Guest Report

[Sara Rahlff]

We had a brilliant two weeks at Castara Retreats in May.
Hummingbird 1 has a wonderful view of the bay and beach and we spent a great deal of time watching the boats go in and out, the stingrays crossing the bay, the birds coming to feed or the sun go down over the sea. The apartment had everything we needed, including an outdoor as well as an indoor shower. Every few days it was cleaned and the sheets and towels changed, which was great given the climate. Porridge, Jeanelle, and their team made sure we knew how to get anything we needed, including food and excursions, and Carrington the gardener was lovely in supplying fruit fresh from the garden.
We especially appreciated Porridge taking the time one evening to come let us all know that a leatherback turtle had come up to nest on the beach. Not everywhere cares about its guests that much☺ On the final day, having shower and changing facilities made all the difference after the beach when preparing for the long flight home.
Castara itself is a lovely location – the beach and snorkelling are great and the people very friendly in the nicest way. We travelled the island but could happily have spent most of our time just in the village.
We will definitely be back as soon as possible.
