We stayed here in December 2011 as part of a round the world trip and unfortunately was the biggest disappointment of all of our numerous hotels and apartments. From the moment we arrived and were shown the room we felt very let down. The staff kindly upgraded us to another room only to be shown an equally shabby room which... More

Had lunch at Castaways last week with a friend - spent a couple of hours having a few drinks, taking in the view and dining. The food was great - huge and really fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would go back. The service was very friendly, but a little disorganised. All up, Castaways has prime position on the... More

This was going to be our ''spoil ourselves stay and a sentimental return. Given that Mission Beach was thrashed by Cyclone Yassi, Castaways Resort public entertainment areas are remarkably unscathed. We had a resort room upstairs with large sliding doors opening on to a balcony. The balcony floor was scattered with the remains of a broken cup and quite grubby.... More

This hotel is right on the beach and our room overlooked it but sadly not with a balcony just a very large window that you could fully open. Nice room, fairly plain with little storage/wardrobe/draw space if you were staying more than a night. Nice bathroom, everything was very clean. I think we had one of the room that had... More

My husband and three children visited Mission Beach to attend a 25th Wedding Anniverary Celebration. The location was magic - right on the beach with uninterupted views. We had room 111 so we were on the bottom floor opening directly out on to the pool deck. The rooms and the actually resort are some what dated but the bed was... More

OK so the resort looks good, room plenty of space right by the pool, full of kids. Bought an ultimate Relaxation package, not so relaxing fled to our room and shut the door, somewhat quieter, shutting the curtains blocked out more noise but the point of booking beach front was lost! The bathroom was a surprise as it was for... More

Castaways is undoubtedly the hidden gem of Mission Beach. With an open air bar and the beautiful horizon pool, literally right on the beach hugged by palm trees - it was just a spectacular place to be. Our room had an amazing view to the ocean, and it looks like all rooms do in the hotel. We loved hanging out... More

We stayed here on our recent trip to Queensland and found this contemporary styled resort relaxed and friendly. The food was particularly good when it arrived, though the waitress service, whilst friendly, was a little slow. This may have been because there was a wedding in progress whilst we were there. The view from our walk out patio room was... More
