"Castaways Resort was wonderful. The chalet was clean, comfortable, and had a wonderful view of the sea. The restaurant was good and had a great variety for breakfast. It is out of the way, but if you’re looking for someplace remote and quiet, this place is excellent."

Castaways is a lovely place. The food was average but the service friendly and suits the location. The best thing is the view and location, the rest is OK.
