A lovely location and relatively good value for money, but the Rainforest rooms themselves are very tired and long overdue for a reno. No powerpoints next to the beds is a real pain, and would take 5 mins for an electrician to install. Note that the Rainforest rooms are in a separate facility away from the reception/bar/restaurant/beachfront rooms, which I'm sure are much nicer. Staff were great and the meals at Buko are excellent.

I booked and stayed in the rainforest room, this section of the resort is across the road from the beach rooms. The rainforest rooms should be demolished/ condemned. Toilet blocked up every afternoon, sliding doors to patio did not close tight leaving a gap at the top of the doors. Peeling paint on ceilings and bath tub. Stayed 3 nights and was told by staff that Rainforest Rooms do not receive a mid stay freshen up. As a local to the Far North, I won’t be booking these rooms again. On a plus side the bed was comfy and the water was hot in the shower.

I night stopover
We stayed in the cheaper rainforest part of the resort, beautiful garden and quiet, hard to figure out where to park , drove past a few time before we figured out entrance, too tight to angle park outside our room so went out the front and parked on grass. Mirror had toothpaste splattered on it , but the bed was the worst bed I have ever slept on , it dipped in the middle and made creaking noises and kept pinging ever time I moved , so bad . The breakfast was nice after the confusion on if I had paid or not through 3 staff members, I had paid the evening before on a check in . anyway probably will stay again but not in the rainforest side 😳

Food great as always. 1st time in a more cost effective room as overnight stay only. Room was better than anticipated. Room has had a revamp, bathroom revamp best as able without a new one. Confusion on leaving regarding our costs due. Additional amount charged 2 hrs after departure without notification. Not disputing the fee though a phone call or message would have been appreciated.

Great stay
The main building is excellent, staff are very friendly and helpful, restaurant is great and the pool is clean and relaxing. However we stayed in a room over the road in the rainforest section, which is cheaper - the main problem was we were on the ground floor so got a lot of bugs in our room

Pool at the Rainforest Rooms was not overly inviting & requires some new furniture. Very poor in comparison to the main resort. Great location within walking distance to all the restaurants, cafes & bars. Can recommend the roast veg salad with basil pesto @ the pub. Absolutely delicious 😋

The rainforest rooms were previously known as Mackay's and are about 50 metres from the main resort. Good atmosphere, great staff, friendly vibe. The main and best reason for us staying in the Rainforest rooms is the price compared to the main resort, as all amenities of both properties are available to guests - best of both worlds!

Have stayed at Castaways a few times on business over the years, and mostly found it to be pretty good. Somehow this time, we were in an old 1950's style motel next door - badly in need of renovations, and cockroaches everywhere at night. Two things that were good - the double bed, and the young girl who served us breakfast each morning who was excellent, and would be welcomed at any 5 star restaurant - don't know her name, but I did give her a wrap to the receptionist.
