Disappointment Island :(
Have previously been to Daydream Island twice and it was fantastic.
Thought we would bring our Teens back to show them but what an absolute disappointment. Purchased a Superior Pool Side Room thinking we would have direct pool access like the photos. when we arrived you couldn't even see the pool the gardens are so overgrown and there is no access to pool, not worth the extra money.
The rooms smell mouldy. The curtains have mould on them, the doonas and pillows all have mould and the horrible queen size beds are just full of urine stains and massive patches of black mould. Not to mention old innerspring mattress was like sleeping on the floor.
We requested a room change and were declined twice, saying they had nothing available. But multiple rooms were empty. Food is average in the restaurants and not worth the price tag.
The island is in major need of a overhaul as one end all the buildings are boarded up it's like a ghost town with a pool in the middle.
Even the staff say it's not the same since it was sold in 2015 to the Chinese.
Unfortunately Daydream Island is not worth WASTING your money.
Rooms are dirty, mouldy, Tv's don't work, Sliding doors to balcony don't open, Food expensive and not great. Gardens overgrown over the paths so it's a little scary with snakes and the big Goanna's.
Maintenance Staff blow the paths to clear the leaves and Kangaroo Poo but it just gets blown onto the garden or as we saw in the pool.
Avoid at all cost.
