Daydream Island and Living Coeal Redort is indeed a dream come true. This was my second trip in two years.Just love the resort.Cant wait to visit again.
Maureen, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Amazing stay. Highly recommended. Staff were so friendly.
Akini, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

As you are in an Island , you have to rely on their food options and restaurant, this would be shocking when you have a child and been told the food is finished or all the tables have been reserved! they should know how many guest on the Island to ensure the variety and enough food in reasonable prices available for everyone.

Tracey, 3-night trip

Amazing resort overall with a great swimming pool and kids activities. Only downside is the cleanliness of the rooms is a bit lacking for a resort of this quality.

Phillip, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Just back from a wonderful stay at Daydream Island resort! 🌴 The living reef experience was incredible - snorkeling among the coral and marine life was a highlight of my trip 🐠🐳. The resort's location is perfect, and the multiple pools offer a great spot to relax 🌊. The aquatic life on the island is amazing, with plenty of fish and other creatures to spot. One thing that was a bit of a letdown was the spa treatment - decent options, but quite expensive. While my overall experience was great, I did find a few things missing - no all-inclusive meal and drinks option, no steam or sauna, and no mini bar in the rooms. These additions would take the resort to the next level and make it even more enthralling. Still, I highly recommend Daydream Island for its beauty and charm. With a few tweaks, it could be truly unforgettable!
Faiz, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Main areas of resort were beautiful, however the south end of the island needs renovations and bar wasn’t open. Buffet dinner was a letdown from what was advertised and ran out of dessert within an hour. Shower head in room needs replacing terrible pressure. Staff were helpful and friendly.
Jodie, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall great holiday but limited menu at only two restaurants. Would be better if menu changed over the week. Needed a store to buy fresh fruit, snacks, etc. Buildings overall pretty tired. Smell of sewerage at one end of island which meant walking far was not enjoyable. The rainforest walk we had to hold our noses for half of it! One end of island so underdeveloped and almost eery...like a cyclone hit it and it has been left untouched. Staff were not overly friendly. Pool areas lovely. It was very very quiet which was the biggest plus and felt like you were on the island on your own. Loved all the nature and wallabies roaming around.
Rebecca, 6-night trip

6/10 Okay

Daydream island falls short of its full potential. Half of the island is unutilised which is a shame as it has everything pools, shop and canteen. What was even more outrageous was 2 out of 3 restaurants ran out of food 2 nights in a row.! They say not to bring outside food but I would suggest to pack food before you go. This place is designed for people who want to do nothing at all during the day and have an early night watching tv in bed as there’s nothing to do after dinner.
Trevor, 6-night trip

8/10 Good

Wonderful location and pool areas. Cool snorkelling at Lovers Cove! Bathrooms needed a clean and could use some better menu options for the fussy youngsters
Alistair, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Positives- Staff worked really hard and were helpful. Bingo and trivia were fun. Negatives- Unheated pool in winter. Wind cancelled activities leaving nothing to do. Dirty chair and curtains in our room. Staying for a week but didn't top up bathroom supplies. Shutters moudly in dining area. Terrible options for lunch. Too expensive to travel to mainland or hamilton for a daytrip. Half the island isn't used but has so much potential.
Treena Lee, 7-night trip

6/10 Okay

Overall a nice getaway, however you could tell that the buildings need to be updated (rust). More entertainment could have been provided as well.
Irima, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Small island, relaxing & not a lot to do on the island if your not into swimming pools, limited Dining options, menu should change every couple of nights for more variety - but very central & great spot to do day excursions to other islands.
