I had a truly enjoyable experience at this resort, offering a perfect blend of clean, comfortable accommodations and friendly staff. The amenities were a big plus, especially the air conditioning and pool, though the rooms showed some age. Dining at the restaurant was delightful with tasty meals, but the breakfast could have offered more choices. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for a relaxing getaway, with great value for the price.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, tucked away in a tranquil village. The tropical gardens and sea views create a beautiful atmosphere. The staff were amazing and always made me feel welcome. However, some aspects of the rooms felt a bit tired, and while there were great sunset views, the dining options could be improved slightly. Overall, it's a charming place to unwind and enjoy the beach.

I had a mixed experience at Castaway Resort. The location is fantastic, right on the beach with a lovely atmosphere. The room was clean and spacious, but construction nearby created some noise. The staff were friendly and the restaurant offered good meals, especially the breakfasts. However, the cramped arrangement of buildings detracted from the overall experience, and the maintenance of the loungers could be improved.
