The room and pools were good. Tonic bar was good but their food and graze dinners were terrible. I ordered fish and chips and fish was literally half cooked, requested nachos for replacement and it came out burnt so much l couldn't even chip the chips in the bottom off the paper. Husband watched the chef bring out baked beans at breakfast went immediatly over to get them and they were cold, not cool, cold. Bought a hotdog at The Shack and it too was cold. Food outlets closed very early, even on Fri & Sat nights and NYE. Waited approx 50mins at Salties one lunch time and we were not the only ones, Mgr spoke with us and apologised, but at least meals were edible. Astronomical ferry prices restrict how much you will use them and have very limited activities on the island, sth side of island was like a ghost town. Place needs a very good scrub, very dirty. Air conditioner in room was noisy and kept us awake most nights and exhaust fan in bathroom did not work. Would not stay again, left 1 night early to stay elsewhere, even though we had paid at Daydream, just to get away. No information in room for how to contact reception or room service. TV very faulty. Paying for jetski's is fine but to hit ppl up for photos, taken on instructors phone is ridiculous, little things count - make 1 complimentary. If someone complains about a meal being undercooked - refund it, it could have killed us! Most of the staff were friendly, but some rude. Very very underwhelming experience.

Dirty rooms extremely dusty everything in the room, dirty hallways, flooded hallways, mold on hallway carpets, dirty breakfast dinning room, extremely slow staff, No music at the swim up pool, No Tomato sauce, no sand on the beach, mould in showers, no fish and chips for kids, no ice, bathroom fan not working, TV hang all the way up the ceiling with exposed wires on wall. Fans not working in breakfast dinning room, Ripping customers off on food and drink cost! I ve been to 3rd world Communist Cuba among other resorts around the world and their resort hotels are 5 times better compared to what I paid for in a beautiful daydream island Australia.

Had a great family holiday with 2 adults and 2 teenagers. Rooms were great and very quiet with comfy beds. Great selection at buffet breakfast and so nice to sit by the aquarium. Kayaking, snorkeling, nature trails and lots of day tours as well as relaxing by the pool. Only fault is the menu for lunch and dinner. It didn’t change, even the specials, and we got bored of the food quite quickly. We also were stung with the fish we caught ourselves - $35/ea to cook it and only 2 of our 4 ate it. Would have been good for reception to tell us this beforehand. We were also told we would get sides for that but were charged for everything and when I questioned it the next morning, our bill couldn’t be found.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Daydream Island Resort. Staff were super friendly and always happy to assist. The range of on island activities was great and gave us something new to try each day. The staff at the tour desk gave us excellent advice as to which off island activities would be suitable for our family of four - and they were spot on with Ocean Rafting day trip to Whitehaven Beach, Hill Inlet and snorkelling our absolute highlight! Our only feedback would be that it would be wonderful to see another dining (restaurant/cafe) option especially offering something light for lunch/dinner - sandwiches/wraps etc. By the end of our 7th night we had exhausted just about everything on the menu from both restaurants (Infinity and Salti) and would have loved a different option. That being our only negative, we thought the Living Reef staff and their ongoing efforts to re-establish the coral and marine life in the area (after cyclone Debbie destroyed so much) are absolutely fantastic and something to be very proud of! One of the many reasons we will definitely be back in the future!

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
