In over 20 years of travel to some of the poorest countries in the world, the Castaways is the worst and most insecure place we have ever stayed. The rooms had no deadbolts on the doors even in the top end units. We were robbed three times while there, and the management told us it was our fault! Like we have the mafia following us around the world. After confronting the robber in the act of going through our luggage the third time, we moved to another hotel. If you do stay here, leave your valuables at home and sleep with your money and documents.
P.S. Our wallets with driver's licenses, credit cards, etc. were recovered by the local police and returned to the hotel management. We called numerous times to offer to pay postage and were always told they would send them some day. We have yet to have received them.

When we arrived, parts of the hotel were under construction. We've been the only guest also. The dive base was not open so we had to look for another base. The rooms were clean, all had aircon, but much to expensive (150 US$ one night). The food was ok, the staff (one lady at all) very polite and friendly. Somehow the whole place looked a little bit abandoned, maybe it will look better when they've finished their renovation.

Hope to help you,

Marc.
