Castaway Resort

8/10 Good

"Restaurant on site was great as was the bar…pool area was smaller than expected. Our room (15) backed on to the kitchen extractor fan so was a bit noisy when the fan was going when they were cooking. Loved the continental breakfast included where we could cook our own toast or have cereal. Staff were very friendly and helpful."

Moana Sands Lagoon Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a great location. The beach in front was quite rocky but a short walk takes you to nice sand. The rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast was basic but served its purpose. There are plenty of outdoor seats and deckchairs to utilise, however may be because of low season"
