Reading through the reviews I cant help feeling Daydream is getting a bad rap.......... My wife and I and young daughter stayed for four days in March and had a fantastic time. Staff are ultra friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and warm. A note that the venue has seen grander times and I noticed wear and tear that the... More

We stayed at the island for a wedding. We were very happy with our twin room. It had two queen beds and was spacious and comfortable. A Garden Room but we did still have a view of the sea as well so we were very pleased. A word to future visitors - the parakeets are very smart! If anyone left... More

We had a good deal from Discover Australia for 3 nights stayed (included breakfast but not transfer). The island is beautiful. There are hammocks hanging between the palm trees for those who just prefer to lie back and enjoy ocean views. You can find kangaroos, cockatoos and some birds on the island. We walked around the island in the morning... More

Island itself is beautiful. Nature is amazing and this could make a great location for a holiday. But it`s not. We went there in February. And long story short our 5 days stay was very disappointing. You pay top dollar for bad food, no entertainment and poor facilities. Rooms : + In relatively good condition and generally well serviced. Bed... More

Dear liviu75 Thank you so much for the feedback from your recent stay on Daydream Island. I note that your stay was in February 2013. Unfortunately during that month the Whitsunday region did experience a period of very wet weather. The resort dining options are tailored during weather. With the Fishbowl located at the southern end of the island, a... More

Another beautiful stay on Daydream Island. We arrived to the Bali Boys greeting our boat with an relaxing tune, then off to see our lovely room with a perfect view. Over the weekend we managed to eat at all three restaurants. Waterfalls seafood buffet on the Saturday night could not have been better, the seafood was fresh and great quality!... More

Overall first impression and appearance was nice, the greeting off the boat was great. Hospitality staff servicing the rooms weren't very helpful, alot of inexperienced younger people that haven't recieved sufficient training. We were refused an extra towel when we requested one and there was dirty underwear under our bed that did not belong to us. I had to go... More

The whole island is in need of a good renovation. The gardens appear to be the main focus of maintenance to the detriment of the buildings/facilities. The majority of the staff provide awesome customer service. Yes you do pay "island prices' so make sure you budget for the bill at check-out. The rooms are overpriced for what they are. The... More

A word of warning for all of you who think that paying premium dollar for this resort will entitle you to ‘everything’ this tiny island has to offer. Wrong! We found the “Lovers Cove” beach closed on our arrival Saturday 11 a.m. for an upcoming wedding on that day. Disappointing as this beach is arguably one of the nicer spots... More

Whilst the island is beautiful and the resort quite picturesque, the service, especially the food services (slow, expensive and limited choices - especially for lunch and for kids) made our 3 days there dismal. It is incredible when one considers how much everything costs. The management needs to take a good look at itself. I would never stay there again.
