Top Rarotonga Hotel Reviews

Castaway Resort

Castaway Resort

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed staying at Castaway. From our arrival the checkin process is relaxed and simple. The room was clean and tidy, the bed in our room was massive and comfy. The shower was great with good pressure. Grace at reception was excellent and is an assett to Castaway. Castaway is in a good location and is smaller than some other resorts, which made it quieter and relaxed. Arorangi has bells rung at 5am(!!) On weds/fri/sun for church, which was a shock the first time but doesn’t last long and is NOT a tsunami warning!"

"The location is great, right infront of the Airport. Resturant services available during lunch and dinner, tried several dishes and all are good. The room was spacious, clean and nice. The only problem is the noise from the bar at night."

"We have stayed here several times and have always been happy here. Unfortunately we had a few issues this stay. We upgraded to a 3 bedroom apartment and the price charged on arrival was a lot higher than when we booked this over the phone the day before. New management had made a lot of small changes which were a shame, but must be a cost reason. Check in was not the best this time. Made us think at looking at other accommodation options next time."
