As soon add you arrive at Hamilton island and board the hayman boat you are treated like a VIP. Multiple glasses of sparkling wine, canapes and chocolates. The staff are very attentive and friendly and the service is very good. As this was part of our honeymoon we received 3 free bottles of wine over our stay. On our first... More

I spent two nights on Hayman Island to relax in the middle of a work trip to Australia so was after relaxation, great food and great weather. From the moment i arrived at Hamilton Island airport to connect to my launch transfer to Hayman until the moment I disembarked there again at the end of my stay everything was perfect.... More

Our third visit in 2 years , and once again our expectations were rewarded We loved the staff who all were all happy to share a little bit of their own lives and experiences whilst being both efficient and attentive. It is this type of personable care that has had us return twice and look forwarding to our next trip.... More

Beautiful BUT so incredibly overpriced, everything is extra: the kids club for example, you are talking about over $100 for 3 kids of the same family. Service is appalling bad, so bad that there were not able to bring us a banana for breakfast, and the maid would ask me everyday if she needed to mop the floor or could... More

We received a fantastic welcome at the airport. We were the only people at Hamilton Airport to be taken to Hayman, so they whisked us away in a helicopter! We had a great view of the property as we went into it. Everyone was great. The room wasn't ready when we arrived, so they took us to a bar overlooking... More

I must admit we were a bit apprehensive about what our stay would be like at Hayman because of some of the negative reviews, however, after our wonderful vacation there for 5 days in February, we were thrilled with the resort. The boat launch ride over to the island from Hamilton Island immediately made us feel welcomed with champagne,snacks and... More

My husband and I visited this resort as part of a business/ incentive group. Once we landed on Hamilton Island the resort launch was a few steps away and ready to take us to the resort. The trip is about an hour and refreshments/ snacks were served with a smile. Once we arrived our bags were whisked away and we... More

While it is great to hear that you very much enjoyed the breakfasts at Azure, the island escapade and the launch transfer experience it is disappointing that you weren't completely satisfied with the level of service. We will certainly take your comments into consideration and appreciate your feedback. We do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again to... More
