I don't know if this is the right place for this question. Has anyone ever booked a vacation with Castaway Travels. If so how safe is it booking with them. Thanks

Yes, to Hidden Beach. The reservation, although started with Castaways actually is handled by American Express vacations. As far as safe goes, we have had no problems.

Hi. I changed the title of your post to reflect what your actual question is.

I have never booked with Castaway myself, so don't have any information about them.

Have used Castaways several times for trips to Hidden Beach, Desire & Caliente Caribe. Great service. On our last trip to Mexico, the transfers to/from the airport to the resort were particularly outstanding. The representative walked with us (and guided us) all the way through to Security.

Castaways Travel is very reputable and we have used them several times. The owners are AANR members and Castaways is an AANR participating business (affiliation when you aren't a club with members)and regular advertiser in the Bulletin. Castaways is their nude travel agency and Fox Travel is their American Express agency in the same office.

We recommend Castaways to our Laguna del Sol and Mira Vista members booking a nude or c/o resort in Mexico and the Caribbean, as they really know their customers and want to make sure they book them into the best place and time for them. They cater to both nudists and lifestyle groups, so will make sure for instance, that they don't book you at a place during a big lifestyle group week when that isn't your preference. We have booked Hidden Beach with them several times and also the former Grand Lido Braco.

You won't have any problems with them. I have used them several times in the past. Zero issues.

We are planning to go in March. Went last year in March and it was great. Weather was perfect and there were about 30 people there. Going to Aruba in May.

We'll be there March 1-8. We booked a package on Expedia. Be sure you try that, we saved about $300 over booking separately.
