The staff and facilities were amazing. From our friendly arrival to every interaction with staff we were well looked after. Our room was modern and well appointed. The food and beverage options in the restaurants were excellent.

Room with beach view

No room to walk on the beach comfortably You have to book activities to enjoy the actual beach or ocean for swimming

The living reef, the underwater observatory, the 10am fish and reef show, snorkelling at Lovers Cove, the breakfasts were amazing, being on an island with coral beaches - loved it all.

One point was that the glassware and cups and saucers in our room were not clean.

Such a beautiful and aesthetic resort! The room had lots of light and space. The breakfast buffet had a great variety and a lovely aquarium in the dining area. Loved seeing all the wildlife walking around the resort. Every night we were able to watch a movie as there was a really good selection and I also enjoyed the air conditioning when it was super hot.

Paid extra for a ocean view room and was a little disappointed when we got a ground floor room and there was a big bush that cut off a lot of our view as-well. The bathroom vanity didn’t have a mirror on the wall you had to walk over to the other side of the bathroom to look into the mirror. Doing hair and makeup was a struggle. The cups and spoons for tea/ coffee in our room were dirty and there was no coffee provided. There are only two restaurants on the island that you really do need to book for for dinner, it is very expensive but the food was delicious. I would have loved to of been able to order a drink / snacks from the loungers at the pool instead of having to make my way over to the pool bar. I was also abit disappointed when we weren’t allowed to swim in the ocean (lovers cove) unless we had stinger suits on. This came into effect on 1st November. This was not something I was aware of. There is also no room service either if you were wanting to order food to the room you can’t you have to make a take away order from the restaurant and collect it.

Lovely breakfast. Loved the wildlife around the island. Great scenery

Cinema was not on. Not much activities or things to do at night. Pool bar was closed at other end of island.

Beautiful resort to relax and do nothing! The under water observatory and pools around the resort are so beautiful! Very friendly and helpful staff with patience to us tourists. Rainforest walk to the other side was a good small hike in the nature. Jet ski and Kayak tour was a lot of fun! Really enjoyed our stay in resort.

The restaurants - Inkstone was the only other option than Infinity restaurant at night that guests can eat. Food was horrible, pasta dishes were way too salty and the burger was not cooked at all and cold. We have waited for an hour without any other choice and hungry. Two pieces of small plain bread with a bow of canned olives without oil/balsamic vinegar to dip was $18. Service was very good as the wait staff did they best and we were given a discount towards our horrible experience. Pizzas and salads were ok to eat. We would suggest the cooks should try their own food as they were not experienced in cooking and they should stick with easy to make dishes like salads and pizzas only.

Location and convenience to visit the Great Barrier Reef.

Staff sometimes not so friendly. Feel like they were overwhelmed working in less people than necessary.

the location was beautiful and it was very relaxing

the hotel needed a little bit of maintenance

Lovely, well maintained resort and very well priced compared to other Whitsunday Islands. We were upgraded to an ocean view which had a stunning view! Breakfast was excellent with a great selection, staff were all helpful and friendly and there was ample room by the many pools to sit back and relax. Views were gorgeous! We particularly enjoyed the living reef, a great place to visit daily and just watch the sea life, and loved the sunset drinks at Lovers Cove, too. The perfect spot for a relaxing family holiday - we'll definitely return.

As others have mentioned, food options are not as plentiful as we would've ideally liked. While there were three lovely restaurants, only one served lunch and two dinner, which became a tad repetitive. While it was great to see kangaroos and wallabies on the island, it was concerning to watch them eating napkins, straws and alcoholic drinks left by the pool. For a resort that prides itself on being 'eco', this seemed anything but. There was no signage or education for tourists around this issue and drinks sat by the pool for hours, enticing animals to eat food/ drinks. It would be nice to see the resort caring for its land animals as well as its marine.

Clean modern rooms with amazing views. Most things are included in your room fee which is really good. Things are not insanely expensive like we were expecting. Pools were so good! Plenty to do and see and restaurants were very good.

The building seems to be getting a bit run down, needs a bit of love. Buffet brekky was a bit average in the quality of food. (Other restaurants were amazing!) The birds that come in are a bit annoying.

Breakfast was awesome !!!

Needed more to do at the resort

location whitsundays are beautiful

old and dated, a lot of staff didn’t know basic things like for example location of restaurants when asked. no room service only limited restaurants, it felt like this resort had no soul at all , bed was average overall I wouldn’t recommend this resort at all.

common areas of the hotel not very clean, chairs spread out, without organization.

Breakfast was absolutely enjoyable, such variety.

Our room had a very musty smell. Probably could be rectified with simply running a diffuser.

Everythimg was exceptional

None

Environment of being on an island

Some facilities not open. No bottled water ( complimentary) in fridge, no jetskiing on Saturday.

The sheer beauty of the place is hard to describe

The pace of everything is rather hectic, some staff can be a bit militant and if you have to come and go as we did because of work then you are viewed with suspicion,

Loved everything about Daydream Island resort. The staff were amazing. Mangers did an amazing job covering all areas of the facility. We didn't feel lost as there was always staff around to help. Housekeepers are the best, super friendly and always had our beds made cleaned daily. Restaurant staff always working hard to get our food served. I cannot fault this place as it is well managed and on point with everything it advertised. Wished we stayed longer.
