Food is on pricy side and after couple.of days stayimg gets boring as they menu is same almost everyday.
Location is great for relaxing for family with kids.
Staff are nice, beautiful little Island & nice views, 3 nights is enough time to explore & enjoy, although rooms are somewhat dirty, buffet breakfast was a delight.

The staff make it, they are exceptional especially the marine biologists. Can’t thank them enough and the island has just enough to do for a 4 night stay to keep the kids busy.
We willl be back.
Hotel good, room was great overlooking the ocean, food options restrictive between breakfast and lunch, suggest the pool bar to has a 10-4 snack/lunch menu

We had a lovely stay. Location is stunning. The room was clean however a little tired looking and we had to have maintenance fix a few things during our stay. The breakfasts were great lots of variety. Would have liked to do more dinners but the nightly buffets were too expensive for a family. All in all we would still recommend this resort to others, a wonderful tropical getaway.
We loved our time at Daydream. The staff were lovely. There is so much or very little to do. Loved the snorkeling and the reef. The room was fabulous with the best view. Would be better with more affordable food options. Perfect holiday.
