Daydream Island

Rob and Di here. Just thought we would send you a few words on our recent holiday. A few people stood out with thier bubbly personalities, not to take away from all staff we met on our stay. The whole facility was enjoyable. I personally had not been there diving on the reef and enjoying the area with my young family since about 1996. I'm knocking 70 now Di about the same. A shout out to these people for thier friendly and proffessional services. Emerson. Waitress Wayne yardy. Nevaeh / waitress from cooma Sami/ desk Elissa French girl Front desk staff and all we met. And BO..👉👍🇦🇺🌊💨 😊😆 We had a blast. Thankyou all. Kind regards

Its a beautiful place with amazing and friendly staff. The only down side is there is no AC in restaurants and lobby, there is no room service and due to humid weather and storms there is water damage signs in corridors. In totall we enjoyed our stay and made great memories.

So sad. Booked 5 rooms for our annual family holiday. Confirmed months ago as superior ocean view rooms close together. Arrived and were allocated standard rooms. No explanation at check in and we did not know until we went to our rooms. Reception blamed the back office. Unable to move us as they were full! Three of the five rooms had issues with either air conditioning or tv. Multiple calls and visits to reception to have fixed. They gave us a $200 credit in compensation. I did not want compensation I wanted Superior Ocean view rooms as per our written confirmation. It just appears they are on a tight budget as they are slowly attending to repairs and maintenance. One staff told me that they wait until it breaks down before they do anything. Food at Infiniti was superb with Salti a close runner up. Dinner buffet is a miss not a great deal of options. Breakfast was okay, consistency an issue. Staff were mainly friendly. Appeared to be a lot of backpackers from all over the world front of house. Will not go back unless things improve significantly.

I stayed at Daydream Island for 9 days and honestly, I expected better. There are a few good things: the aquarium is impressive, and the marine biologists are absolutely amazing. Their passion and knowledge really shine through, and they take excellent care of the marine life. The restaurant staff were also friendly and hardworking. However, if you’re coming here to relax in your room, think twice. Housekeeping drags furniture around all day, every day!! It was impossible to take a nap or just enjoy some peace and quiet. We were also given a room where the bed was missing a leg, so it wasn’t even level. The shower head wouldn’t stay in place either, which made it frustrating to use. As for the restaurant, the food options were very limited and quite overpriced. Overall, this resort did not live up to expectations. I would not return, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for value or rest. If you want to spend your money wisely, go elsewhere.

We had a good little 3 night stay at Daydream island. Was lovely to get away to the warmth and beautiful scenery. Staff were great, friendly and very accommodating. Kids club not open a lot of the time , resort side of island is well maintained and pretty. Downfalls are Not enough options of food, all drinks so expensive (beer $10,cocktails $24, Smirnoff ice $12, soft drink $5), and not many options for snacks. Highly recommend to bring snack for the stay. Lovers cove, needs a lot of maintenance, however, beautiful sunset. Sunset beach could be GREAT, but again needs a lot of love. Good free water sports available from 9am-2pm only, needs longer operating hours. Overall a lovely stay, 3 nights is enough.

Beautiful hotel on Hamilton Island with stunning ocean views. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. Loved seeing animals including the unique Bush Stone-curlew birds. 🪶🦘 Highly recommended!🤩🤩

I spend a wonderful day on the island, walking along the rainforest path and snorkeling. I met up with a manta ray there! It had purple spots on its back and when I asked if I could go for a ride it said “jump on”—I woke up. It was a dream.

Awesome Island, been here 30 years ago and back again for our anniversary, We loved every moment of our time, from 1st day arriving on the Island we were greeted with friendly staff who were superb to the last day. All Staff exceeded expectations. We had great morning buffet and great dinner at restaurants. Can't forget Will bartender who has been Awesome with his cocktails .
