Castaways Resort & Spa On Mission Beach

I loved our stay. The location, atmosphere and proximity to the beach, pub and takeaway food made it a car free stay. The grounds are perfectly manicured and the common areas neat and clean. The staff were accommodating and cheerful. Heaps of parking and if you have a caravan or boat, plenty of room on the street outside. The beach had the swim nets out and the access was simple. The pool area was great. I noted a few reviews where people complained of leaves in the pool, but if anyone who owns a pool near trees would agree this is a normal aspect of pool ownership. So leaves in a pool are not that much of a big deal people. The hotel also provides larger bins outside the rooms for rubbish/recycling. The rooms were a great size and the facilities were ample. Fridge, kettle, milk, coffee and tea provided. The beds were very very comfortable, and the room exceptionally clean. I couldn't imagine the workload the cleaners would have with how easy it is to bring sand back to the room from the beach. I read many reviews about how outdated the rooms were and how a revamp was in need. I would agree if the room was $500 a night but not for $200 a night. What some people may not understand is that furniture in the tropics has to go through months with extreme humidity and heat which absolutely destroys wooden furniture and decor. Add salt air to the mix and it's a never ending battle. What I saw in the room was not outdated but just premature wear and tear from the elements, certainly nothing that would stop me from coming back. Great value for money.

Great location with beach access. Very good staff. Accommodating and friendly.

Great location right on the beach. Lovely pool right next to the bar and restaurant area. The pool, restaurant and bar area were well thought out with comfortable chairs, floating pool chairs and overlooking the well maintained garden area.

Castaways is a very nicely appointed resort right on Mission Beach. Our first-floor room was clean and comfortable, with a great view of the beach and the Coral Sea. The weather was fairly variable, but there were plenty of things to do, including a trip to beautiful Paronella Park, about 45 minutes away. We ate several meals at the onsite restaurant (great views) and the food was as good as anything we got in two weeks in North Queensland. Shout out to Alison, a pivotal staff member who went out of her way to be friendly and provided great service

Waking up to a beautiful beachside view of the beach and palm trees. The view is spectacular. I truly recommend this place to people. Walking along the beach is marvellous.. Waking up to the beautiful sunrises and evening sunsets. A stay at Castaways will lift your spirits and brighten up your day. If you want to getaway from the city, this is the place to get peace and solitude.
