The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Delight

The food at Castaway Island was absolutely fantastic! We opted for the all-inclusive meal plan which allowed us to enjoy a wide variety of dishes without worrying about costs. The breakfast buffet was impressive, featuring options like an egg station and fresh waffles. Dinner at the main restaurant every night was a treat, with views that were absolutely lovely. The wood-fired pizzas by the beach were a highlight as well, truly top quality. I can't wait to return and indulge again!

Amazing Kids Club

The Kids Club at Castaway was beyond my expectations! My children had an very nice time participating in activities like coconut husking and evening bonfires. They were eager to attend every day, and the staff made them feel so welcome and comfortable. The flexibility of the club allowed us to enjoy our time as parents while knowing our kids were safe and having fun. The certificate they received at the end of our stay was a nice touch, leaving them with wonderful memories.

Blissful Relaxation

I treated myself to a couple of treatments at the day spa, and it was the perfect way to unwind. The tranquil setting added to the relaxing atmosphere, and the massages I received were heavenly. I found it so refreshing to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and I left feeling rejuvenated. Just spending time by the beach and enjoying the warm waters was the most blissful dream I could ask for.

Spacious & Comfortable Bure

Our beachfront bure was nothing short of beautiful! It was spacious enough for our family and had all the amenities we needed. The large bathroom was well-appointed, and the air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping us comfortable during our stay. I especially loved that we could walk just steps from our door to the beach. The little touches, like the provision of clothes lines and pegs, showed attention to detail that made our stay that much more enjoyable.
