Advantages: Quality hotel at affordable price Disadvantages: Not on the beach
it's one of the cheap-flight routes out of my local airport and, um, I felt like it. I chose to stay at the BestWestern Castaways Resort in Freeport on Grand Bahama island because of the big brand name and the price - for the equivalent of a Liverpool Travelodge I could
stay at an upscale hotel in paradise.
The hotel is exterior corridor, but more secure than some because to
get to those corridors you have to pass through the lobby and swipe through a
door. The rooms are spread over 4 floors with the best being on the ground
floor - these are mainly suites with fridges, sofas and private terraces. I was
in a regular room on the 3rd floor, and had a mini balcony which was barely

Below the Island is the Towan beach which is a popular family beach and one where dogs are welcome too which isn't the case with all beaches. When the tide is out you can clamber onto the rocks where there are small rock pools for the kids to investigate and there is even a small cave. There is a seating area where you can get something to eat and hire boogie boards etc and a lifeguard on duty during the summer months. The Blue Reef Aquarium is also situated here where you can see all manner of aquatic life from crabs to sharks . There is also an upstairs cafe in here where you have a marvelous view of the surrounding area.
Sitting on the green above the beach you have a very good vantage point to ...
