Have been visiting Waters Edge for the past 7 years(?) Always been welcomed back like an old friend by Appul, Boss and rest of staff. Food is superb, never had a bad meal, staff remember exactly what we have to drink, sometimes just pop in for a beer early afternoon and staff remember our order, can't fault them. More

This was the first time I had eaten barracuda and it was gorgeous. Every dish we had we couldn’t find a fault in. Along with this the local doggies... More

Had a wonderful time eating and staying in the Water's Edge. Appu and the staff looked after us perfectly, helped by the rest of the staff. We eat there every day we were in Kovalum and the food was delicious!! Rooms were clean and had a stunning view of the beach. Great to wake to the sound of the waves... More

On both occasions, Appu the manager has been at the airport to meet us with his ever beautiful smile and happy nature. Everything is so... More
