Castaway Island Fiji

Currently staying at another hotel and very angry at myself for not just coming back to Castaway. It’s so naturally beautiful and the staff are genuinely happy and make it a magical experience. The snorkeling is incredible. The kids club was truely excellent and had my kids begging to go. The staff had them outside and active and they genuinely love kids and take so much pride in teaching them about their culture and the nature around them. It’s an extremely special island and I’m regretting my choice to not go back there this time around. A special shout out to Mickey, who was so kind and fun - went above and beyond and we still remember him a year on! Only thing that wasn’t amazing was the food. I was dreading meal time, as the food wasn’t good. Aside from this, it was a beautiful natural get away. Highly recommend!

So, let me tell you about Castaway Island Resort Fiji. For a hotel that is older than the country of Fiji itself, there’s so much to be said about Castaway that I can’t even begin to put into a google review ; but I’m going to give it my best. If you’re trying to decide between this and another option for a special wedding, family, honeymoon or solo getaway, there’s obviously a lot to consider. For couples, honeymooners, wedding-goers - every bit of detail from the amazing beach side choir to the detailed floral arrangements and reception will blow you away, and that’s only covering the surface! The food is incredible (buffet, a-la-carte, a hidden sushi bar, sundowner pizza deck, I could go on and on!) If you have kids - every nanny on call is almost like a child whispering wizard that will get even the most timid young souls to be curious and excited to step away from mum and dad for a few hours. We have a 19 month old Velcro child who is normally a nightmare to separate from when there’s a new face around. We had 5 different caregivers over the course of our stay who won her over instantly and had her in stitches and exploring the whole time. That deserves 25 stars, not 5. The history of the island is special, and you feel it the moment you step on and are greeted by the amazing team here. If this resort was situated on the mainland of Fiji, I’d say run, don’t walk there. But even if you miss your ferry transfer and can’t find another boat or even kayak to get you out to Castaway, swim - it’s worth every second. Others during our stay talked about being 2nd, 3rd and some even 4th generation guests, and after a few days here you can certainly see why 🇫🇯 Vinaka vakalevu 🙏🏽

We came for a day trip & loved it. Would love to return & stay in the island. Plenty to do - kayaking, snorkelling, kids water park & pools. A paradise to relax & great buffet lunch catering for all dietary needs too (vegan)
