Reviews of Daydream Island Resort

A hotel I really love. The island is small, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk to the very end. It's rich in wildlife, with lots of sulphur-crested cockatoos, kangaroos, and more. The ferry to the island is right outside the Hamilton Island airport. I will definitely stay here again next time.

After traveling around Australia for over two weeks, this island and hotel truly stood out as the most satisfying experience. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful scenery and offers its own pool, kayaks, and snorkeling (all free!). There's also a small ecological pond. The restaurant is built over water teeming with fish, and you can spot many different bird species. The hotel's front desk has an activity booking service where you can inquire about many paid excursions (I booked a helicopter tour), and the Great Barrier Reef is absolutely stunning. Just a heads-up: you need to book the ferry in advance. The round-trip fare is about 600 yuan per person.

I've been to many countries and places, but this really is my dream island – so comfortable and peaceful! The hotel is teeming with stingrays, small sharks, and coral reefs, it's like being in an aquarium. There's a seaside pool, jungle trekking, you can even spot wallabies, and an outdoor cinema by the sea. Oh my gosh, it's just too wonderful! Once you're here, you'll never want to leave.

Very Good

We loved the kangaroos and other animals living on the island. The room was great, and the breakfast was a highlight. The Brazilians and Argentinians working at the resort were very friendly.

The environment is excellent, truly the pinnacle of Hamilton Island hotels. The hotel provides a shuttle bus, making it very convenient to get from the airport. It's suitable for families with young children. There are parrots on the balcony, which the kids absolutely loved.

Great stay, however Trip.com swopped my double beds booking and booked me and my adult kids all 4 of us paying as adults into a bedroom with 1 king bed!, not even a sleeper couch. The hotel fixed it on checkin by wheeling in 2 more strecher beds.

Beautiful location and amenities, menus are limited, range of food available isn't available, since there is no other choice or venue to eat, tonic bar is the only trained staff, The rest of all employees are un trained and can not handle guest questions or requests are ignore or just dont know and tell incorrect answers, or ordering food is a circus. They need to hire hospitality staff that know how to serve and run restaurants ir eatery.

The room was spacious and very clean.

Great hotel!

Day dream island is an excellent place for holiday. Manuel was excellent in front of the desk quickly called us after the room is ready. Also on the day manager was great and he gave us great sea view room. Immaculate room with great views. Also we went to infinity restaurant for the dinner and Martina who served us was exceptional. She recommended great cuisine which was authentic. Great place and great service.

I was mostly happy with the resort. There were some things missing like more food options (only two restaurants) and small luxuries like a sauna for example. It’s also hard to rate the staff as you had some incredibly helpful staff and then some real depressing ones that were just rude. The only other thing that was a bit of a shock was that the beaches were just full of dead coral and no sand. I hadn’t been to one of the islands in the Whitsundays so I was surprised to see that. The photos of the resort did not show this so it would have been nice to know so it didn’t lead to disappointment. Some positives though is that the resort was beautifully designed and they offered a lot of free water activities like kayaking for example. The buffet breakfast was also really nice.

Great accomodation, friendly staff, great getaway

arrived in the Island early as for usual check in(2pm) , so chill out in the lounges but 2pm came, we still waited 35mins before they let us go to our room. The room is spacious but not that tidy, shower tub /shower cubicle is a bit dirty ( aside from black mold? , the tub had mark of stains, i think because it is old/age) The tissue box contains 2peaces only and empty(not happy) and found out during bedtime the pillows smells yucky( we shocked in the floor, never used any) it smells like sweats or B.O . and the amenities in the other side of the hotel, is hollow for me. you walk for 10-15mins just to see empty old shops, another pool (not as nice to main pool near hotel) nothing much to do if you stay for more that 2days, unless you crossed to other island, but here itself, NO! , aside kayaking and swimming to pool. plus the viewing of the underwater aquarium is only 9:30am onwards but not in arvo, should have to 2 session not just in the morning!
