Overall, I would highly recommend staying at the Hayman Island Intercontinental resort. The property is incredibly well maintained, and the island itself is a true paradise for those looking to get away for a tropical retreat. The only negative feedback I have about this resort comes down to the overall service provided here. While all of the staff were friendly and helpful, I found that when it came to execution, the service was lacking. There were multiple instances during my 3 day stay where our requests for were ignored or significantly delayed. As an example, it took over an hour for our drink order to be delivered even after multiple follow ups. Additionally, the food itself at the restaurants leaves a lot to be desired with the price you pay. The quality of ingredients is great, but the overall taste was very average. I would still recommend staying here as we had a great time on the island. It's hard to complain about much when you are surrounded by incredible beauty and amazing wildlife. We stayed in a private suite and one night we had close to 30 wallabies come up to our place for a late-night dinner! Very cool experience that you can't get anywhere else.

I have been coming to Hayman Island for 30+ years and stayed in a variety of rooms over the years. The beach villa we stayed at has been slightly renovated, but is still tiered. The wall switches for the electric blinds and fans work only intermittently. . There were other peoples bags in our room when we arrived which was very “off putting” and each time we wanted ice it took 3 times to get it. We tried calling, emailing and texting (even going to reception to ask for it in person).They were very apologetic, but it just kept happening. On New Years Eve we wanted room service and the app just didn’t work properly. We had to order each meal separately and they arrived 20 mins apart, so my partner finished his meal before mine even arrived! On New Years Day we couldn’t even get a glass of champagne bc they said they don’t serve alcohol before 11am!?! Really? Our mini bar wasn’t replaced each day, and back in the day, it was all inclusive in that particular villa except the alcohol! The main pool area is very tired and for such an exclusive hotel needs a facelift! The best part of our stay (besides the Whitsundays itself) was the spa and hair salon which had great staff and service. For a room that was nearly $2k per night, I would assume the airport transfers would’ve been included, instead they charged us $440 PER person! My memories of Hayman island were overshadowed by all of these poor incidents. Our experience from all these poor incidents was a complete let down :-(

Setting is fabulous, outlook fantastic, food incredible. All restaurant venues quality of food was excellent. Majority of staff were excellent, (Atama a standout). Staff need senior management in all areas as some staff were standing around talking more than serving. (Especially at the main pool area). This is not the young kids fault but lack of investment by upper management to supply and enforce high hospitality standards
