Betty

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
For the price this "rainforest retreat" was very poorly maintained. Outdated furniture, poor lighting, not working TV, in general a very great contrast with the accommodation in the main pavilion of Castaways. We knew beforehand that this seperate accommodation was cheaper and for that reason more simple and older, but the contrast was far greater than reflected in the price difference. We have stayed in several different hotels during our trip from Cairns to Mackay, but Castaways rainforest accommodation was by far the worst we have come across for the price we paid. Simple accommodation does not mean that attention to the furnishing if the room can get totally neglected. The only positive was the good quality of the bed. The reception staff if Castaways was extremely short in their service, not accommodating at all when we mentioned the not working TV and asked for a plug for the bathroom sink. A very large contrast to our experience with reception staff in all the other seven hotels and resorts we stayed during these holidays!

Great position, hotel good but needs work
We stayed 2 nights, have been here before. Position is as good as you can get, right on beach front. Staff very good and friendly also easy short walk up to some really good places to eat, dinner or breakfast. Room was pretty good and comfortable. The hotel was starting to have a few renovations done while we were there, and it does need it. We are well aware of what tropical climates can do to a hotel in this climate and this place needs some work. Staff work with what they have and do a good job. The owners of some of these hotels need to spend the money instead of always just taking it in. Very good staff and position.
