    The villa I stayed in offered amazing views, and the spacious layout added to the comfortable experience. Service was prompt, particularly at the restaurant, where I found the menu had excellent options, including generous seafood chowder. The breakfast buffet featured a range of choices, making for a satisfying start to the day. The atmosphere around the fire-pit was great for unwinding after work. ,

    Limited transport options around the resort.

    Everything was really good, lovely location on the spectacular coastline, the staff were attentive. Location: the hotel was near the quiet beach. The room was brand-new with a very clean bed and a very comfy bathroom. Plus it had unbelievable view of the sea;)))

    Nothing everything was great.

    I was really disappointed by the state of the bed. They had two singles pushed together, and there was this hard seam right in the middle. For the price we paid, a comfy king-size bed is a must!

    A Fantastic Business Retreat at Castaways Resort!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Castaways Resort for a business trip, which my director arranged. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm hospitality and the stunning views from the resort. One of the highlights of my stay was the perfect 30-minute facial treatment I indulged in – a quick pick-me-up that left me feeling rejuvenated and glowing. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience, from check-in to check-out. The surrounding area was beautiful, providing a great environment for both work and relaxation. The spacious rooms and modern facilities made my trip not only productive but also enjoyable.

    wi-fi issues
    spa experience

    The spa treatment was a clear joke, not at all setup for what I paid for, also, if I had known the Wi-Fi was going to be out, I wouldn't have bothered coming here, you'd think a so-called 'resort' could manage that. Was hoping for an upgrade or complimentary service, but alas, just regular treatment. Disappointing!

    I had a fantastic weekend getaway! The location was fine, perched on a cliff with amazing views that went on for miles. It felt so peaceful and definitely a great escape from the city. I also loved the speedy check-in and the friendly staff - they made everything super easy right from the start!

    Amazing views from the Deluxe 2 Bedroom Chalet, but the room was a bit dated and the breakfast eggs were not great. Would have loved better attention to detail! 😕

    comfortable villa
    beach noise

    Amazing views and helpful staff!

    We had a fantastic night! The villa was super comfy and had the most amazing view. The staff were so friendly, especially when they offered to shuttle our kids around in a golf buggy! The only thing that bothered me was the noise from the beach bikes. The restaurant was great too, loved the fresh menu options.

    Gorgeous beachfront, good staff, and delicious breakfast options. Spacious villa with a lovely view 😊

    Only issue was the parking situation. It could be improved with quicker transport options.
