It’s not near other properties for dining options, but they have a very extensive menu and the food was delicious. The staff are the best, attentive and friendly and helpful.
Frances Catherine, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff are awesome, also highly recommend the seafood chowder, rib eye steak and fish and chips. Don’t drink more than 1 ice tea, it’ll mess you up.
Cliff, 3-night trip

We stayed in the beach house and it was perfect for us. Right next door to the bar/restaurant and still so private. Food and drinks were the best we tasted on the island. Staff were all lovely. We had the beach to ourselves most of the time, it was beautiful.

John, 8-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the privacy. We loved that there was a restaurant and bar right on the beachfront - the food was delicious. The staff were wonderful, very friendly and welcoming. We loved the easy access to the beach and being able to walk from our room down to the beach to swim. The foot bowl and extra floor towels for cleaning sandy feet were great too. We would definitely choose to stay here again!

Plus's - Bar on the beach try the mega alcoholic chocolate delight friendly staff comfortable bed..The island dance show and great live music on Sunday..a pool Negatives- small we called our verandah a cupboard..shower leaked onto floor, back door stuck, very limited kitchen. The whole property is tired..not good enough for the price. We are now staying elsewhere on the island that is luxury compared to the castaway and cheaper!

The beds were firm and super comfy for my husband and me. There is even a bookshelf in the reception, which was perfect for a 'swap a book'. Would stay again. I found it was not overcrowded. The continental breakfast was perfect for the warmer weather. :) thanks for our amazing stay!!
