Frommer's Review

Castaways is a modest and unassuming hotel that's almost immediately adjacent to the International Bazaar in downtown Freeport. A mix of vacationers and business travelers stay here because of its clean, well-maintained motel-style rooms and moderate prices. Pink-walled, green-shuttered rooms surround a quartet of landscaped courtyards, creating shelter from the traffic outside. It's not on the water, but a free shuttle will take you to nearby Williams Town Beach. Surrounded by gardens, the four-story hotel has an indoor-outdoor garden lobby with a gift shop and kiosks selling island tours and watersports opportunities. Cheerful bedrooms are outfitted in basic motel style. The Flamingo Restaurant presents Bahamian and American dishes daily from 7:30am to 10pm; it also serves one of the island's best breakfasts. There's a swimming pool area with a wide terrace and a pool bar serving sandwiches and cool drinks. A children's playground adjoins the pool.

Facilities:
Restaurant; 2 bars; pool; babysitting; self-service laundry; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
