Plus's - Bar on the beach try the mega alcoholic chocolate delight friendly staff
comfortable bed..The island dance show and great live music on Sunday..a pool
Negatives- small we called our verandah a cupboard..shower leaked onto floor, back door stuck, very limited kitchen. The whole property is tired..not good enough for the price. We are now staying elsewhere on the island that is luxury compared to the castaway and cheaper!
The beds were firm and super comfy for my husband and me. There is even a bookshelf in the reception, which was perfect for a 'swap a book'. Would stay again. I found it was not overcrowded. The continental breakfast was perfect for the warmer weather. :) thanks for our amazing stay!!
Friendly staff, especially the young Fijian man at dinner ( didnโt catch his name unfortunately ) he made our experience so much better! would absolutely return!
Lovely place with super-friendly staff. Comfy room with mini kitchen and self-catered breakfast provided. Are at restuarant most nights. Great snorkelling at high tide/rock pooling at low. Fab sunsets. Very quiet but we loved that.

Loved the beach house. Huge house with everything you could want and directly on the beach. Only down fall was shower was cold for most of the days.
We loved staying here as a couple for our honeymoon! Only dislike is that our hair dryer didnt work.
Would recomend this place for anyone staying, the food and drinks were also toop notch!
Staff were so kind and friendly!
The staff are awesome, also highly recommend the seafood chowder, rib eye steak and fish and chips.
Donโt drink more than 1 ice tea, itโll mess you up.
Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, schรถner Strand, gemรผtliches Restaurant direkt am Strand. Busstation vor dem Haus.
Zum Teil manchmal etwas hellhรถrig, also etwas abhรคngig von den Nachbarn.
In a shocking state. We wanted to walk straight out but had no option but to endure our room for three nights.
The staff are still excellent and the food very good but we all felt sorry for them having to work under new owners who have let this place turn into a run down, dirty, boring, dump.
Castaway had a good reputation for quite some time under the previous owners. But now it has lost its appeal big time. You canโt go down for breakfast anymore, instead you get a miserable bit of food to have in your room. Wilsonโs bar is gone and there is no atmosphere at all. Such a shame. Our room wasnโt clean one of the bathrooms was disgusting it had stains and in ground dirt all over the tiles. The fridge didnโt cool our food and had to be removed as it was out of order. The dishwasher was falling to bits on the bottom so we didnโt want to use it incase it broke down as well. The power kept tripping out so you couldnโt have too many appliances on at once.
The stairs up to our room are dangerous and almost falling to bits. The pool was grotty and it needed a good clean.
The TV didnโt go at all.
I was very embarrassed that I took my friends to Castaway, it was not in this state 2 years ago.
It is no longer a resort and I would not recommend it to anyone.
Highly recommend staying here .
Staff are wonderful ,bar on the beach ,pool and yummy food and cocktails.
Basically everything you need to have a great stay.
Also best pฤฉna coladaโs on the island .
Will definitely be back
We had a great stay at Castaway which is in a great and handy location. We got a great price on Wotif.
The room had all we needed. A comfortable bed, air con (is a must have for us), a ceiling fan, a modern bathroom/toilet and a pool on site. There was a good view to the beach with the restaurant metres away from our room, not noisy at all and occasionally busy. There was a bonfire on the Sunday we were there with quite a few people congregated watching the sunset. The free wifi at the restaurant was very good. We had no roosters crowing in the morning which was a plus but there's a few local dogs barking and fighting that can wake you at night.
The continental breakfast is not a buffet but a hamper provided to the room and topped up when you choose to. We thought it was a good idea and a great way to minimise food wastage.
All the staff were pleasant and our rooms were cleaned when required. Note: No cleaning is done on Sundays.
A couple of issues. There is minimal parking on site if you hire a car. Another issue which is not the fault of the property, was that one of restaurant employees (who are castaway workers) was smoking near our room and the odour drifted inside. There is an open beach the same distance but in the opposite direction. Go there instead!
Upon arriving, I looked around and thought โwhat have I booked?โ I stayed in one of the beach front bungalows, it was neat and cosy. The bed sheets were fresh which I was so grateful for. I had everything I needed in the room. The waiting/kitchen staff were extremely welcoming and friendly, considerate and caring. Special
mention to Vani & Feraz. The first couple of days the cleaning of my room was average, then another cleaner made up for the negative, I felt comfortable with the cleaning. Probably wouldnโt have hurt to use some cleaning products in the bathroom though. The shower drain needed to be cleared of hair. Castaway is cosy, but very tired. Not attractive to look at, but as I said, my opinions started to change for the longer you are there you become used to it. Not much of an area to swim in the beach out front as coral blocks most of it. The water was beautiful though. It was very reasonably priced so I guess you get what you pay for. I stayed for 9 nights.
Very casual place , not a fancy resort.Room clean and cool.Restaurant on the site was great!Bus stop out front , but counter clock bus stops at 4:30pm.Beluga Coffee Shop 10 minute walk
