A map of the island might be helpful , rather than just a digital map

Staff were so lovely and accommodating when I accidentally left some items behind - they kindly transported them back on the ferry

Staff were average apart from Rebecca! Food in restaurants was average. Dirty hallways and rainsodden carpets. The food especially breakfast was very poorly presented

The view and location

Got a room upgrade to a king deluxe sea view when we checked in Restaurants and pool so close by Underwater observatory was incredible Wildlife freely roaming around the grounds

The food isn’t the same standard as Hamilton Island. Some things were done really well. It was very hard to find healthy choices with the two restaurants. Lots of fried food at the Asian restaurant (Infinity). Pizza, hamburgers and chips at Salti’s.

Great location and activities. Wonderful staff. The living reef snorkel was an unexpected highlight!

That it wasn’t super kid friendly- lunch not open till 12 most children eat around 11/11:30 and the baby chinos didn’t come with lids. And sadly it was the same breakfast options each day. Fruit not that fresh

Loved the pools and all the fishes

Stayed in November 2024

Pool was very cold

Kids dine, water craft activities, paint and sip

Stayed in October 2024

not much to do, one pool closed and not advised before booking. No music , all activities are water related , extra charge for water activities. Lunch and dinner options are limited to 2 restaurants. Beaches are very small , all corals and hard to walk.

boring

Prices, it is a remote location and with that comes additional costs. Make sure you allow for this in your budget because everything will cost you more, small example a bottle was water was $6. It a beautiful place and absolutely worth visiting just do your research before you book :)

Beautiful location the perfect place to unwind, relax and do nothing. Highlight is the wildlife and stunning views.

Would be good to open the breakfast buffet as an evening buffet to give more food options

Pure relaxation

The breakfast was good, but for me the only problem is the diversity of the breakfast. I would say on the last day I started to get bored with the breakfast because it is always the same everyday. Most of resorts would change the breakfast every day or every 2 days so people don't get bored with it. The staff were really caring and very nice to talk to. I would say that, for the price (value for money) I would have expected an elevated experience compared to what I did. E.g. the barefoot bar, was okay, but needed more staff to cope with the amount of people waiting to order drinks - and there were not a big variaty of drinks. Also near the pool, would have been insteresting a QR code to order drinks and a waiter or waitress deliver the drink for you at the pool - this is what I mean by value for money. Another thing is - some of the activities were only possible to do on specific days, which is fine - but I think the variaty of ativities could be increased so guests are able to do more of the activities if they want and split the queue for those. E.g. There are only one activity per time slot - instead of for example, 2 different activities at the same time. This would give guests more options to do things and potentially enjoy the resort even more with more options. I couldn't do the Sailing activity, as there were only 2 boats, and many people to do it (and classes were only on weekends). Last but not least is the location - while it is in a very seclude location where you can enjoy the peaceful island, it is hard to get to the region activities (you need to keep booking the ferry to the continent or to Hamilton Island) to go to the external activities, and there are limited time slots that the ferry goes to the island - so you need to keep in mind the extra cost of the ferry and the limited time slots to go back and from the island.

I like that is very calm and isolated place - you can enjoy the island and chill. There are a lot of activities you can do during your stay and the staff are very caring to your well being. I loved that we got a very warm welcome and directions when we arrived at the resort. Infinity Restaurant was delicious.

Not much to dislike, maybe more outdoor movie nights for bigger kids not just kids

The laid back atmosphere, a very relaxing time, everything was so clean and tidy

We weren't advised that one part of Daydream was out of action and the food was extremely expensive in the restaurants. If they had some simpler options ie a standard fish n chips etc, that would have been fantastic. $66 for reef fish n chips is over the top and some nights, no fish at all.

What a wonderful part of the world. The view over the beautiful Whitsunday Islands was second to none. The buffet breakfast was brilliant.

Need more food options for quick lunches - eg sell pre-made wraps at tonic or barefoot bar. Think about where people are placed accomodation wise e.g had a pram so it was quite confusing to get to room, had to go up a level, change lift and then down a level.

We loved the living reef, the food at infinity and the fact that it’s the whole island!

Nothing bad to say

It was very relaxing

I stayed with my two kids and husband, we only had sleeping beds for 3 because of a problem with the aircon. One of my sons had to sleep on the couch.

Breakfast and the pool was amazing. The location is spectacular.

Poor restaurant quality. Expensive. Not enough complimentary activities

Exclusivity. Good breakfast buffet

Some parts were a bit run down but may still be under renovation after the storm damage.

Room was clean and very nice.

A cushier, softer bed would have made it a 10 out of 10 stay!

We were on Daydream Island for one night for the Whitsunday Tourism Awards. The venue itself was glorious, the event was great, and the team on Daydream Island superb!

The shower needed a shelf. Small ants in the kitchen. Needed better pillows. Hot food at buffet wasn’t fresh.

The shower & balcony. Would be perfect to have a small corner store

Friendly staff, breakfast, location

Food is overpriced. I wish the quality meet the price then I wouldn’t have minded so much. Only 2 dinner restaurants on the island and the other half of the island was closed for maintenance.

Proper island vibes. Lots to do inside and outside. Living reef is beautiful and a great view from every room. Snorkeling at Lovers cove was small but lots of fish to see. Sunset at lovers cove was beautiful. Get involved with the trivia and bingo as it’s a great way to meet other people staying on the island. Bring your own snacks and drinks to save some money.

Facilities are lovely but in some areas somewhat dated. Check-in took a long time, and while we realise check-in is mid-afternoon, to enable rooms to be cleaned, we were booked onto a ferry arriving mid-morning and had a long, humid wait. Accessing services and food/drink was a little hit and miss during this time because most operate on a room number booking process. Once we were checked in, the experience was very positive (bar the usual limited access to lounges poolside because many guests reserve them early with towels etc and then don't necessarily stay and utilise the space).

Location is beautiful and service was great. The food experience was terrific, from what was on offer at the buffet breakfast, to the fine dining provided at the restaurants. The premises is nice but is clearly still being upgraded (and in need of upgrading and updating). The resort end of the island is lovely, but it was a shame that the other end, where additional pool facilities and activities are located were not all operational.

Minor thing. The shops were very low in stock, limited sizes styles of clothing. Snorkelling was great at Lovers Cove however the equipment was in short supply sometimes. Please spend a few $ to buy a few more snorkels and fins.

Fantastic resort, pools. Such a great place to chill and a launching pad to the Whitsundays. Loved the living reef, was a real surprise and so well done.

The end of the island that caters for water sports had the pool closed for resurfacing so it was green and fenced off. The buildings in that area are also boarded up. Assuming it may have been a result of the cyclone years ago and hasn’t had a chance to be fixed yet. The dinner food at Graze restaurant wasn’t great

Our room was clean, modern and situated above the aquarium which was perfect for our daughter. The mains pools were great and the underwater aquarium was a lot of fun! Infinity & Salti restaurants had delicious food and great views. Lovers cove was the perfect spot for sunset

The restaurants on the island are amazing! Loved the living reef and swim up pool bar.
