A cool place with great staff.

Cabins were clean and tidy on arrival, the staff were also super helpful, probably the best service we received in Thailand. The cafe on the beachfront was really nice, proper tasty food and drinks. Great location, 5 minute walk to Walking street and right on the beach. When we booked this initially our thought was ‘how bad can it be without AC’ for a few nights. For us, it was a bit unbearable, really struggled to sleep while we were here, I can’t hold that against Castaways as we knew before we booked but it’s something you need to consider. On the final day there was a whole bunch of ants that had invaded toilet and I woke up covered in bites that weren’t from mosquitos, not sure what they were but wasn’t very nice. After noticing the bites we took the bed covers up to check for bed bugs and it was kinda gross, not sure how often they change the mattress topper sheet underneath.

Overall I enjoyed my stay at the resort. Positives for me was that it was quiet/peacful, there were plenty of helpful and friendly staff and it was a good location. I enjoyed waking up early and listening to the birds sing. The immediate beach area is nice too although I wish there were less boats there for safety reasons. I thought the restaurant and bar was very good, reasonably priced with lots of options. Would prefer them to have some healthy breakfast options like granola and smoothie bowls. The only option was muesli which wasn’t very nice. Unfortunately there are a few things you should be aware of if you book here. There is no hot water, no aircon (not an issue for me as it was breezy), no WiFi and the mobile signal is very poor. Also, it’s quite dark on the ground floor in the cabins, so I actually had difficulty shaving as my vision is not the best. The stairs is a tiny bit steep and the steps are small if you have mobility issues, just something to be aware of.

Beautiful but bare bones and rustic resort in Koh Lipe. Wonderful staff and dining options. No Air Conditioning or hot showers made it challenging though. The beach area is also crowded and very loud because of long tail boat traffic.

We liked the dining and communal area which always had a refreshing breeze. The staff were super-attentive and the menu for food and drink was really good value. The view over the ocean with its blue and jade colours and traditional sailing boats is to die for and the memory will carry me through the cold European winter. Our cabin was set back from the sea which was a shame and the fan was really needed. Remember to take insect repellent with you, as the mosquitoes were ready to sting.

it’s a lovely property, with a very relaxed feel - Nice food options, spa and water activities all available on site. The Only real challenge is the mosiquitos at late afternoon/early evening - but there are plenty of spray (just didn’t work for me).

The food, staff and location were great. The rooms though were very hot and they need to put in proper ceiling fans as the ones they have do not get the job done. Also, some wi-fi in the rooms would be good.

Rustic and authentic castaway

Rustic it certainly is. Prime location on sunrise beach, and close walking distance to everything. We had a beach breezy which was worth it. If you're ok with no pool and no AC then this is exactly as you'd expect as a castaway

Overpriced, mosquito infested, but good bar

It’s hard to get away from the feeling that Castaway are selling $10 huts for $100. No AC, lots, and I mean LOTS of mosquitoes, nets with holes in them, ineffective plug in mosquito killer… No fridge (eco, remember?) but still charge for ice… The food was excellent, service reasonable, drinks, especially happy hour, reasonable price. The view was awesome, but the 4am long tails loud. Plenty of other hotels on the beach, next time I’ll pick one with AC.

castaway resort

Castaway resort is located in one of the best beaches of Koh Lipe. In terms of amenities, you can have great food great cocktails dreamy massages and amazing yoga classes just in the resort, which is amazing if you are into relaxing battery recharging holidays. The bungalow we had was dreamy environmentally friendly and in harmony with the surroundings including the hammocks that we had. Only downsides were that because we were one of the first bungalows which was located few feet away from the bar/restaurant area -which was good whenever we were not sleeping. we had a lot of noise at night if we went to bed before the shutdown of the bar and in the morning due to all the motorbikes entering to pick up or leave customers. Also not much of a seclusion. In addition, since this is one of the pricey resorts we would expect better condition of the towels, as they are overused, quite old and rough. I saw that a lot of people mentioned it but i believe its something that needs to be reviewed asap. Apart from that everyone was quite polite and helpful and provided us with a great experience.

Property was very relaxing and value for the money. Management was less than open and respondent to accident that occurred on property. the UK based owner was more helpful when the guest had to approach him because management did not.. Management reports they have fixed the problem.
