Search hotels in Castaway Island

My husband and I visited Castaway Island with my sister, her husband and their two boys (aged 5 and 6), the main attraction being the Kid's Club - where my nephews enjoyed up to 8 h of planned fun throughout the day. The hotel staff are exceptional - every single person remembers your name and greets you with a genuine smile. Upon arrival and departure, a group of singers and musicians play a welcome/farewell song. During dinner at the patio, you are also treated to great live entertainment. Not too loud so you can converse but loud enough that you can enjoy the music. Breakfast and dinner options were great. The coffee bar and pizza restaurant were also great. The hotel is located in Qalito Island and there are a couple of walks you can do - one up the hill with an option to take a detour down to a secluded beach or a walk around the island during low tide. We were enchanted by the beautiful sandy beaches, the spectacular sunsets and the taste of Kokoda (traditional Fijian fare reminiscent of a coconut-ceviche). We were treated to fresh coconuts throughout our stay. In terms of activities, we went on a little 'outer reef' snorkeling adventure that saw us swimming with turtles - a memory we will treasure. We also enjoyed the on-site snorkeling which was full of life and colors. I would guess we saw at least 60 varieties of sea creatures during our 75 min swim around the hotel - including the dark blue starfish. We also had fun making tie-dye shirts with the boys under the instruction of the Kid's Club Staff. There is a nice shop onsite for everyday essentials, hats, rash guards, bathing suits, snacks, and even postcards and stamps. Many of the families we spoke to are regulars (which makes sense given close proximity to New Zealand and Australia). BONUS - they have a guest room with a bed, sitting room and shower for parties departing later than checkout. So you can still enjoy the beach and have a place to clean up prior to departing.

THE LOCATION AND ROOMS WERE MAGNIFICANT. EVERYONE WAS SO FRIENDLY AND LOVED ALL THE ACTIVITIES THAT THEY PROVIDED ESPECAILY THE PICINC LUNCH ON AN ISLAND. THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE

Everything! Friendly staff, great views, interesting activity, delicious food

Every detail of this resort was polished and setup for true relaxation on all fronts. Highly recommended. Excellent food!

We loved it all. We enjoyed our spacious and air-conditioned bure, the pool, the food, the staff, and the snorkeling and surfing.

The resort was beautiful. We stayed in one of the ocean front bures. We stayed in early March so the resort was pretty empty but I'm sure there is a lot going on during their busy season. The staff was friendly and helpful. Leitia and Nino were awesome.

Located right on the beach so it was nice to go to sleep and wake up to the sounds of crashing waves. The price included breakfast, lunch and dinner, but drinks were extra.

Absolutely loves this place the beach, the people and the food they cooked . Clean, comfortable, AC good wifi
