Absolutely fantastic stay at the resort. We went to see our idol perform in concert, and everything was perfect. We had a few minor issues at the beginning, but they were resolved right away. I’d like to highlight the excellent service and professionalism of Javier and Paula, they were outstanding. We will definitely be back!

We travel a lot and I was pleasantly surprised with Hayman Island which is beautifully maintained and particularly how friendly , helpful the staff were whilst were there for three days recently. Australia has struggle to do five star tourism on the barrier Reef well but I feel the intercontinental group have delivered this on Hayman . The food and attention to detail by the staff was world class. Will definitely be heading back there at some stage

A beautiful slice of paradise with genuinely happy and helpful staff. We experienced most the resort had to offer. The welcome at Hamilton island by the Hayman private boat to the helicopter Whitehaven experience. The 3 restaurants and pool areas all inviting with fantastic service. The fitness centre, boutique shop and Hairdressers add for that extra bit of relaxation. A walk to the top of the island to spot wallabies and take in the spectacular view is breathtaking. A huge thank you to the staff who made this possible. Maya, Marco, willow, Paula, Bella, Aaron, Brittany Wally Bree Javier. Definitely a place to visit

If you want a positive view of Hayman Island then don't go there. The food is mostly poor and only Amici's Italian restaurant had a reasonable pizza. The rest was terrible. Resort is in need of a makeover and now showing its age. Staff were friendly but not up to scratch for a 5 star resort. Getting a decent coffee was almost impossible. Overall the Resort is poorly managed in my view.

The most relaxing holiday we've ever experienced. From touchdown and Hamilton island trasnfering to Hayman was a fabulous way to start . We had a pre organised Helicopter tour with Jack and Rose and it was magical , they picked us up from Hele pad flew us to island , set up a beach picnic with champagne , we brought our cheese and nibbles to take 5 star and a must . We had booked the Gabanas stocked with a full fridge , ceiling fans , lounge and day beds by the main pool but also overlooks the ocean the service , cocktails and menu was exceptional. Javier , Paula and Wally gave us exceptional service always happy to go that extra mile and the Saturday live entertainment added to a great vibe was fantastic . The day spa was a special treat we had a couples massage which was one of the best I've have experienced Clia was highly experienced. Willow in the hair salon was just another highlight ! My husband surprised me with an incredible head massage and a head rejuvenation treatment followed by a wash and blow dry for our special night out at Bam Bam ( Asian inspired restaurant ) World class prawn and crab spying rolls , softshell crab to start! Duck curry , fried rice , Habachi grilled fish for mains and Banana fitters, cheese cake for dessert 5 star ⭐️ Amici Italian restaurant was amazing Risotto , fish and pizza was sensational. Morning breakfast at the Pacific was a tranquil leisurely start to our days ! The food was fresh , hot and sitting out on the main deck watching the cockatoos was delightful . Marco Maya and Bella had our favourite table and coffees ready after we had sat down . The shop was impressive stocking swimwear , clothing , glasses ranging all different prices and manage to find a beautiful dress for our last night . Our holiday was 5 star and we will be back for the private residence experience
