There were a few little touches missing. For instance ambient lighting.
Renjith1985IndiaAn excellent stay with a scenic view, though there were minor areas for improvement.
We were stuck on a super windy day, so we couldn’t really enjoy the outside view much. That said, the place has an absolutely stunning view, and you can totally catch a sunset from your balcony.

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about Castaways Resort
What time is check-in and check-out at Castaways Resort?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Castaways Resort allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Castaways Resort?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Castaways Resort?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Castaways Resort have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Castaways Resort?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Castaways Resort have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Castaways Resort?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
