10/10 Exceptional

All the staff we interacted with were lovely. The chalet we stayed in was spacious and had everything you could need but the rooms were a little tired if that is something that matters to you. The views are truly spectacular. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful location and setting
Jamie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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
Laura, 1-night trip

Mini break away
I had a wonderful time away just what I needed . I see other reviews saying the villa Rooms were tired but honestly mine was fine and I stay in lots of accommodation . The online room service ordering system didn’t work . How am I surprised but by phoning the restaurant this was easy overcome and they were most help indeed .
