Loved every bit of it. The transfer from Hamilton island to the daydream island location is a dogs breakfast. Very limited information on this and also can not rent a cart at the airport.

the resort needs renovation. The staff is very young and has little experience. The two restaurants must be booked otherwise only take away. The menu is very clear, but very expensive. I think if you want to do Whitsundays it's better to invest a little more and go to Haymen Island

10/10 Exceptional

The resort was amazing. Loved the open air aquarium and underwater observatory. Staff were lovely and friendly. Only 1 small mistake, we booked 2 x to go fishing which was confirmed by email but when they went to go only one was booked. Bit disappointing as 1 missed out. We paid 2 x booking fee but did only pay for one to fish

We enjoyed our 4 night stay. I do feel there needs to be more healthier food options available. Possibly the balconies need a Gurney. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay!!

10/10 Exceptional

Not too busy. Did not have to fight for a poolside beach chair. Kids met other kids and found things to do. Fantastic. Room cleaned daily if wanted. If not - $10 credit applied to end of stay bill. Good incentive. Great food. Only thing noticed many times that was a little annoying was when getting a drink / coffee shop service or paying front desk bill - only one person serving. Take order. Make coffees. And have to wait. . Ok if you were not in a hurry for tours or just wanting quicker customer service. Overall. Great though.

The pools aren’t heated so keep that in mind There’s no sign at the spa to not put your head under water so tonnes of unsupervised kids in there diving under the water splashing it in your face The staff are kind and helpful There’s no room service and only 2 restaurants and you have to book to get into the cheaper dining Kids eat free was very helpful though The food gets repetitive after a week of being there The breakfast wasn’t that must different choices It’s a great place to unwind though Note the beaches aren’t sand anymore it’s covered in coral unlike what I read online so make sure you get coral shoes

6/10 Good

The property is good for a relaxing break however, the restaurants didn’t provide clean food eg, grilled fish and salad. The fish on the menu had Asian greens drowned in sauces. Otherwise the property overview is good and apparently it ticks a lot of boxes for many families.
