A fair value. We stayed in Rm 111 (on the lagoon). There are many rooms w a view of the ocean but 111 is not one of them. Instead our spacious patio bordered a tranquil pond with bright flowers, swans and other water birds - it worked just fine for us (ocean views are just a few steps away). Our... More

My husband and I traveled to Hayman in late January for our honeymoon and it was, hands down, the best vacation I have ever taken. They thought of everything to make the experience as convenient, flawless, and problem free as possible. We traveled to Hayman from Hamilton Island and from the moment we exited the terminal we knew our experience... More

It was meant to be the dream resort. Unfortunately it's nothing like that. First of all I would like to start with the positives: - The site is absolutely fantastic. Beautiful views, great beaches around the area and also nice vegetation in the resort. Hat off to the landscaper! - One of the restaurants "Fontaine" is outstanding (we went there... More

Thank you for your note and we are glad you find our Island so beautiful. I am disappointed though that you did not find some of our facilities to your liking. While we cannot do a lot with the architecture of the hotel we have and are continually upgrading furniture and have recently refurbished our restaurants and activities centre (with... More

We just returned from a 6 night stay, and given some of the negativity in the earlier reviews, I thought I’d share our experiences of the island. The Staff: The staff are really top notch.

My husband and i travelled in February 2011 on our honeymoon. Transfers and checkin were without event and we were in our room and relaxed in a matter of minutes. We stayed in a Retreat Room (as unfortunantly the beach villas were a little out of our price range) but were very happy with the rooms. Yes in previous reviews... More

My husband and I decided to spend our Christmas and New Year 11/12 on Hayman Island as we had previously lived at Airle Beach but unfortunately had never been to Hayman Island. We stayed for 9 nights which unfortunately was a huge mistake after 3 nights we felt totally trapped, on top of paying expensive food & wine prices as... More

Thank you for your note though we are sorry you did not enjoy your Festive experience with us. We have had many great comments on our Christmas Day and New Years Eve events so I would be happy to speak with you to understand if it was just the pricing or something more specific we need to improve on.

My wife and I spent 10 days in Hayman this January in the exclusive beach villas. Firstly, these are very special rooms and the accomodation is at the 5 star level. The rooms come with a plunge pool and accompanying butler service. We were treated like royalty. Previous reviews of Hayman describe it as a very expensive holiday destination. Well... More

My partner and I just spent 3 wonderful nights at Hayman Island. The service was unbelievable. Our room was serviced both morning and evening with the turn down service that left a chocolate and bottle of water for each of us. The only down side was the temperature of the pool. Seeing as though the weather was very warm the... More

We travelled from the US for our downunder experience and were recommended Hayman. It did not disappoint and our week stay at this resort even exceeded our expectations. From the time we walked off the boat onto the island until we left a week later my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our stay there. We are foodies... More

I have just returned from an outstanding holiday on Hayman Island from Monday to Saturday (January 23-28). It was one of the most enjoyable weeks I have had. For me, it was a last minute booking.
