in. The room and 2 areas with windows, one small window had a view of an AC unit and the roof of the vallet area and the other bigger window was so hazy that I couldn't see out of it. It wasn't weather haze or fog, turns out the window was so old and unmaintained that the seal broke and the gas between the 2 panes hazed up.
Next day, I went to use the shower and the handle was so broken that I was lucky to get the water to come on. The shower head was in definite need of replacement and the bathroom was really small and outdated. I returned that night from a cold Connecticut fall and the room temp was 70, so I kicked on the heat. About 20 minutes later I realized that the room was colder than it was when I came in, the room temp was now 67 and dropping. I double checked to make sure I set the thermostat to 74 with heat but the vents were blowing really cold air. At this point it was 12:30am so I asked the front desk to have someone come fix it or relocate me; they relocated me to another room.
After moving all of my stuff to a new room in the middle of the night, I finally got a room with working heat, a normal sized bathroom, and a clear view of the parking lot.
The next morning, I go to use the shower and this handle was so broken that it just kept turning with no indication of hot or cold and no stopping point. I was able to spin it to a point where I could get warm water from yet another old, low pressure shower head. I also didn't dare put my shampoo on the shelf in the shower because it was glued on to the wall and the glue was barely holding onto the shelf.
Also in this second room, the fridge was broken to where the door could only open a few inches before it would scrape the carpet and require force to fully open. There were scrape marks on the carpet, so this was happening for a while; something that should have been noticed by the staff and fixed.
Upon check out, a few days later, I mentioned all of this to the girl at the desk and she didn't seem to care that my stay was less than satisfying and offer some kind of discount or refund for an overpriced room, nor did she take note of the issues to have them fixed.
In speaking with another guest, they had similar issues and had to switch rooms because their room did not have hot water.
Needless to say, this hotel is unmaintained, outdated, and overpriced. I don't think I would ever want to stay there again and would urge others to do their research and find another nearby hotel.

Wonderful resort. Very nice rooms. Sort soft bed. Great location.

Thanksgiving dinner. Good spread. Beautiful place. Brunch section food was cold.

This is a beautiful resort and hotel. I had such a wonderful weekend here with my family. We stayed in a very nice 6-person room which had 3 1/2 rooms (2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, on 2 floors) with an ocean view balcony. My daughter loved both the indoor and outdoor pools. The staff were very kind and helpful as well. I did a couples massage at the spa which was lavish and fun. It is very picturesque and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Outstanding resort! Friendly staff, upscale accommodations and beautiful grounds. Highly recommend.
