Castaways Resort was wonderful. The chalet was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful view of the sea. The restaurant was good and had a great variety for breakfast. It is out of the way, but if you’re looking for someplace remote and quiet, this place is excellent.

Beautiful location. Came back for our anniversary (we got married here 8 years ago). Only downfall was we were in a 1 bedroom unit joined to a villa, the bedroom had no kitchen facilities, no coffee and no cutlery other than teaspoons. But we would stay here again and staff were very accommodating

The restaurant is very for the breakfast, very small amount of options for vegans or vegetarians. There is definitely a room for improvement for the restaurant. Otherwise we loved our stay. Thank you

Robert, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at castaways. Booked a 1 bedroom villa which had great views. You do need to transfer from the carpark to the room in a buggy, and also need to drive to the restaurant. The food and service at the restaurant was very good, and buffet breakfast had lots of options. Definitely recommend
Laura, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room service food was cold for which I received only a 20% discount!!! Should have been free. Trying to reach anyone in the resort via the phone system was a nightmare. I would never go to this resort ever again
Col, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property! The villa was like new inside, super clean and comfortable. Great views of the sunrise, sunset and the stars and moon. Make sure to replan golf cart pick ups before 8 am. Only other issue I had was asking to cancel or move 2 days (over a month and a half before the trip) to a sister property, they said they were fully booked so I would have to cancel the entire stay and try to rebook again for the new dates I wanted. I even offered to stay at a sister property in areas where excursions that had been booked and were several hours away.
Corrie Rebecca, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

Great two bedroom suite with two bathrooms attached however shower was old and couldn’t adjust or remove head piece. Birds nesting in wall and made noises in the night and chirping early in the morning.
Vannessa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Still a great property. The restraint staff seem to forget that they are working a resort and seem to forget it's about the whole experience.

10/10 Exceptional

Mini break away

I had a wonderful time away just what I needed . I see other reviews saying the villa Rooms were tired but honestly mine was fine and I stay in lots of accommodation . The online room service ordering system didn’t work . How am I surprised but by phoning the restaurant this was easy overcome and they were most help indeed .
