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 overall stay in a villa with spectacular views. Only down side is access is only by golf buggy. If you have a remote villa and early departure, make sure you take any suit cases the night before to your car. As our booked cart did not show up. Not a great end to otherwise fantastic stay.
