This place is magnificent, it feels like paradise. We had an amazing time here. The facilities are incredibly clean, they include everything you need and more and the owner Leonie is just the sweetest! She is always listening and providing everything you need.
The view is fantastic and it’s an amazing place to relax and connect with nature. I’m definitely coming back!

Nice quiet location, house was spacious and comfortable. Lovely outdoor area with outdoor kitchen. House was fully air conditioned and there was room to park our boat in the driveway along with two vehicles.

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.

Unfortunately Daydream Island felt like being in the National Lampoon’s Vacation. From having to wait 30min to check in while pregnant and with a 2yo in the heat, to unhelpful front desk staff refusing our request to get housekeeping to come earlier than 5pm, this “resort” is so overpriced and definitely not worth it. It’s 5 star prices for 2 star cleanliness, comfort and staff.
I do need to acknowledge the general manager, Marcus Taylor, who we wrote to with our concerns and came back straight away addressing them, guest centric attitude. Unfortunately for him the job ahead to make this a 10/10 place is huge

Staff are very helpful and polite and certainly have brilliant customer service, if this hadn’t been the case we would’ve probably checked out of the hotel!
The location is very beautiful- unfortunately the resort needs an overhaul to update its rooms, pool areas, bars and facilities. I would say this is more like a budget hotel than the luxury it should be.
We stayed 5 nights and were ready to leave at the end as there’s very little to do entertaining. Be prepared to organise as many off island trips as you can! Also, food quality isn’t great especially at the prices they charge.
I’d say it’s a good one night stop off if you get a good discount room. Such a shame as there’s so much potential for this resort to be amazing!!!

Great get away holiday where you can choose to relax on the island or relax and also explore the Whitsundays by taking day trips with cruise Whitsundays.
Staff work very hard and they were nice and friendly.
Best to book restaurants to avoid eating in the buffet for dinner. Restaurants are very good .
Lovely island to relax on and I really enjoyed the live reef and stingray ponds.
There is a small shop on the island that sells essentials but best to pack everything you need for your stay.
Hope to return another time :)

Didn't get room we booked; got pushed down to Harbour Wing where the building accoustics are abysmal - wind-driven door slams, never-ending chair scrapes and foot-strikes from floor above, noisy children. Buffet breakfast is a bun fight to find plates, spoons, etc - and they were slow to top up cereal, orange juice, etc. Daydream? Not for us; never again!!

Beautiful resort! The staff were wonderful and we had a fabulous few days. The food at the upstairs restaurant was excellent and we loved the mix of a family friendly resort with a swim up bar - it ticked every box for us! Kangaroos hopping around and looking at the sea life was really special. We took a walk around the island to the other end and the views on the way.... wow. Big shout out to the yoga tutor - I took a class and it was fantastic! We did three nights and could have stayed longer honestly. A total escape!
Loved everything about Daydream Island resort. The staff were amazing. Mangers did an amazing job covering all areas of the facility. We didn't feel lost as there was always staff around to help. Housekeepers are the best, super friendly and always had our beds made cleaned daily. Restaurant staff always working hard to get our food served. I cannot fault this place as it is well managed and on point with everything it advertised. Wished we stayed longer.
My newlywed Husband and I absolutley loved Daydream island! We arrived at the resort 2 hours before check-in and straight away thought it was our favourite stop on our honeymoon (before we had even seen our room!) The staff were so lovely, the food was divine, the views were spectacular, and the sunsets were amazing! Lover's Cove is an absolute must-see, especially when there is live music being played to watch the sunset. We will be back!!
I loved staying at Daydream Island and I truely so happy I booked my stay here. From lounging by the pool to jetskying in the blue waters to watching the sun set at lovers cove - it was all so perfect! The staff are so lovely and made my stay feel extra special! Max from Public Area Maintenance was so helpful when I needed some supplies in my room - top notch service :) I would definitely book to stay at this resort again in the future!
We loved the breakfast but, due to COVID, self-service buffets were not allowed which made it very time-consuming and difficult. However, that wasn't really the fault of the hotel.
The room was beautiful with great views and the staff were very friendly and helpful.
We loved the underwater observatory and the outdoor cinema.
Currently still at the hotel. Staff have been friendly and helpful with things such as lending us umbrellas, and the pool has been really pleasant. We also enjoyed the activities that were organised during a rainy day and we were very pleasantly surprised by the size of our room
Great range of activities for a young family, this is important as there is no sandy beach to play on and because the weather may prevent certain water activities such as kayaking, sailing, and the pool may be too cool to swim in for a long time during winter
Beautiful location. All hotel staff are exceptional. Rooms are clean and bright. Best value for your money. Only 2 restaurants but the variety of options are fine for a few day visit. Breakfast buffet has a wide variety of food for all types.
Everything from arriving to leaving was just amazing. From the start of the day at the buffet breakfast, to the ease of the travel desk booking activities, to relaxing on the island, dinner and then back to sleep was just perfect.
We loved the location of Daydream Island Resort, also liked how large the resort was, you could walk to the other side of the island and really relax by ourselves on the beach. The food in both restaurants was top quality.
Daydream island was amazing. The rooms were lovely and close to everything and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The restaurants and bars were definitely a hit. Absolutely no complaints from me
We loved our stay at the Daydream island. It is a small paradise with lots of wallaroos and cockatoos keeping us company :) We loved the living reef too.
Thank you for everything.
ciuld do more for the kids ans plenty kids at the hotel, wheather not great and not much for them to do, also not enough staff and most of the staff not happy at the restaurants
everything was good
we happy with the hotel however it’s been raining while we stay. so we didn’t have any water activity.

The property had a large enough pool to not feel compacted with all the hotel guests. The breakfast was good. The island is beautiful full of wildlife.
