We booked to stay at Lanta Castaway for 3 nights and loved it that much we extended our stay a further 2 nights. myself and 4 adult friends went to Thailand for 2 weeks and Malasia for a couple of days and Castaway was our favourite accomodation!! We stayed in the Deluxe Bungalows, they were immaculate and spacious, with a... more

I almost want to give a bad review of the Castaway just so it remains the "Diamond in the rough" that it is! Then I realized I couldn't do that to Darrin and his excellent crew @ the castaway. My wife and I had a fabulous time on Koh Lanta. The island itself is very magical. Very easy to find... more

Just back from 2 weeks in Thailand and spent 10 nights at Lanta Castaway, I am so glad we booked in advance. We were lucky enough to witness the Thai new year, brilliant fun - just a massive waterfight with the entire island and the staff!! The resort is on a cosy patch of land on Long Beach - great... more

My Boyfriend and I absolutely loved this place, and found it very hard to leave. We had read some reviews online before booking on Sawadee.com and it sounded like it was a good place. We expected it would be decent, but were surprised as how nice the place really was. The food was always good, and the staff was friendly... more

Like many of the other reviews, I am hesitant to give this place such a glowing review because we don't want to make it difficult to book when we return, but Lanta Castaway is an amazing hotel on Koh Lanta and I had promised Daren to write when I returned! The individual bungalows are perfectly appointed for the price and... more

Darren, Nit and all the staff made us feel welcome and we spent some (a lot of) quality time at the Beach bar – fresh mango juice and double vodka’s all the way! The bungalow we stayed in was well above standard and the food is... more

We stayed at Castaway for 4 weeks and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The resort has been thoughtfully designed and the mix of Thai and Western themes work well together. The resort is spacious with lots of plants and greenery. Darrin and Nit were super hosts who made us feel very welcome - always available for a chat and to assist in... more

Very nice staff alround and owner manager the perfect host!!! Thai food at resort very good, tex mex good too!! I will follow up... more

I'm loathe to spread the word on how nice this place is, as I'd like to keep it secret, but in fairness to the owner, must concur with all the other positive reviews. Had a magical four nights here, and delighted the place lived up to its reviews. The resort is well laid out, bungalows/villa's confortable and nice design touches.... more
