The Edgewater Resort is the largest hotel on the island of Rarotonga, located just 5 minutes from the airport on the south west side of the island, with a stunning backdrop of the lush green mountains behind the resort, and beautiful sunset views over the lagoon.
Set amidst 6 acres of tropical gardens fronted by the lagoon and a white sand beach, the Edgewater Resort's 280 rooms, villas and suites are located in two and three storey buildings set amongst the lush, tropical gardens and along the beachfront. The Standard guest rooms are classified as Garden or Lagoon view rooms, and the Lagoon Views, in the Aitutaki building have recently been completely refurbished (2019), with new furniture, decor and soft furnishings. The Guest Rooms offer 1 Queen and 1 single bed (or 3 singles), ensuite bathroom with shower, modern glass vanity, ceiling fans, air-conditioning, refrigerator, satellite TV/VCR with movie channels, tea and coffee making facilities and a furnished balcony with garden or lagoon views. The Studio apartments and 2-Bed apartments are more spacious and are located just a few steps from the beach. They have a small kitchenette, dining area and sitting area, along with 1 or 2 separate bedroom (Queen or 2 single beds + extra single bed) and similar amenities to the standard rooms. The Beachfront Deluxe Suites and VIP Deluxe Suites are in 3 buildings right on the beachfront with uninterrupted beach and lagoon views.

Currently, there are very limited International flight connections to and from the Cook islands. All international flights operate into Rarotonga and there are domestic connection flights into Aitutaki, Atiu and Mangaia.
The main international carrier is Air New Zealand, with direct air service provided six days a week from and to Auckland (currently there is no flight on a Friday), and once a week to and from Los Angeles, currently departing Rarotonga on a Friday arriving LA on the Saturday. The return flight leaves LA on Saturday and arrives Rarotonga on Sunday morning. They operate on a new B777-200ER aircraft, with 26 Business, 40 Premium Economy and 246 Economy seats. The Premium Economy seats are the first to be offered on this route.
There is also a year round once a week flight with Air New Zealand between Rarotonga and Sydney, departing Rarotonga on Thursday arriving Sydney on Friday and departing Sydney on Friday arriving in Rarotonga on Friday, operating on a B767-300 aircraft, with 24 Business and 206 Economy seats.
Virgin Australia operate 3 days a week from Auckland to Rarotonga, using a 737 aircraft, departing Auckland on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, arriving in Rarotonga the previous day (as you cross the International dateline), and returning flights Tuesday, Thursday and Friday arriving two days later (cross the International dateline again in the other direction adding a day, plus arriving after midnight into the next day) (schedule as of 15/10/15, subject to change without notice).
Also, for the winter months, (June-October 2016), they will be operating a direct flight Christchurch, on New Zealand's South Island, to Rarotonga. Departing on Saturday and arriving in Rarotonga on Friday (cross the date line), and returning the same day, Friday to arrive back in Christchurch on Sunday (date line and midnight time crossing), this will save visitors having to travel up to Auckland to get to the Cook Islands.
Jetstar,
a new airline starting in New Zealand, started a new flight
schedule from Auckland to Rarotonga in March 2016. At
present, they are planning to operate from and to Auckland on
Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday, with the return flight being the same
days, due to arriving and departing after midnight, and will arrive
back in Auckland the following days, due to crossing the
international dateline.
Air Tahiti
operate up to twice weekly flights from Papeete, Tahiti to
Rarotonga, currently on a Saturday and Thursday. However,
on most weeks they only operate the
Thursday flight!
All
domestic flights within the Cook islands are operate by Air Rarotonga. Their main route
is Rarotonga to Aitutaki, on which they operate up to five daily
services, except Sunday, when only one is operated (up till the end
of 2009 no flights were permitted to operate domestically on a
Sunday).
They also provide frequent services to the other main islands in
the Southern group. However, air access to the Northern group
is currently very restricted, to the point where it is almost
impossible for tourists to book flights, due to the limited seats
that are offered. Quite a lot of the time, the
seats are reserved for Government officials and the local residence
of the Northern islands.

If you would like to have a look at a seat plan for your aircraft, you can check the airlines' own website, or one of the best independent websites for this information is SeatGuru.com, which is part of the Tripadvisor group.
