Drinks at the bar might be a bit expensive considering where you are.

Great place and super friendly staff. Great value for the money.

Second time staying here and it keeps getting better and better! The nicest, happiest and friendliest staff, freshly cooked breakfast every morning, beautiful quiet end of Long Beach and very comfortable bungalow. Great restaurants within 5 min walk to!

The villas are a bit tired, the shower floods the bathroom and towels aren’t changed daily so remain wet. Would still recommend it to everyone though because of the location!

The location is incredible, right on the beach with everything you need just up the road

Brilliant location right on the beach (at the quiet end) and with bungalows set in well manicured gardens this seemed like our own little piece of paradise

The beach has a few big rocks which makes it a bit more difficult to swim at low tide, but this wasn’t an issue for us. Long beach further north doesn’t have rocks. Breakfast was a la carte, not buffet style, but there were lots of options to choose from

We stayed in 2 resorts on the island and this one was our favourite (even though it was half the price of the other one). Small and cozy, very cute cottages, right on the beach. The food was very good.

The usual Thai problem with sunbeds and shade. Not just restricted to this property but it's always a pain

Such a lovely resort with exceptional staff. The grounds are well maintained and very clean. The breakfast is superb. The room was very comfortable.

Great location. Staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. Rooms spotlessly clean. We are already planning to return next year!

All good - just a few jellyfish at this time of year and we didn't expect that.

Location and staff were excellent. Everything about the property was welcoming and comfortable.

The resort is located right on the beach nearby a stream which most likely passes through the nearby village. We preferred to swim on the right hand side of the river where the water seemed to be cleaner.

Spatious, confortable and very clean bungalows,surrounded by a well maintained garden. Delicious breakfast and good restaurant a la carte. The main asset is the staff, always smily, super kind and ready to help. Our family had a greater time in Lanta Castaway and would definitely recommend it.

The shower rarely got warm and there didn't seem to be enough sunbeds for everyone staying there.

Beach location and lots of restaurants/bars nearby

Food on the restaurant could be more tasty. Some people might miss a swimming pool. We did not need that! In the end, everything was perfect! Would totally stay again on Castaway Resort!

Resort was perfect and there was everything we needed. We stayed two weeks and it was so good. Breakfast included to our reservation and we get to choose from the menu list. Breakfast was okay, pretty decent. We ate few times on the resorts restaurant but then decided to eat elsewhere. Food is ok, but little overpriced and you can get better and cheaper food from a restaurant just next to. But if you are tired and don't want to leave or you just want to eat by the sea and watch the sunset, it's totally worth it! The beachbar was so great! Maybe little overpriced, BUT you get the beach view !! Beach was super. It was so great to start mornings with little beach walk and swim a little. What was best, was the bungalow! We loved it!! It was super cozy and you get a housekeeping and cleaning every day! Please remember to leave a little tip to the maids! On the resort you can also go to the massage. That was so great! There's also diving and snorkeling opportunity but we skipped that. You can also rent a motorbike by the reception. You can get a little cheaper rents elsewhere on the village, but we thought that this was easy way to avoid the scams. And it was easy to get and return the bike by the resort. After stayed two weeks on Lanta and discovered whole island by motorbike, we thought that the location was actually really good. Could be the best on the island. Staff was super friendly and helpful!

Not any fault of this very lovely resort but the beach has some rocks, particularly at low tide so it wasn't that fun for swimming but if you walked down a little to the right it was easier.

This is a lovely, classy beach resort. Very well maintained, nice design, good value, quiet, comfortable bungalows with a porch you can use. Staff were wonderful, food was great and you can book excursions on site. Nice beach chairs in the sand and on the deck. Beautiful views. If you walk out to the main road , take a right go past the 7 11 we found a great place to eat, the Cozy Restaurant.

We really enjoyed our stay and only small criticism we have is that the AC in the villa worked only on fan. It was impossible to cool the room to the temperature we needed at night. Still we loved the place and had a great holiday

Absolutely gorgeous little resort with everything you may wish for your holiday. We stayed in a larger garden villa and found it comfortable, spacious and clean. Staff is extremely friendly and lovely. All possible amenities outside, this is a very good part of a Long Beach part of a road. I’ve been to Lanta many times and enjoyed this part of the road the most. The hotel part of a beach has some rocks but it gives it a character. None of the rocks are sharp and the entrance to the water is smooth. We swam 3 times a day when tide was in and out and didn’t find any issues. I would say it’s probably the best part as you have a bit of a bay instead of a straight Long Beach effect in other areas.

Upon arrival I was just shocked by the beauty of the beach front. This was our first Oceanside place on our trip but still so nice. The beach is extremely accessible with decent snorkelling right in front of the resort. Great restaurant, great service, clean and private bungalows. They gave us two free massage tokens upon arrival which was a nice surprise and the ocean front massage set up was great. The front desk was SO helpful for booking tours, scooters, and transport out at competitive prices. Breakfast were awesome. Good coffee :) I did my open water scuba course with the attached Relax and Dive and the connivence of that was perfect. Great shop and nice way to do a course that your partner isn’t in, makes it easy to meet up after. The staff was so friendly! Can’t be said enough.
