It’s my second time staying at Daydream Island Resort. The ocean view from our rooms were breathtaking, and we spent many hours just soaking in the beauty of the ocean at our balcony. The clean and comfort of the room exceeded our expectations. The pools were as nice and enjoyable as we remembered. The breakfast was great with abundant varieties. Dinner at both Infinity and Salti were fantastic. We again had a wonderful stay at this resort!

Has potential needs to be managed properly.
Beautiful island, nice hotel. Very poorly run. Two outrageously expensive restaurants with limited menu. Nothing to do as it all closes at 3. Walked to back of island water sports closed by 3. Would not recommend.

Relaxed and easy going. Great place to hang and chill. The only area that needs attention is the variety of food it was a bit limited - that said we essentially self catered for lunch so not an issue.
