First - the room and general accommodations, location and beach access are amazing. Here’s where they lose points - you cannot get around the grounds on foot - the reception is half way up the hill, and once u check in you have to park at the very top (which gets locked at 7pm) and the meet you with valet golf cart service - which at first seemed great, until we found out it wasn’t unlimited service. We did get cart service to our reservation for dinner and the wait staff arranged pick up and return to our room - there were a few folks waiting who hadn’t prearranged this. The return back in the dark, very windy cart paths were, at times, a bit scary. But the driver was courteous and safe. The check out is at 11! Which we thought was awesome bc our room included bfast so we planned to go eat around 830 then spend an hour leisurely packing up with one last coffee on our deck (with award winning views!) but NO. We were informed that we could only get cart service to our car and we would have to drive to bfast - so here’s the thing - you can’t (like ur not allowed) walk from the parking back to the rooms - and honestly u wouldn’t want to - it’s steep and designed for the carts. Customer service - apart from the cart drivers - was lacking, young likely poorly trained staff seemed relatively disinterested in providing the advertised 5-star service But - the potential is def there. ![King room with ocean view - view from the bed :)](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8550058d-9d2e-46e5-aeb8-fba35e9afa13-1773899345140.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The views are award winning!](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/10dcf5e6-05d5-4831-a839-acbce97f253d-1773899426980.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Some of the rooms have the hot tub option - probably totally worth it! ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b265af85-c8ae-47eb-a0e9-1951e1c2cbc6-1773899430284.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0e994eb6-231f-4aac-807a-123a70cf6c74-1773899440197.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Colleen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn Feb 28, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Castaways Resort was wonderful.
