Despite the fact that I had been on the website looking at Castara from the day I booked, I had not dared to hope that it would be as amazing as described. Well, it was. From our arrival at the airport, looking out for Porridge and knowing immediately it must be him from his happy smiling face to him taking... more

We lovd the view with spacious porch and kitchen area; however sleeping arrangements were not ideal. The back bedroom for my daughters was hot and stuffy; and the noise from partiers in the town really carried. They were up late both Fri and Sat nights. We went during the annual Fisherman's Festival on the beach by accident (it's 8/30 -... more

Castara Retreats is absolutely wonderful. We spent an amazing 2 weeks there and would definately go back again for more. The accomodation is completely original, we stayed in the Rainforest apartment but managed to look around pretty much all of them. They are all fairly open but with closable shutters if you feel a bit too exposed and they all... more

There was a lovely breeze at all times which kept it very comfortable and we enjoyed seeing so much wildlife from our verandah. The staff at Castara retreats... more

Just loved these apartments. We stayed in Hummingbird 1 for a week and the location is to die for. The view is just stunning, the gardens lush and tropical. The apartment itself was extremely well appointed. I was impressed by the welcome pack of loaf of bread, butter & marmelade plus a couple of beers. Although Hummingbird 1 and Hummingbird... more
