InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef by IHG

Loved the spot , water and weather was great. Staff were excellent and quite and great facilities for a romantic week away, Breakfast and dinner included.

only thing that I didn't like was the cost of extra things to do were very high,

We upgraded to the Pool Access One Bedroom Suite, which was expensive, but I'm really glad we did. Having our own deck directly onto the pool, with the convenience of our own food, drinks and bathroom, was a real bonus. We weren't there for an action-packed holiday; we simply wanted to relax by the pool, and the suite was perfect for that. I'd read some mixed reviews about the food, but we actually enjoyed Bam Bam and the breakfasts were also pretty good. Lastly, the staff throughout the resort were fantastic. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Unfortunately, the Under the Stars dining experience, which I booked specially for our wedding anniversary, was very expensive and, sadly, one of the worst dining experiences we've had in a long time. For what we paid, we could have enjoyed a Michelin-starred restaurant. It was a real disappointment on what was supposed to be a special evening. To their credit, management bent over backwards to try to put things right and acknowledged that the experience had let us down. The cost of everything was very expensive.

Everything!!! The view the staff the amenities, the pools the food and again that view is outstanding

The only thing that would improve it would be an adult only pool. We seemed to be near the most intolerable children when we went to the pool, and probably worse parents

Location and scenery are stunning. Bed was super comfortable. Good amenities. Has a relaxing vibe. Beautiful water. Gym was large and had 2 Pilates beds. Boat transfer was smooth and luxurious.

Resort is run down and tired. Lots of maintenance required especially at the big pool. Our bath was rusted and outdoor shower needed maintenance. Many kids at resort as they do “kids eat free”. Resort is promoted as a nice place for couples but there are no adult only areas. Waited way too long to be seated at bam bam and amici. Unacceptable. Gym needs attention with broken equipment. Not allowed to use Hayman lounge at airport on departure, but left at the airport way too early yet you can’t check in before 3pm at hotel either. Needs to be earlier if you have check out at 10am. There is a language barrier with staff, every drink order was incorrect.
