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 its 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 on-site kiosks selling island tours and watersports venues. Cheerful bedrooms are outfitted in your basic motel/tropical resort style. The Flamingo Restaurant features 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.
