Relaxed and easy going. Great place to hang and chill. The only area that needs attention is the variety of food it was a bit limited - that said we essentially self catered for lunch so not an issue.

Liked: Cleanliness
It was our first family holiday and Day Dream Island Resort was good; however, there were a few things that disappointed us. The room was lovely, clean and with three guests in our room, only provided towels for two. The pillows were terrible, the shower was difficult to get out of if you are short and the water was either way too hot or too cold - you couldn't regulate it and the shower head was terrible. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The gardens, pools were great. The only outdoor spa was spoilt with children in there using "donuts" and not allowing other guests to just sit and enjoy the spa. Lifeguard just watched and smiled without saying a word. The limited dining was not great and expensive for what you got, but the food was lovely. There were no good snacks/morning tea/afternoon options. Overall it was a good trip - the weather was great!

Loved my stay, there were a few glitches like not being able to connect to the internet and some dodgy lights in my room that flickered but the staff went out of their way to help and were very good. Everyone I came across were great whether it was booking tours, chasing birds away from me or having a good laugh at kayaking but happy to provide management with the standout staff. The food was amazing and highly recommend the asian restaurant.

Worst holiday in 15 years
Terrible holiday. Staff are very inexperienced and lack of interest in job can be seen. Food is expensive - limited choice No pharmacy or doctor available - we had medical situation that resulted in minimal support except one member who we thought was very caring - rest of other front desk staff zero care. Transport to island is very expensive - $330 for family of 3 - it’s a joke. Going to day trip $220 for 20 min ferry ride. Will not be returning here and I encourage you to review before you book. It’s a volume business not a service or caring! Worst holiday in 15 years!!!

Great stay The resort is just on 4 star Breakfast just ok Missing little things like amenity bathrobes Slippers. No pool service Rooms are nice and the gardens are beautiful. For people who are not aware of it- there is no sand beach only coral beach so you can sit on the sand and swim in the ocean . The little convenience shop in the resort poorly stocked
