    Reviews summary

    Castaway Resort draws praise for its cultural Island night and sea view studios. Many guests like the free cocktail during happy hour and the availability of gluten-free options in the restaurant. Some note that the breakfast delivered to rooms lacks protein options. Whales can be seen from the resort, adding to its appeal.
