The fantastic view of the ocean and swimming pools. The breakfast is good! The inconvenience of choices for meals and daily necessities at the island is obvious, the only canteen and the mini store are limited with options, plus the high prices are not worth what are provided. We do not even know that we have to pay for the expensive ferry tickets for each single trip to the nearby islands and port.

Just not alot of free things to do. Half the island seems to be closed. Was like walking through a ghost town going to the other side of the island for watersports that i guess arent available everyday. Walking track closed. I understand wet wheather affects these but then my options are either table tennis, pool, wait in long lines for drinks or use in room tv when it works

I liked the tropical surroundings and the wonderful customer service from the staffs. I didn’t like the dinner menu with such limited options, especially for family with children. That could be improved. Besides that, I had a great vacation on DayDream Island. Thanks.

Such a beautiful island. Although our stay being fairly short we found we had heaps of access to many different facilities including the gift shop, pools, restaurants/bars etc. The free complimentary buffet breakfast was much appreciated and the friendly staff made us made us feel welcomed :) many thanks, room 1313
