This resort was absolutely incredible! Location is amazing, right on the beach front and only a 5 minute walk to restaurants and bars. The pool area is so lovely, and rooms we're incredible! The restaurant downstairs is an added bonus, with very delicious meals. Would highly recommend.

Veronica Australia

Really friendly hotel with a beautiful location in front of the beach. The restaurant was really tasty too, though a bit slow.

Tianna United States of America

Gorgeous setting.... Outdoor seating overlooking the pools, pools overlooking the lawn, lawn overlooking the palm trees, palm trees overlooking the ocean. Our 5yo boy loved it as much as we did. We often measure how much we liked a place by how sad we are to leave. We were very sad to leave Castaways 🥰

Michael Australia

Location is amazing!! Right on the beach, with a fantastic view of Dunk Island and only a few minutes walk into the quieter part of town (much less developed). Dining facilities and menu excellent as well.
