Look forward to staying again but the Raintree hill is a killer!

super ocean view, 5 stars, we loved it!

Just back from a wonderful stay at Daydream Island resort! 🌴 The living reef experience was incredible - snorkeling among the coral and marine life was a highlight of my trip 🐠🐳. The resort's location is perfect, and the multiple pools offer a great spot to relax 🌊. The aquatic life on the island is amazing, with plenty of fish and other creatures to spot. One thing that was a bit of a letdown was the spa treatment - decent options, but quite expensive. While my overall experience was great, I did find a few things missing - no all-inclusive meal and drinks option, no steam or sauna, and no mini bar in the rooms. These additions would take the resort to the next level and make it even more enthralling. Still, I highly recommend Daydream Island for its beauty and charm. With a few tweaks, it could be truly unforgettable!

While some things were excellent here; it's very quiet and private. Beautiful setting and helpful staff, the main reason for this being our holiday destination was so underwhelming, it's difficult not to be very disappointed in our holiday. Firstly there aren't many options to get there (in fact we were only given the name of one boat company which was disappointing) and it is so expensive that it really adds hugely to the cost and if we'd known prior to booking, we probably would have chosen a different destination. The main reason for disappointment however was the snorkeling. It is terrible! The water is very cloudy and we didn't actually see a single fish. You could see fish at times from the shore but very plain, no tropical species at all. What coral you see is very grey. We definitely would never have gone there if we had known this. We have so enjoyed our snorkeling experiences in Fiji, it was really our main focus. The pool is lovely and located superbly by the restaurant. The food was good. The sunset bar has the most beautiful setting, evening cocktails weren't to be missed. There's a few walks which are good and is something else to fill your day. Because the snorkeling was so bad it gave us something else to do other than lying by the pool. The staff are helpful and friendly but they are almost all backpackers so it feels like there's no one in charge or with local knowledge to share.
