The resort is good, the local popular one, 3k a night is still quite expensive, the price is generally the same, although the best beach and the lake on the main island, but it is still completely incomparable with the outlying island, it is OK to stay for one night.

Guest UserThe location is not great - the nearest bus stop is 10-15 minutes walk. There is not much of service- it does not accommodate for early check in or late check out, and you have to find a place to store you own suitcases, see attached photo- Very problematic if you do not have a rental car. The next door neighbour had a very very loud party during the first night and really affected my rest. The pool service person knocked on the door on the second day without any notice. Pool maintenance should be arranged when there is no guest. Would not recommend.

Guest UserWonderful Beachfront Location and Excellent Value
Castaway Resort enjoys an amazing beachfront location. It was well sheltered from the strong seasonal winds we experienced elsewhere on the island, making it a peaceful and comfortable place to stay.
Our accommodation was a good size, and we appreciated having a separate lounge area and small kitchenette. The television reception was fuzzy, possibly due to the aerial, but this was of little consequence to us. The sofa bed, however, was well past its useful life. The deep dip in the middle made it uncomfortable to use even as a sofa unless it was filled with pillows and cushions.
The pool area is functional but looks tired and would benefit from some maintenance and updating. Wi-Fi is available only in the restaurant and other public areas, not in the rooms, which made working a little inconvenient. However, this was clearly stated in the resort’s description before booking, so it was not unexpected.
The staff were amazing. Aileen, our housekeeper, and Firaz and Nather in the restaurant deserve special recognition. They were extremely personable, attentive and always willing to go the extra mile.
The restaurant serves well-prepared and beautifully presented local food. Its beachfront position is a particular highlight, and enjoying cocktails there at sunset became one of the best parts of each day.
Overall, Castaway Resort offers very good value for money, and we would happily recommend it. The calm beachfront setting, friendly staff and beautiful sunsets make any minor inconveniences pale into insignificance. A stay here is unlikely to disappoint.

This hotel is really convenient for the airport. Rarotonga's scenery isn't nearly as stunning as Aitutaki's; most activities here involve going out on the water rather than just relaxing at the hotel. If you're going to the Cook Islands, Aitutaki is definitely the highlight, so this hotel is perfect for a stopover. You can spend the day taking the bus to explore the beaches on the south side of the island, then grab a meal at one of the hotel's restaurants, and take a taxi back. Since flights to Aitutaki are on a fixed schedule, you'll definitely need to spend at least one day in Rarotonga. The hotel also offers luggage storage. At $12 a bag, I think it's more reliable than the airport lockers. Plus, it's only a two-minute walk away.
