Creator's Key Takeaways

We booked this relatively late for us. We booked this in midepptember, guys, for Christmas selling.

I didn't buy the internet. We were really into just relaxing.

It was a beautiful thing so they said it was because of projected high winds so we appreciate that they were they were forwardlooking there.

If you can get them and if it's in your budget, do it because we've been to Castaway a lot, and it was a really different way to experience it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book cabanas through guest services if sharing with another party not traveling with you.
Rope drop the cabana day to maximize your time.
If you need multiple internet devices, buy one package and share the login to save money.
