Omg where do I start - The resort and swimming pools are great but unfortunately that's where it stops. For the price you pay the staff are all kids that are inexperienced and not really sure if they are a little rude or just poorly managed? Maybe both. One of the nights we had evacuation alarms go off 4 times through the night waking everyone and there children up and tbh it was scary. I spoke to reception in the morning and asked what was going on last night? Her response was what do you mean? I said all the evacuation alarms? She said that always happens do be alarmed 😳 It would have been nice to be told this at check in. Anyway apart from the rude young staff that never knew anything about any questions my partner and I had a great holiday with visiting Airlie beach, the beautiful great barrier Reef, Whitehaven beach and Hamilton island. It probably stay elsewhere next time though.

Had an enjoyable 4 nights and found the place clean and comfortable. The pools are fantastic. I was apprehensive about the dining options but the food tasted absolutely amazing at the two restaurants. We had one night where the emergency alarms went off at least 5 times that we heard. However when asleep it is hard to hear the alarms inside the room. Which wouldn’t be good in an emergency. Staff were all friendly and helpful. It would be great if there was another option of getting to and from the island to Airlie beach and Hamilton island though. Especially in the evenings. We missed out on one of our nights due to ferry leaving ten minutes prior to arrival of the bus after our flight and had to find accommodation elsewhere at last minute. Would totally return to daydream island and absolutely adored the aquariums

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.
