Not a good experience
We were disappointed overall. We choose this place because we thought it had a pool ( there were pics of the pool attached to listing), when we arrived we were told the pool was only available to certain guests. Our apartment was on a very busy road and all you could hear were loud stereos in cars driving by all night. The road the apartment was on was too busy to walk on, had to use taxi for everything. A few times we had no water for showering and had to contact manager. Wifi went down our last day. Manager contacted us on 2nd day because housekeeping felt the sheets were too dirty when they went to change them and asked us to be careful. There was no place to eat in the apartment, you had to sit on the bed with plates. Room had lizards in it. Overall, hugely disappointing with no pool, felt like the add was very deceptive.

We originally booked a 2 bed lodge (for 5 of us) but decided to change to the 3 bed lodge as this would give us more room. The 3 bed lodge is extremely spacious and a beautiful setting.

On arrival we had no power went to reception to ask for candles amazing the power came on! Wifi very slow, or none at all! the little pool needs a good clean as we had our grandson with us. The villa itself is beautifully decorated and spacious. The cookware needs to be updated, very old and grubby! Even though I still prepared evening meals after giving them a good scrub! Candles of citronella should be provided as we were bitten by mosquitoes, applying ourselves with repellent wasn't enough! The reception lady on arrival was kind enough to tell us about good swimming location. Staff came in every day to replace towels and made beds.Good value for family, recommend this villa if you don't mind bad reception for phone and iPad,

We booked the apartment with reef view. It was really beautiful and decorated with love. Everything was new and furnished in a modern way. There is a supermarket just next door, so we had everything we needed. Above all the host, Nila, is a very kind person who really looks after her guests. I highly recommend Castaway Lodge.

Spacious for familys
Stort och rymligt men kök och badrum skulle behöva renoveras upp till bättre skick.Hotellet underhålls dock väldigt bra och AC m.m. var toppskick. Det bor två stora sköldpaddor på anläggningen vilket barnen älskade och de kunde klappa dem.
