Top Daydream Reef Hotel Reviews

Baybliss Studio 2

8/10 Good

"Middle unit, directly above the pool. It is meant to be adults only, which is important given the lack of sound proofing. Unfortunately with the lack of sound proofing we could hear everything both in the communal pool area and the unit above and beside. We were lucky the noisy neighbours who chose to swim and carry on in the pool at 6am left the second day. Ironically there are instructions/rules printed and stuck all over the unit, but not restriction on pool hours!? Kitchen is basic, could use an update. Bathroom could also use an update. Bed was ok. Great ocean view, nice pool with a view and sunlounges. I wouldn’t say value for money, but it was nice being away from the noisy Airlie beach for a short stay over."

Airlie Beach Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic place to stay. My room overlooked the pool and was wonderfully quiet overnight. Wonderfully comfortable big bed with perfect pillows! Cleaned every day. I appreciated the water and biscuits in the room. The staff on the front desk were really friendly and incredibly helpful. The pub was great fun for pre-dinner drinks. Highly recommended"

Daydream Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The island is so cute and peaceful. The resort is perfectly situated at the ferry dock and you can stay inside the resort until the ferry pulls in which is nice if it's raining. The resort is perfect for a short visit, the food was good and the amenities were perfect for a relaxing break. The free use of snorkeling gear is a nice touch as you can see their newly grown reef right from the beach. The wallaroos are so cute wandering around and you can feed them. I believe most ferries stop at daydream and go to Airlie or Hamilton and on to Whitsunday island so it is very convenient to get on and off the island. Overall would recommend the resort for a nice get away."

Picturesque on Passage

8/10 Good

"Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at Picturesque on Passage. The location is great and the view is fabulous! There is some maintenance required at the property (mainly fly screens and doors that need replacing and/or repairing). The top of the fridges needs a good clean and its a bit weird having to walk through a bedroom to get downstairs. Otherwise we were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay."

'Vue de Bleu' Luxury Whitsunday Retreat

8/10 Good

"he house was really nice, with a great pool, views, and surroundings. Our complaint was that we felt the house was not represented correctly. It worked out for us since we were all adults, but I’m not sure it would suit a family. It is listed as a four-bedroom house, but in fact, it is a two-bedroom house with a detached building that has a further two bedrooms and a bathroom included. There are 19 large outdoor steps down to these rooms, and unfortunately, it was raining most nights, so we got quite wet going to bed. These two downstairs bedrooms are actually one room separated by two steps up and no door, so they are not really two rooms and lack privacy. The back bedroom is quite pokey and claustrophobic. The standard of this downstairs space is not in keeping with the house itself.There was only one hairdryer provided for three bathrooms, the mugs and glasses didn’t match, and there could have been more crockery and cutlery provided. When paying this much for a property, this feels a bit cheap.There are also safety concerns if you had children with you, the porch around the pool is quite tall with no barrier and a drop straight onto concrete below. I don’t know if it is council compliant but it’s a long way to fall on concrete. Overall, while we appreciated the charm of the house and the stunning views, clearer communication about the property’s layout and improvements in safety and amenities would greatly enhance the experience for future guests."
