We arrived late on evening after our road trip. The hotel was wonderful and the staff was great. Dinner was also wonderful. The only issue we had is the shower water drained all over the bathroom floor. Thus we had to use the clean white towels to soak up the water. Bad shower design. Other than that everything was wonderful.

Lovely site on the beachfront. Easy walk to other restaurants. Rooms need updating. Fridge rusty, not working effectively. Louvres at front of room missing? needs to be replaced. Dined at restaurant, nearly blown away...need to install some kind of wind buffer to both restaurant and reception desk area.

This property has the WOW factor. Beautifully appointed rooms, comfortable beds and an amazing view. The restaurant, bar and pools are great, the food was really nice and we enjoyed 'happy hour'. A Short walk to main street as well. I can recommend staying here.

Bed looked like it had been slept in, there was toilet paper in the toilet, a cockroach crawling around my room. Decor is daggy for the price i paid. Lots of errors with my booking, it was suggested i hadn't paid when i had. Had a few emails & phone call suggesting that i didn't pay. Showed confirmation & receipt plus bank statement then got told they didn't realise I'd paid

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
For the price this "rainforest retreat" was very poorly maintained. Outdated furniture, poor lighting, not working TV, in general a very great contrast with the accommodation in the main pavilion of Castaways. We knew beforehand that this seperate accommodation was cheaper and for that reason more simple and older, but the contrast was far greater than reflected in the price difference. We have stayed in several different hotels during our trip from Cairns to Mackay, but Castaways rainforest accommodation was by far the worst we have come across for the price we paid. Simple accommodation does not mean that attention to the furnishing if the room can get totally neglected. The only positive was the good quality of the bed. The reception staff if Castaways was extremely short in their service, not accommodating at all when we mentioned the not working TV and asked for a plug for the bathroom sink. A very large contrast to our experience with reception staff in all the other seven hotels and resorts we stayed during these holidays!
