Water was nice. Snorkeling was good. It was nice having a quiet adult pool. Overall it was a great time.

Great boat ride to many of the islands dropping off guests that were spending their day at one of the sister islands. We left the port at 9:00 am and it took 2 hours to get to Castaway Island. It rained most of the day but I was very frustrated that the “ADULTS ONLY” pool was taken over by nearly 20 yelling & screaming kids. When I asked the server why they don’t enforce their rules the guy just shrugged and said that the kids don’t like the kids pool. WTF!!!
The buffet was just okay and the drinks were good but absolutely watered down or very small pours!
Finally one of my biggest complaints was the fact that we got dropped off last AND we were the first ones to get picked up. That means we spent almost as much time getting to and back from Castaway Island as we did actually on the island! We absolutely won’t go back, complete waste of time and money!!

We enjoyed our time at Castaway Island. It's a nice resort far away from Nadi in the Mamanuca island group. The resort itself has a restaurant, gift shop, adult pool area (although families hang out there, which wasn't wonderful), and a kid pool area. The public/common areas of the resort is not that large.
Non-motorized water sports, like kayaks and paddle boards, are available, as well as snorkeling. There's not a large area to do these activities, given the busy water ways.
It's a beautiful island with beautiful views. You certainly get to escape Nadi and the busy port, but a downside is it feels like 2-3 hours of the 9 hour trip are spent on the ferry to/from Castaway Island from Denarau Island. Malamala Beach Club offered the same activities and amenities while only being 25 minutes from Denarau Island.
The staff on the island were friendly, but because it is an actual resort and we were on a day pass, it did feel a bit "Scarlet Letter" being the only ones wearing the colored wristband on the island.
All in all, not the worst place to visit, but there are closer, cheaper, and more relaxing islands, in our opinion.

Boat is a ferry, which cruises from one island to another. Food is buffet. A lot of seagrass, a lot of seacucumbers, not many fishes, staff had smiles, but no understanding of making tourism and hosting. For european people a smile is too little for this price, it was more or less a boattour. And be aware, that Cast-away Island is not the filmset of Castaway with Tom Hanks, thats Monuriki, Castaway is a simple island. Positiv its possible to take sunbeds at the pool. But therefore you dont go to fiji island, right?

My wife and I wanted to experience this popular Mamanuca Island grouping that's the focus of tourism in Fiji. This well organized daytrip, taking 12 hours from our morning bus pickup to the evening dropoff, met that goal.
Our 2014 83' Cougar II Ferry departed full(~200 passengers) at 9AM and made 2 island stops(Serenity & Treasure) with boat to boat transfers, then the dock at Mana before the 12 of our group was transfered to Qalito/Castaway, with a low tide wet landing.
We enjoyed the buffet lunch, walking the paths among their 65 traditionally thatched Fiji style bures/bungalows and swam in the adult/quiet pool.
Our return ferry, boarded dry at high tide, made 2 stops coming back to Denaru, where luggage was sorted with passengers and bused home.
What a full day guided by a competent/friendly staff.
