A cafe serving sandwiches and salads for lunch would be a great addition. The gardens, pools and buildings are really well maintained, with lovely walks around the Island. An enjoyable 4 night stay!

Lovely resort. Some nice features in particular the Living Reef and underwater observatory, both free. Rooms are large clean and well appointed. Still a few naintenance issues, eg, mould on outside of windows and on verandah walls. Inside generally maintained well. Lovers Cove a great place to sunbakw, swim and snorkel. Well protected from any SE prevailing winds.

Cold

We were extremely unlucky with weather, it was rain and strong winds during our stay. Unfortunately heater option was locked in my hotel room. Working fans were everywhere in common areas so there was also cold. This is not the best place for snorkeling. It is better to take tours to outer reef from here. The island itself is beautiful and hotel is great, many pools, reef, comfy mattresses, great views. Wallaroos, cockatoos, curlews everywhere, they all are so funny.

Disappointment Island :( Have previously been to Daydream Island twice and it was fantastic. Thought we would bring our Teens back to show them but what an absolute disappointment. Purchased a Superior Pool Side Room thinking we would have direct pool access like the photos. when we arrived you couldn't even see the pool the gardens are so overgrown and there is no access to pool, not worth the extra money. The rooms smell mouldy. The curtains have mould on them, the doonas and pillows all have mould and the horrible queen size beds are just full of urine stains and massive patches of black mould. Not to mention old innerspring mattress was like sleeping on the floor. We requested a room change and were declined twice, saying they had nothing available. But multiple rooms were empty. Food is average in the restaurants and not worth the price tag. The island is in major need of a overhaul as one end all the buildings are boarded up it's like a ghost town with a pool in the middle. Even the staff say it's not the same since it was sold in 2015 to the Chinese. Unfortunately Daydream Island is not worth WASTING your money. Rooms are dirty, mouldy, Tv's don't work, Sliding doors to balcony don't open, Food expensive and not great. Gardens overgrown over the paths so it's a little scary with snakes and the big Goanna's. Maintenance Staff blow the paths to clear the leaves and Kangaroo Poo but it just gets blown onto the garden or as we saw in the pool. Avoid at all cost.

6/10 Okay

No cash allowed to be used anywhere, only 2 restaurants as nice as they were. 1/2 the island is abandoned, one tiny place to amoke or vape. No room serves. It is an old resort, but us beautifully tropical It was very relaxing, but not worth the money
