Booked last min, felt that the pricing for the accommodation was reasonable for the last min price. Pools were ok, I looked the Sealife for the kids, they loved it. One side of the island was obviously better, the island needs some more investment and could be a much better destination than say even Hamilton Island that I spend x5 days on prior to coming to Daydream and though it was nice, daydream has a lot more accessible coast-line that could be used better and more wisely. I could write a lot more on this, the island has so much under utilized potential.
Special honorably mention to the Asian/Fusian Restaurant (The upstairs one), 90% Food was amazing, and the dishes that were a hit was really good.
It's a nice touch, though the pricing for the Adult meals are on the expensive side, the kids meals being fee makes the value proposition work nicely.
Breakfast was good overall also, 6.5-7/10, would be hard to cater for a lot of people... You should review our Asian hotels and resorts do it, simple, fresh and Australia has some of the best produce in the would so you can really make something really great here.
The convenience store needs to be better and have more options for food, Groceries and Pharmacy supplies etc.
The Restaurants 1/3 were good, the external Pup-style/Pizza food was average, and the Birds and Seagulls also make it for a very unpleasant eating experience.
The Mexican food and the inner bar area inside was very average, My kids love Mexican food, they love Narcho's and Taco etc.. both would not eat what we were served and I don't blame them as it was very bad.. and then there was not much options after that to feed the kids something healthy without going to another restaurant.

The view, staff and venue were fantastic
The food was questionable. There are two main restaurants, ground floor was just your normal dining area. Upstairs was supposed to be the " finer "dining experience. Would not recommend the Upstairs restaurant at all. What we ordered was somewhat uneatable. The fish of the day had us wondering from which day.

The pool options and having everything you needed on the island. Could pay at the time or charge to room.
Service for drinks and food was quite slow. $25 for a cocktail but had to wait 10minutes for it to be made, even when it was just us at the bar. The pool bar was understaffed and after waiting 15-20minutes to get served, the cocktails were disappointing. Basically juice and ice. Best classic cocktails we had were by Juan at the Tonic Bar.
Upon arrival, we were only told about the key locations, pools, restaurants, our room and how to access the south side of the island. We had to keep exploring ourselves to find Lovers Cove and where to access the rainforest walk. The map only showed so much in terms of where everything was; no directions on going through certain buildings to get there.
A bit more variety across the different restaurants would have been nice. Same overpriced cocktails and nothing too special about the food. Dinner at Infinity was nice and was the quickest service we had. Nice views for a sunset dinner. It was more of a share plate style, though wasn’t really obvious until after we ordered.
Overall a good relaxing stay, but would have been nice to feel wanted as guests instead of avoided.

We didn’t have time to explore the hotel as we only stopped for the night due to flight cancellation.
