"Very nice and quiet "

5/5 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay at Daydream Island. The staff are fantastic and the food was very good. Our room was comfortable and clean. The island is a really beautiful spot with crystal clear blue waters, fantastic pool areas, and the living reef really gives you the full experience of being at The Great Barrier Reef. There are plenty of activities on the island as well as trivia nights, bingo, and outdoor cinema. There are many tour options leaving Daydream Island daily for those who want to visit the reef, Hamilton Island, Airlie Beach,or Whitehaven Beach. The rooms have on-demand movies with a large selection including new releases. It would be great to have additional dining options. There is essentially two restaurants for dinner which while great, it does get a bit repetitive after a week. We also recommend making bookings for dinner before arriving as the two restaurants get booked out resulting in being restricted to having to do take away back to your room. "

"The area is beautiful and the property have good potential to be excellent, but the place was not clean enough, the place smells when you arrive and a lot of messages no pleasant in the walls. When we tried to use the toast there was an electricity cut, was hard to find the switch. Most of utensils and furniture no the best quality, very restrictive with soap and a lot of little details that makes lost the potential of the place."

Beautiful view and peaceful location

"Lovely private location away from all - only a few other guests to contend with - not an entire village! You will need a car or be willing to carry your bags up the hill from the bus stop. The room was lovely and had the necessities in cooking equipment."

4/5 Good

"Pros: Great apartment and apartment complex with great pool. Apartment is modern with a small balcony. Beautiful view over pool, garden and the sea. Cons: Mould in shower needs addressing. Wi Fi inconsistent, bad first night, good the next. Apartments not fully soundproof, would be a problem if you have loud, noisy people next to you or above you. "
