InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef by IHG

Stunning spot for a holiday the hotel is very nice and relaxing. The pools are great too and this is a perfect place to go if you are looking to switch off for a few days. If you are also into hiking a great walk around the island too. The rooms were clean, modern and spacious. My only tip if you lose your bag be prepared to pay at the resort store for clothing because these guys charge top dollar for non branded clothing which is no surprise on an island like this! I would come back again!

A beautiful slice of paradise with genuinely happy and helpful staff. We experienced most the resort had to offer. The welcome at Hamilton island by the Hayman private boat to the helicopter Whitehaven experience. The 3 restaurants and pool areas all inviting with fantastic service. The fitness centre, boutique shop and Hairdressers add for that extra bit of relaxation. A walk to the top of the island to spot wallabies and take in the spectacular view is breathtaking. A huge thank you to the staff who made this possible. Maya, Marco, willow, Paula, Bella, Aaron, Brittany Wally Bree Javier. Definitely a place to visit

We love the Intercontinental brand and the property on Hayman Island did not disappoint. Although there were some minor hick ups It was a great find and a wonderful experience. We were so excited to stay on an island resort and on first impression after landing on Hamilton Island the yacht pick up was a luxury experience. We were greeted by a steward upon boarding with drinks like Below Deck. It was a great memory. We highly recommend on pre planning and communication with concierge team prior to arrival and coordinating dinner plans and daily excursions. We can see how things get full or sold out and you might be left out, but on the bright side you can turn it into a pool or beach day. The classic marketing picture is fabulous and shows what we feel as the original resort area called the Pool Wing. This area has a great feel, own bar and the lower rooms have pol access outside a patio. You can jump and swim to the bar. Another tip, we booked a one bedroom suite and were placed he newer Lagoon Wing with newer pool etc. These new suites are appointed well, spacious and high tech. we haven't seen the inside of a Pool Wing suite but we recommend the newer side. This area is a bit of a walk from the main areas but it wont bother you. The pool in the lagoon area is new and infinity style with Baja features. This resort is isolated so it has many unique amenities like a game room, beach equipment and 3 larger restaurants and 1 smaller poolside bar food area. Probably the only week spot the resort had was the restaurant service. Not bad but not up to Intercontinental standards. The resort is spaced out well so you will not feel congested with other guests. The views are splendid and the low tide time is unique. You will have to go to find out. The activities are plentiful but can add up or pricey if you do all of them. The must is the Whitehaven Beach day,; the others we liked were the Sea Doo (they call skis) and Fishing charter. Our tip is too prebook activities before arrival via concierge. The Hayman Island experience was definitely worthwhile and staying on an island on the reef gives better access and time to the reef areas versus staying on the mainland. The island team was great: the activities team was very cheerful and customer service was as expected while the resort team was pleasant but reserved is all. Overall 4 plus stars from us.

We’re currently staying at the InterContinental Hayman Island Resort, and it truly feels like paradise. From the moment we arrived, everything has been exceptional - the breathtaking surroundings, the warm and attentive service, and the ease of it all, even with our 6-month-old baby. There’s so much to do and explore as a family. We loved the hike to Pearl Bay with its stunning views, and sailing was an unforgettable experience. The resort is immaculately clean and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind travelling with a baby. While there wasn’t an option to upgrade our room this time, it hasn’t taken away from the experience. The room we have has stunning views and comfortable, and the overall quality of our stay has been outstanding. You honestly don’t need to go to Fiji or Bali - this is world-class resort right here in Australia. The service has been flawless, and the range of dining options is great. Our favourite has been Pacific - their grilled dishes are absolutely top-tier. We’re still here, soaking it all in, and already dreaming about our next visit. Hayman is the perfect mix of natural beauty, comfort, and outstanding hospitality. And huge + for us from those who want to travel here with a baby

Visited again after 15 years and was not disappointed. |Started with transfers to the island from Hamilton Island. 5 star experience with luggage taken and delivered to the room, champagne and snacks on the boat. |Unfortunately we had a room allocated that was not ready but the staff / team there went out of their way to rectify this including a new upgraded room and a free bottle of sparkling. |Ended up staying in a pool access room (which incidentally was the same room type we stayed in 15 years ago). But wow what a difference as the rooms now are more suite like. |Enjoyed the food from restaurants and did a wine makers dinner which was a great night. Breakfast daily was included and had a huge selection of quality food. |We stayed 4 nights but so enjoyable and the days disappeared so quickly. |Again as per our previous visit the staff really made the stay (and the beautiful location). We will be back!

