Daydream Island Resort

La primera habitación era horrible, sucia hasta las sábanas. Las cortinas eran asquerosas, con manchas de bebidas. La segunda habitación que cambiaron era mejor. Pero en general, el complejo no debería llamarse complejo turístico, a partir de las 3 p. m. no encuentras nada para comer, así que si quieres almorzar tarde, ten cuidado. Ten en cuenta que no tienen televisores inteligentes (considerarse un complejo turístico de 4 estrellas es necesario). Solo canales locales y algunas películas. Si no hablas inglés, seguro que este no es el hotel para ti. La última queja es sobre el servicio de habitaciones. Nunca contestan para eso, y cuando finalmente conseguí a alguien en la fila, me dijeron que el servicio de habitaciones estaba hasta las 8 p. m. No es bueno por el precio y absolutamente no es digno de un complejo turístico de 4 estrellas. Espero que el propietario chino mejore esto porque no es de la misma calidad que cualquier otro complejo turístico en Whitsundays a pesar de la hermosa isla.

After reading very mixed reviews, we went ahead and booked it. The result: very mixed feelings. The location was beautiful, the sights breathtaking, the animals adorable, but when it came to actually spending time there, there wasn’t much to do. We arrived on a later ferry so we knew we wouldn’t have much time to enjoy the sun after arrival, however because of a mix up, our suitcases went missing for an hour making us miss any chance of getting in the pool while it was hot out. After, we went for dinner. There are only 2 restaurants available, and without making a reservation before hand, it’s a bit hard to go when you want. The food was ok, but expensive as one would expect from a place like this. Once dinner was finished, the evening entertainment (Alice in Wonderland screening) was already underway and we found ourselves with nothing to do at 9pm. Early night for us. The following day we planned a day of snorkelling, stingray feeding and kayaking. We appreciated the free snorkel gear as well as the clear safety instructions and recommendations of the lifeguard. The sting Ray feeding experience was amazing and it was clear the staff knew what they were talking about and were passionate about the animals. Kayaking and other water sports were cancelled however because of the high winds, leaving us, once again, with nothing to do. Early dinner (very entertaining moment with wallabies attempting to steal our food and being super cuddly), a walk around the beach, movie in the room, and early bedtime. So all in all, beautiful location with great experiences of the weather allow, make sure to bring some entertainment if the water is too cold to swim in the pool or the weather turns sour. Maybe a book or some board games? Also: if you want food in the late afternoon, make sure you bring some snacks as there is a limited selection available.

Best resort to stay and best place for family and couple vocation. Beautiful room and amenities, amazing swimming pools in front of the beach. Good view restaurant with variety of cuisine type. Highly recommended.
