We loved our stay at Daydream. Great to relax, and also to learn about the reef from the onsite marine biologists. Theyre still rebuilding a little after the cyclone, doesn't impede the quality of your holiday.

Olivia, 4-night trip

Tidy, clean, well maintained. Two dining options, both are very good. So many options for activities and with a choice of several pools you never feel crowded. Lots of bar options and the aquariums are amazing. Great room and views. Transport was very well managed and the staff very friendly and accommodating. We loved it.
Deborah, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff who make you feel very welcome. Good array of activities that are fun as well as educational. Various tasty food options (Dine in and takeaway) that can also be delivered right to your room, and the living reef and native wildlife are fantastic. Ideal for families with young children, great for a romantic getaway.
