Hotel bastante agradable Lo mejor: - La atención del personal, muy amables y gratos - El desayuno!, muy variado y rico - El acuario hermosos Las instalaciones se ven un poco descuidadas, le falta amor Tiene una ruta para caminar a través de un bosque que es muy linda, un sector de playa donde se puede realizar snorkel, y otro sector de playa donde se pueden realizar deportes acuáticos. También hay un cine al aire libre, y 2 restaurantes. Los restaurantes los encontré muy caros y los platos no me eran atractivos. Hay muchos canguros en la isla, te los encuentras en todas partes, y algunos llegan al restaurante a pedir comida, se recomienda no darles. También hay Cacatúas que llegan al balcón del dormitorio a pedir comida Piscinas agradables, les falta un poquito de renovación en la pintura. En general mi experiencia fue bastante buena Para bañarse en la playa en temporadas de medusas hay que bañarse con un traje que te proporcionan en el lugar En general, muy grato

My take on Daydream Island: 7/10 We were after a relaxing family getaway, and we definitely got that. Mother Nature was beautiful, and all the wildlife was amazing to see and interact with. Was the place perfect? Definitely not. There are a lot of maintenance issues and some general confusion among some of the staff. Breakfast was another big letdown. The toast, scrambled eggs, pastries, and fruit were the only edible items on the buffet. The restaurants, however, were amazing. We had the best Asian dinners we have had in a long time, and the staff at the restaurants were very friendly and professional. Pools and the daily activities were fantastic. Izzy and I enjoyed meditation and yoga most mornings, and the rainforest walk was a beautiful way to start the morning. Izzy and I had a few hours in the day spa, and the staff were lovely, and it was a very positive experience for us both. "Best day ever," Izzy said. The boys did a fishing tour operated by a mainland company. The tour was great, and the boys caught some wonderful fish. The only letdown was the lack of communication between the resort, the tour company, and ourselves, but we managed to work it out. We were promised that any fish they caught, we could have the restaurant cook it up for us for dinner (for $35) on our return. This didn't go to plan, but hubby sorted it, and our fish (cleaned by the tour company) was taken to the restaurant for dinner. The fish was amazing and cooked well. We had to cancel some of the other items we had ordered for dinner as it was not explained to us (staff didn't know) how our fish would come out. It came out with the fish, a bowl of chips, a bowl of salad, and a bowl of peas, all yummy, so we were able to cancel our mains and ordered some more sides to go with it. Everything was very yummy, and we had dessert and a few cheeky drinks. We did get a bit of a shock when they were having trouble working out our bill at the end of the night. When we finally got it, it came to over $400, and then we were told they charged us $140 ($35 per person for 2 adults and 2 kids) to cook our fish (the fish was already cleaned and ready to go by the tour company). It was a bit hard to believe as their fish and chip meal was only $30, but we had a lovely dinner, so we paid and left. The bars and swim-up bars were great. The cocktails changed at the different bars, so it was nice to try different drinks. We also got to do a ray tour and feed the rays. That was great fun, and we learned some new fun facts. Our room had some major maintenance issues and a weird smell when you walked in, but overall it had a great view, a spa bath, and was nice and quiet. We had paid for a deluxe upgraded room. We probably would have just gotten a standard room if we had known of the issues with the rooms and the yard maintenance outside the room. We didn't get to snorkel or use the water sports as the wind was too strong, and the weather was not the best. Would I race back to Daydream Island in a hurry? Probably not, but we created some wonderful family memories and are definitely leaving more relaxed, so you can't ask for much more.
