Amazing stay. Highly recommended. Staff were so friendly.

As you are in an Island , you have to rely on their food options and restaurant, this would be shocking when you have a child and been told the food is finished or all the tables have been reserved! they should know how many guest on the Island to ensure the variety and enough food in reasonable prices available for everyone.

Main areas of resort were beautiful, however the south end of the island needs renovations and bar wasn’t open. Buffet dinner was a letdown from what was advertised and ran out of dessert within an hour. Shower head in room needs replacing terrible pressure. Staff were helpful and friendly.

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025

8/10

Positives- Staff worked really hard and were helpful. Bingo and trivia were fun. Negatives- Unheated pool in winter. Wind cancelled activities leaving nothing to do. Dirty chair and curtains in our room. Staying for a week but didn't top up bathroom supplies. Shutters moudly in dining area. Terrible options for lunch. Too expensive to travel to mainland or hamilton for a daytrip. Half the island isn't used but has so much potential.
Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025

6/10

Daydream island falls short of its full potential. Half of the island is unutilised which is a shame as it has everything pools, shop and canteen. What was even more outrageous was 2 out of 3 restaurants ran out of food 2 nights in a row.! They say not to bring outside food but I would suggest to pack food before you go. This place is designed for people who want to do nothing at all during the day and have an early night watching tv in bed as there’s nothing to do after dinner.

Small island, relaxing & not a lot to do on the island if your not into swimming pools, limited Dining options, menu should change every couple of nights for more variety - but very central & great spot to do day excursions to other islands.

A great resort to relax and play. Despite the rough weather, we could still move around the resort easily; we checked out the rainforest walk, fed wallaroos and admired the underwater reef. Lots of nature all around. The cleanliness of the rooms were not consistent, depending who was doing it, sometimes the floor was not cleaned. That was the downside as we went to Airlie Beach after Daydream Island the the hotel hygiene and cleanliness were 10x better. The customer service from staff was lacking - upon check out at 8.30am on Monday 30th June, I had the front service staff huff in her breath when I kindly asked to view my invoice before making the final payment. My sister in law also had bad customer service when she waited for her coffees, only to find out they were ready and 'sitting there' while the 3 staff/barista were busy chatting away. The welcome process was great unfortunately the great customer service did not follow through.
