Beautiful location but no atmosphere nothing to do in the evening! Food is terrible and extremely overpriced! 70% staff were rude, everything was to much if you asked for assistance! JetSki ride and staff amazing worth doing! Rooms were large but the toilet roll Holder was broken, no rail to get in and out of the shower (bath shower) house keeping didn’t clean our room daily like we asked and we had to go to reception for clean towels and toilet paper! With so many pools not one life guard! I wouldn’t recommend this resort as it’s lifeless and boring!

Just back from a wonderful stay at Daydream Island resort! 🌴 The living reef experience was incredible - snorkeling among the coral and marine life was a highlight of my trip 🐠🐳. The resort's location is perfect, and the multiple pools offer a great spot to relax 🌊. The aquatic life on the island is amazing, with plenty of fish and other creatures to spot. One thing that was a bit of a letdown was the spa treatment - decent options, but quite expensive. While my overall experience was great, I did find a few things missing - no all-inclusive meal and drinks option, no steam or sauna, and no mini bar in the rooms. These additions would take the resort to the next level and make it even more enthralling. Still, I highly recommend Daydream Island for its beauty and charm. With a few tweaks, it could be truly unforgettable!

I loved the staff were lovely and the pools and facilities were pretty good . The rooms weren’t the cleanest and the bathrooms needed some Maintanence I understand it’s an island and the humidity plays a factor but I paid for an ‘upgraded’ ocean view room and it wasn’t the greatest. I think the most important factor that isn’t great for the hotel is the lack of food options / no room service or ability to take back anything other than pizza , chips or about 3 things off the menu . Which was hard as we have kids and one of them goes to bed at 7.30. The variety wasn’t great you get sick of eating the same things for lunch and dinner after a couple of days especially if they weren’t great when you had them the first time. The buffet breakfast was also really good. There was nothing in the rooms like a mini bar so I couldn’t purchase anything to eat or drink from there but the island said you were not allowed to bring food from outside the island . The rule needs to change as I wasn’t able to bring anything I couldn’t get fresh milk for my little girl to drink overnight and my kids didn’t eat fruit or vegetables for 4 days . At home we eat cucumber / carrots / bananas / salads avocado ect daily. So I think overall it’s nice to see but I wouldn’t return and the other part of the island really needs some work.

Overall great holiday but limited menu at only two restaurants. Would be better if menu changed over the week. Needed a store to buy fresh fruit, snacks, etc. Buildings overall pretty tired. Smell of sewerage at one end of island which meant walking far was not enjoyable. The rainforest walk we had to hold our noses for half of it! One end of island so underdeveloped and almost eery...like a cyclone hit it and it has been left untouched. Staff were not overly friendly. Pool areas lovely. It was very very quiet which was the biggest plus and felt like you were on the island on your own. Loved all the nature and wallabies roaming around.

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.

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.

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.
