Mission Beach is billed as a great place to have a quiet break away from the hussle and bustle, but not when there's a Film Festival in town. Our first night we had to put up with a "concert" just outside our window. Then, when I came down with an illness, I was told I could leave a day early... more

My partner and I recently stayed at Castaways for a week and thought it was fantastic! The staff that greeted us on arrival were very friendly, professional and helpfull. We stayed in a 1 bedroom spa apartment, which I thought was very well set out. The kitchen was a great size, the lounge and flat screen tv's were great and... more

We stayed at Castaways at Mission Beach for two weeks. We wanted somewhere peaceful and relaxing. Mission Beach was certainly the location for that. The hotel rooms were very substandard with very boring and cheap decor. The T.V was very old and small; I think we were unlucky as previous reviews mention new TVs! The air conditioner was only in... more

I did not enjoy my time at Castaways. The service was rude in greeting me, and gave me probably the worst room in the hotel - for a hotel that claims every room has an ocean view, my view was of the garbage dumps, air conditioning, and parking lot, right above what sounded like the dishwashing area of the kitchen.... more

A good bed!

On our tour of Oz we pre booked 2 nights at this resort. I do think resort is kind of pushing it as are the pictures on the website (it isnt as big as it looks!). Having said all that, the rooms are very spacious and the bed was the best we had in 19 nights in Oz. The pool... more

We stayed 6 nights at Castaways and loved every day. The location is just amazing, right on the beach and a short walk from town. The beach is just stunning and the main reason for us going there. We spent most days just sitting by the pool or swimming in the ocean, which is what this hotel is all about.... more

We stayed at Castaways for 5 nights at the end of August - having never seen the resort we booked it for our wedding on recommendations from family. In all, there was about 25 of us staying there over the 5 days. Another 20-25 stayed in other types of accommodation that suited their budget as not everyone could afford to... more

My partner and I had a two night stay in the hotel. The lobby and reception were very nice and clean. The views from nearly everywhere on the grounds were amazing. Gardens neatly kept and nice, but the sprinklers were in awkward areas. (I.E. Inches away from and spraying on the gate/path from the pool to the beach, if you... more

Dear MaybeeScottie I am dissapointed to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at Castaways and in reading your review I can understand your thoughts in regard to the property The restaurant normally gets positive feedback and I am unsure as to the reason for your poor food and service on the evening in question however I have met...

Stayed for a Wedding on 3-5 October 2008. Long Beach, sand and sun. Great for anyone ONLY looking for that. Believe me the long white sands and rainforests backing the scene is wonderful. If you are a type who likes sand between the toes and a nice swim and even body board action on a rough day, by all means... more

The position of this hotel is fantastic - and although the rooms are a teeny bit tired, the bedding has been upgraded and was beautiful. Also, the only place on our recent Qld holiday with flat screen TV. In summary: location location location; and you'll want to take the bed and pillows with you when you go. Loved it. more
