All the staff we interacted with were lovely. The chalet we stayed in was spacious and had everything you could need but the rooms were a little tired if that is something that matters to you. The views are truly spectacular. We will definitely be back.

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 .

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

Great views and room but poor service
View from villa is amazing, our two-bedroom villa has all the rooms facing the ocean with great view, and is very well maintained. Services are very limited- front desk seems never pick up internal phone calls; after we reached them with our local cellphone, the service they promised never showed up…also never mentioned from resort information that they don’t provide daily room clean service and if you want it would be extra charge.
Breakfast buffet is okay but was very crowded and we waited 5 minutes to get a small table, but no one came to clean the table and we had to go get cutlery from servant ourselves.
