Great family location, generally lots to do for the kids
The staff are amazing, always very professional, and well trained in hospitality.
The property is lovely with great facilities, excellent food and drinks at the restaurants and bars and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and service recieved.
It was relaxing ànd very picturesque from our room.
Breakfasts was excellent. Daydream Island is very good for someone that wants to relax as well as for families to have an enjoyable holiday.
We were disappointed with the restaurant food and attitude of the people serving.
Very over priced. Poor staff support and average attitudes. Food was really bad, especially the buffet. Could not even eat the bacon as so bad. It became a joke between our family and I over the 7 days at how bad the food was and how expensive it was as all we could do was laugh really as no other option. The rooms were ok but house keeping lacked big time. Left rubbish in the rooms, didn't vacuum the floor. The aircon was filthy and the extraction vent in ensuite was filthy handnt been cleaned for a few years it looked. We spent about 13K for flights and accomodation and then spent about another 3.5k just to eat and drink for the five of us on the island for the 7 nights. The beach was great. The underwater aquarium was great. The treetop walk was great. Lovers cove was great. Would not go back though and would not recommend to anyone unfortunately as the hotel experience itself was terrible.
