Loved every bit of it. The transfer from Hamilton island to the daydream island location is a dogs breakfast. Very limited information on this and also can not rent a cart at the airport.

Very limited dining. Certainly not a menu to please everyone. Lighter lunch options required as menu doesn’t really change dinner to lunch.

Felt a little too isolated. Wish there were more options for those staying on the island to be able to get out off the island without the expensive transfers. After 2 nights we were ready to leave. The weather unfortunately didn't help and the pool was extremely cold so that was out of the question. Restaurants book out well ahead so the first night was wasted eating takeout.

6/10 Good

The tanks and open waterways that displayed tropical fish was really great. The dining options are very limited, breakfast area was always full of birds both walking around and flying around which was unhygienic. Birds were stealing food off the tables and the buffet area. The staff were unconcerned and unbothered. Everything needed a bit of work, from rusted table legs through to aging facilities.

So expensive to stay here, it was ok but not for the mo ey we had to pay. Staff rarely cracked a smile, mostly young and miserable. Coffee desk sighed a few times and they were very very slow, no sense of urgency, even greeted us once by saying “what do you want” followed by a sigh. Swimming pools freezing. Had to ask constantly for fresh towels and to empty bins in room. Gave you 2 coffee pods at the beginning and they never got topped up, we had to ask for more to be delivered, the room team don’t top them up, only avail at reception. Breakfast very average, but you could find something that might stop you from being hungry. Balcony furniture falling apart and had been stuck with chewing gum at one point! Good to hear about the living reef, that was a free talk. Lovers Cove lovely and relaxing and sheltered from the wind. Takeaway lunchtime pizza was very expensive $30 for a 10” - greasy and really not nice, way too sickly, seems one step up from a frozen one. Intensity restaurant - tried to make it upper class but fail miserably with it being full of screaming kids, tables / cutlery not properly cleaned and over powering food / fish smells. 3 days maximum there I would say, we stayed 5 nights and found it to be too long, but it is personal preferences. Take food for lunches / dinner etc to help out. You can’t even buy a sandwich anywhere for lunch. The room has a fridge kettle and coffee pod machine. We also took paper plates and reusable cutlery as there’s nothin

It’s my second time staying at Daydream Island Resort. The ocean view from our rooms were breathtaking, and we spent many hours just soaking in the beauty of the ocean at our balcony. The clean and comfort of the room exceeded our expectations. The pools were as nice and enjoyable as we remembered. The breakfast was great with abundant varieties. Dinner at both Infinity and Salti were fantastic. We again had a wonderful stay at this resort!

Has potential needs to be managed properly.
Beautiful island, nice hotel. Very poorly run. Two outrageously expensive restaurants with limited menu. Nothing to do as it all closes at 3. Walked to back of island water sports closed by 3. Would not recommend.
