Water's Edge Resort & Spa

Everything about our stay was disappointing. We planned to have a spa day, but the “amenities” they listed like sauna and hot tub are not part of the spa. They are just the general pool area of the hotel, nowhere near the spa. Incidently they were packed with kids (great for romantic Valentine’s weekend). We tried to book a couple’s massage, but the woman at the spa desk insisted they didn’t offer them. When we got to our seperate massages, they were in couple’s rooms. Made no sense. The spa staff we’re not helpful at all. We booked their prix fixe Valentine’s dinner in their “Fine Dining” restaurant. We were seated at a table that still had the previous people’s dirty plates and glasses on it. Took 15 mins to clear and set the table with us at it! It took about 45 mins between each cours

The location is beautiful. We stayed in February 2026 and booked a standard king room. Paid $450 per night so we were expecting something special. The room was about what you'd get at a Hilton/Marriot. The TV was old and didn't offer streaming services (only cable). The bathroom was dated. Only one chair. Also, our room was directly over the lobby. This means that we heard the lobby music in our room all day and in to the early evening (and then starting again early morning by 6). Also, both Friday and Saturday night they had functions (I think they were snowball dances) and the music didn't quit until 11, so we were stuck lying in bed waiting for that to quit. They had a comedian the first night, but we were told it was $20 to attend, which seems crazy considering what we paid for the roo

Easy 2 hr drive from nyc. Elegant old school sea side resort with gorgeous holiday decor and incredibly helpful staff especially April at the front desk who was so warm and welcoming and Andrew who helped with our fireplace. We stayed in lanai suite with loft and it was perfect. Tons of room and light and an ez walk to beach and lobby. Great coffee and pastries on site and restaurant looked great but we didnt try. Lots of local cute options in Essex and Deep River. Hoping to try Spa next time too! Highly reccomend Waters edge!

We had the most wonderful stay at the River House at Waters Edge Spa. The house itself was spotlessly clean, absolutely gorgeous, and so cosy — it instantly felt like a home away from home. It was beautifully equipped with everything we needed, making our stay effortless and really comfortable. Having access to the spa was such a treat and really elevated the whole experience. The spa had a lovely, intimate and cosy feel, with two saunas, a cold plunge pool, a swimming pool, and three hot tubs, all immaculately maintained. It felt peaceful, relaxing, and never overcrowded — the perfect place to unwind. Overall, the stay was fantastic value for money considering the quality of the accommodation and spa facilities. We left feeling completely relaxed and already talking about when we can co

Positive: The friendly atmosphere Negative: One server was not as friendly. Seemed impatient and in hurry when wanting to take order. Had this server twice. Was a little more friendly in the afternoon service but still hurried.Made you feel like a bother.
