Cabana 1 is for handicapped use.
The water may be better, a little deeper that is, in front of the lower numbers.
The concierge building is behind #7.
The new restrooms are around #14.
The lower numbers are closer to food and the other activities.
I guess my answer is; the lower the better.
Castaway Cay may need some work after the storm, so all of this may be moot. We'll see.
We just had #2 this Summer and I really liked it! It was close to Cookies Too, and close to the restroom. It was a little too close to the public beach for my liking, but we just wandered down further to play in the water. We LOVED the cabana!
Here is a few from the path walking down to the beach
Further down the beach in the higher numbers you are in front of this lagoon type area, which looks nice, but the water was not deep at all, and kind of gross (the sand was weird and slimy in the water there). Excuse the handstand lol
