Castaway Island Holidays from NZ$2,038

A lovely Fijian island tropical resort. The cost of the main transport option to the island was higher than we anticipated but once we were there, it's a great place.

It was perfect for our extended families needing to stay close to Nadi International Airport (5 min drive) for an early morning flight to Australia or, in our case, a late flight to Canada. Thank you to the hosts for allowing us to check out at 7 pm. Plenty of bedrooms exist for large or multiple families, each with its own ensuite. The communal family area overlooked the pool and views of the Fijian mountains. The pool was super-clean and a suitable temperature for extended swims. The entire estate is behind two security gates, so we felt very safe during the evening. There was also a brand-new supermarket only 3 minutes drive that had everything you need to drinks, snacks and cooking. Our only concerns were that the WiFi was only working in the communal area and that the air-conditioning wasn't turned on before arrival, which required a few hours to cool down each room. The hosts greeted us on arrival and showed us everything we needed. Thanks again for your hospitality.

Spotless clean room; polite staff with genuine and caring greetings everyday; staff treated customers with graceful respect; convenient and creative amenities like the two dinner venues, and the library, and many complimentary water sports; high quality and tasteful meals everyday; unique resort design with quality construction and tropical atmosphere - this place did feel like a “hotel” stay, more like a personalized retreat.
