The staff were all really nice, the facilities were clean and the room was maintained really well. The pools are amazing, the pool bar was a hit! Cocktails are so good and the fruit tingles will have you happier than ever. The restaurant Inkstone was really good, the food is yummy and they do take away. The rainforest walk was fabulous apart from all the spiders but it was great to see it left alone for nature to do it thing. The wildlife were really friendly and approachable. Buffet breakfast was amazing as you can have as much as you like with a good variety of food. Love the coffee bar on site and free refreshments everywhere. Towels were also free to use. The gym was small but clean and had new equipment with a range of dumbbells. The Observatory is beautiful and you can do yoga classes there. This was a home away from home.

Very clean and organised hostel. Large kitchen with lots of storage room and everything you need for cooking. Lovely common areas inside and outside. Rooms are big with large lockers to fit loads of luggage, a nice bathroom and balcony. Directly in the city centre, close to the lagoon, shops and the port. One of the best hostels I've been to at the East Coast.

First and foremost, the people working there made the difference! Shirelle in reception (if i spell it correctly - the smiley yound lady with the 3 kids in reception 😀) really kind, considerate, does everything possible to help you, gives solutions in any request. E.g. had to check out and leave my luggage super early, hotel was not busy, reception opens at 7am, but she came 10min earlier just to serve me, and opened also the breakfast for me to take a bite before i go to my half day cruise! When back, she also helped! Meabh also at the bar and restaurant service, always smiley and kind! And also taking care of the garden, when not busy, and making the rooms more beautiful with flowers! The hotel is just over the main bus/ boat station, 8min walk, has really clean and really spacious rooms. All is working properly. Even a small balcony that you can enjoy your coffee outside with a view. Road underneath not noisy. Bed and pillows really good quality - had a great sleep. Recycling in the room, towel only for make up -- loved these small details nowhere else in the world found! Amazing also the outside pool - did not use, but seems really artistic. Oh, and the restaurant has great food - grilled fish and chips was super tasty and well served. Wish I could stay longer!! (Not happens often in a stay, I would say, and I'm travelling quite a lot!). Felt taken care of and happy!

Location, location, location. Rooms have an ocean view. They are in front of a kids playground, right in the middle of all the stores and restaurants. The room was very spacious, lots of space for a family of 4. They were very accommodating to a late arrival. Free parking space provided. We did not use it but our room even had a washing machine which would have been so helpful if we were further in our journey. Do not be deterred by the front appearance or view from parking garage, it's amazing.

Beautiful spacious apartment with a gorgeous view. Was perfect for our group of friends - each of the three couples got a lovely room. Full kitchen and laundry in the unit was a huge bonus. Made good use of the communal pool and bbq facilities as well. Great location, walking distance to the main town centre of Airlie Beach. Crystal at reception was so lovely 🙂

Small island with limited numbers allowed.

Small island with limited numbers allowed. Good for relaxing few days. Family friendly. Weather was perfect. Restaurant food to a high standard. Buffet dinner not good. Gym needs aircon. Southern end of island not renovated after cyclone. In saying that the other pool areas seemed sufficient.

Only stay 1 night!

Only stay 1 night! You’ll want to leave after one night unless you like having absolutely nothing to do!! The kangaroos all over the island were super friendly and made the trip enjoyable. The resort itself felt like you’d gone back in time 20years. Staff were slow and everything took much longer than you’d hope. The grounds in some areas needed a lot of love / some of the lounge chairs near the pool were placed in dirt and were in direct sun, with no shade. It just felt run down and lacking. The pool itself was quite nice. I would only recommend a one night stay as there isn’t much going on. Negatives $30 for two small servings of takeaway chips $5 for a Mars bar from the Lolly shop that was stale 2x Ping pong tables but only one ping pong ball! Volleyball court but no ball Lounge chairs in dirt and in direct sun Cruise Whitsundays ferry transfer unreliable- they prioritise reef guests and if they have no capacity, you have to wait for next service. Some services are cancelled on you without you knowing. We had to wait two ferries before actually leaving the island, which was very frustrating!! Lack of options for dining

Pool facilities are nice; swim up bar, number of pools, lounges, easy to access from around the facilities. Restaurants were lovely and the food, was fabulous. Snorkelling, paddle-boarding and kayaking were free and good fun with kids who want a little more than lying around the pool. Other tours and activities were available, but at cost. The underwater observation facilities were a lovely extra too and the kids enjoyed these, revisiting them a number of times during our stay. Facilities are nice, but not quite what we were expecting. In its heyday, I imagine Daydream Island would have been spectacular, but it is in need of some renovating and updating. One end of the island has pool facilities that were currently not being utilised due to damage incurred from cyclone in years past, which was a shame. That end of the island was beautiful and hosts activities such as paddleboarding and kayaking. Rooms were standard hotel rooms and clean.

The resort back in its day would have been fantastic.

The resort back in its day would have been fantastic. I reckon. As it is now, it needs a lot of help, Facilities are rundown, the pool on the backside of the island needs help, the tennis court/s need relevelling. As a family of 6 we were averaging between the 2 restaurants $320 per meal twice a day. Food upstairs was great, downstairs was average. Salti offered spray water bottles , so you could spray the local Bush Stone Curlews in an attemp to keep them away from your table!! The rooms were terrible, worst I have ever been in. We put it on par with a motel we stayed in one night in Dubbo that cost us $80. The only difference was the one in Dubbo didnt have mould in the bathroom. Breakfast at the resort was shared with Curlews, Crows and Sparrows, with the birds stealing food off the tables and from the Servery, it was disgusting!! Never again!!

Surrounded by azure waters, Day Dream Island Hotel greeted us with warmth and hospitality. Little did we know, the true surprise lay in the unparalleled friendliness of the staff, who eagerly assisted with every aspect of our stay from the moment we booked. From organizing activities to seamless transfers, their proactive approach ensured a stress-free experience. The Reef Rangers program/activity immersed us in the wonders of the marine world, while the array of water sports on offer at the other side of the island exhilarated our senses. With each moment, Day Dream Island Hotel revealed itself as a hidden gem, surpassing our every expectation. Wished for more gluten free and dairy free options.

Absolutely amazing! Ignore all the bad reviews! Food and drinks were amazing, especially Infinity restaurant upstairs, the food was beyond anything we imagined. Anything you could want for breakfast with a massive selection of breakfast options. Special mention to Kate at Cruise Whitsundays, Hattie at Reception and Meh at food and beverage. Stunning service from all!!! Sunset at Lovers Cove is definitely a must do, and snorkelling at the same area! We will definitely be back and recommending Daydream Island to all our friends and family!!!
