Have just spent 6 days at the Castaway Beach Villas and loved every moment of it. A small resort but well resourced in terms of having restaurant, bar, pool and a deck right on the high tide mark. Combined with the friendly staff who take an interest in getting to know you and your wishes without being in your face... more

Spent 7 days here and really enjoyed ourselves. The Villas are a bit dated but the staff are really friendly and try to go the little extra which makes for a pleasant stay. The best of both worlds in that the Villas are self service but there is a small restaurant and bar so you can indulge. Cheapest cocktails around... more

Because it was the end of the raining season, the entire island seemed quiet. The hotel has 12 units, but only 3 to 6 were occuppied at any one time. We had one of... more

We have been to Castaway Villas twice now, with a third trip happening the beginning of May 06. We love this resort so much, as well as the owners Dorothy & Cameron Robertson. While Rarotonga itself is beautiful, this resort and its hosts keep us coming back. I could not imagine staying there under any other circumstances. Because this is... more
