The food was absolutely fantastic – 10/10! However, be prepared for the high cost. The accommodation was stunning, especially since we were upgraded to an ocean-view room, but unfortunately, the room itself was quite dated and not well-maintained. It was dusty, and the bathroom had visible black mold. We raised our concerns with reception, but the only response we received was a small room credit, which we appreciated. Overall, while the location and food were great, the condition of the room was disappointing.

I was pleasantly surprised by the facility. The living reef was a very convenient option for kids and adults to experience. Weather wasn't the best but staff made opportunities for activities. Food and service at Salti restaurant was very good. Buffet breakfast was unfortunately quite disappointing with limited options and quality of the food compared to the star rating of the facility. Coffee cups were heavily stained with coffee despite raising this issue with management 3 days in a row. Response was their dishwasher wasn't working properly. ?? How hygienic were the utensils then??

Nice place to stay on the island, the downside is lack of air conditioning. Unless you plan on spending all day in the pool or your room then probably best to avoid this place in summer. I am a born and raised north qld local. I was dripping sweat in the main build watching the Australian open on the big screen and playing pool.

Pools great for kids and relaxing. Very family friendly. Needs more restaurant options as only 2 and 1 downstairs is not the best food. Also needs longer service period of staff as no room service after 8pm and no room service during the day so with tired kids napping we had to wake them up and walk to downstairs to order which is terrible. No help or answer of phone after hours. Needs better cost effective opportunities to leave island to do activities and tours, as booked up quickly with their slots and not a lot of help and costs a lot to do transfers for a day for a whole family to Airlie beach or Hamilton, so you end up feeling stranded on the island.

Daydream was really nice, the island itself was beautiful. Some areas of the resort were a little run down, the shower in our room was not great in terms of design flaws, water spilling over the side due to lack of glass, the fan in the bathroom didn’t work either which meant it was a constant battle against condensation when showering, not ideal. Food was inconsistent across different dining options, even if you ordered the same thing it would come totally different on another day. Some areas of the resort were dirty, carpet and lounge areas in communal points. Good range of activities and lovers cove was beautiful, pool was nice too, staff were super helpful- Tour desk were great to organise activities through. Spa prices a bit high.