The resort itself was wonderful, you felt looked after from the minute you set food on the catamaran in Airlie to the minute you were sadly dropped off again.|It felt much like being on a cruise, where most staff member acknowledged you in the corridors, the room (suite) was spacious and modern overlooking the pool. The food in all of the restaurants was good, although Amici was by far the best for service. The buffet style breakfast was also superb. Our only complaint was that service in the Pacific for dinner was slack and it would have been nice to have a team of people who worked more professionally towards making you feel welcome, it took 45 minutes for our initial drink, about the same to address a non working heater, the wine that we ordered and knew well, was awful, it had been opened to long and it was replaced, but had there have been someone there that understood wine then this would have never happened. In saying all of that, the steak was superb, but then for $75 you would expect it to be.

I had such a beautiful and peaceful stay at the Intercontinental Resort on Hayman Island, the whole experience was nothing short of amazing. The resort itself is absolutely breathtaking, incredibly clean, and surrounded by stunning views. Everywhere you look is just wow. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with thoughtful touches like a complimentary tote bag and water bottle to use around the island, which I loved, a great eco-friendly initiative that promotes sustainability. The food was another highlight! The breakfast buffet was outstanding, a huge variety from Asian to Western options, with a separate cold buffet and freshly pressed juices. Everything was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully displayed. We also celebrated my birthday at Amici restaurant, where Eddie, the manager, went above and beyond. He helped us find a perfect table, and surprised me with complimentary champagne and cake. He and the staff even came to our table and sang Happy Birthday, it was so special and heartwarming. Another highlight was our time at the spa, which was absolutely heavenly. Huge shoutout to Kobie and Darrian, our masseuses, they took such good care of us. The environment was calming and luxurious, and their massages were absolutely amazing. We walked out feeling relaxed, cared for, and completely recharged. Plus, we were treated to complimentary champagne and snacks afterward, which was a lovely touch. The staff across the resort were genuinely warm, attentive, and made every effort to make us feel welcome and special. Thank you for making my birthday getaway so memorable. I would 100% return and recommend this place to anyone looking for a luxury, peaceful island escape! 🌴✨

We spent a week at Hayman Island which was very relaxing. The staff were amazing everywhere we went. Great to see staff from all around the world and so genuinely passionate about what they were doing. Particularly on the various tours which were all fantastic 👌 The only disappointment was the food, really very average and not worth the prices. The breakfast was great but the other options could really do with a rethink.

Like a well oiled machine, this place is flawless. The experience as a whole from landing on Hamilton all the way to you leaving from Hamilton is taken care of in an excellent way. The few tiny mistakes or hiccups that might occur are covered by the laid back yet enthusiastic all-smiles staff, and shall therefore not be remembered long. If you can't have a magical time here, then something is wrong with you.

The room is run down, the service in all the restaurants is a joke, its full of angry and agressif drug dealers, security don't care. This is a over priced resort which would be lucky to get 4* rating We were in the beach house, at approximately 4000 per night. Nous avons réservez la beach house n10 du mercredi au lundi. L endroit est magnifique, calme, un petit coin de paradis sur terre. Mais quel service .... le plus horrible du monde ! Je peux me suis faite agresser par un dealer de drogue à deux reprises ! Je me suis faite insulter devant le personnel de l hôtel personne n a rien fait ! Cette place est la plus honteuse du monde ! Rien ne fonctionne dans la chambre nous l avons signalé à plusieurs reprises rien n à étè pris en compte. nous avons payé 700$ pour manger sur la plage, un dinner soit disant romantique.... il ne s agit que d une table, deux bougies et un repas sans goût ni saveur. J répète service exécrable ! Cette hôtel est une arnaque totale !

This place is incredible. From the amazing scenery, to all the amazing birds wanting to hang out with you in the island. You're also a helicopter/plane ride away from the Great Barrier Reef, and beautiful sands of Hamilton island. The staff is all very friendly, and helpful. The buffet they serve for breakfast is very good! This is the one place I recommend everyone seeing in their lifetime. It's a dream.

Friendliest staff, unbeatable views and flawless organized hotel! Any room is a treat. A true piece of paradise and I would return any vacation I could.
