This review is especially for Mikey at the front desk. He was amazing. Extremely helpful and caring. We had a bit of an issue, but he amazingly sorted it out for us and went way above and beyond. You are a real asset to this resort. Lovely calm, friendly nature and took time out to show personal interest which nobody seems to do these days. Our biggest Thank You Mikey your help was so appreciated xx

The staff at the resort were impeccable. So friendly , it made such a difference. Almost Disney like in the way they greet, smile and ask how you are and if you need anything. The resort is spread-out so you can get away and be alone if you want that, food is ok, could have been my choices though, as everyone else loved it. Just a tranquil, almost secluded get away and feels a million miles form anywhere. Big shout out to Mike who made our checkout experience almost the best part of the trip.

There is a lot of good to say about Hayman Island but in our case, the bad outweighs it. My husband and I went to Hayman for our honeymoon. It is a beautiful location and hotel with friendly staff, however overall I was angered by 3 things: 1. Food quality was poor yet very very expensive 2. Being at the mercy of the one tour operator on the island who charge you an arm and a leg for activities (and they can because there is no competition). 3. Boring activities unless you want to pay exorbitant prices for them in a ‘supervised’ arrangement. For those who can be bothered to read on I’ve expanded on these 3 below: 1. Food quality: the breakfasts are 10/10, delicious!! As for the dinners however, they are really expensive and very hit and miss ranging from good to terrible - examples include pizza worse than what I can make at home (and I’m a terrible cook), another dish with defrosted peas poured over the top. I understand food is more expensive on a remote island and I’m happy to pay more but if we’re spending >$200 a night on dinners we still expect them to be good quality (and not be paying $13 for water every dinner). 2. Being at the mercy of the one tour operator on the island who charge you an arm and a leg for activities (and they can because there is no competition) - this was what really ruined the trip for us - make sure to read reviews for ‘Ocean Dynamics’ so you know what your in for. 3. Boring activities unless you want to pay for them in a ‘supervised’ arrangement; yes you can hire catamarans, stand up paddle boards and kayaks for free but only if you stay in the allocated zone which is right out of the front of the beach up to chest-deep water. You also have to sign a waiver saying it’s your fault if you die and have to wear a mouldy life jacket which smells like a mixture of rotten eggs and vomit. It’s such a beautiful place and if you’re going to make me sign a waiver that I’m responsible for my own death why not let me paddle out and explore around the island? They cater for the lowest common denominator. If you do want to take a kayak out and explore you will have to go on a guided tour and of course be charged a high price for it…. You’ll still sign that death waiver too. Also, with regard to the catamarans, they only take them out in a specific set of circumstances; tide over 2.2m and wind between 15 and 18 knots…. How they even measure this specific wind speed I don’t know. Safe to say they don’t take them out much. We regret our decision to go to Hayman Island. This was the first time staying at Hayman and we’ll never stay there again. Having said all of this, the island is beautiful and has so much potential. Hopefully Hayman Island Intercontinental can turn this around and make it the amazing place it has potential to be.…

Dear Rachel B, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us regarding your recent stay at InterContinental Hayman Island Resort. We appreciate you taking the time to provide your insights and are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Firstly, we are delighted that you found the location and the hotel itself beautiful and the staff friendly. Your compliments in these areas mean a lot to us, however, we also recognize your concerns, and have addressed them individually. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our breakfast offerings, however, we regret our dining experiences fell short of your expectations during your stay. I have shared your comments with our Food and Beverage department head to ensure that our processes are reviewed and with additional training provided where necessary. As well as highlighting the need for clearer communication around water options at dining venues, noting we offer all guests the option of complimentary tap water or bottled mineral water at an additional cost. We understand that your experience with the tour operator, Ocean Dynamics, was disappointing and apologise for any inconvenience or dissatisfaction you may have experienced as a result. We have passed on this feedback to the business director and manager to ensure that our third-party suppliers continue to positively reflect the wider business. As for our water sports activities, we strive for all guests to enjoy the natural beauty at our fingertips whilst adhering to strict permits and restrictions placed on us as a business. To be able to offer a range of complimentary water sports, we must enforce a strict safety zone, use of life jackets and inform all guests of evolving daily weather conditions. We sincerely apologise for any miscommunication surrounding this, as well as the use of our catamaran sailing, as we do require high tide to float and winds no stronger than 20 km/per hour per safety guidelines. Our beachfront team offer expert daily advice on these conditions, noting that when there’s little wind, you can’t move off the shore and are inevitably pushed into the rocks, or when there’s too much wind it becomes difficult to control and at risk of capsizing. For those guests interested in exploring more of our island, we offer guided pedal board and sea kayaking tours as per our permit permissions. The accompaniment of a trained guide increases the range of distance around the island whilst still meeting safety standards. However, these tours are also dependant on tide and weather conditions to ensure guest safety whilst creating more opportunities to explore and be active. We hope the above information and highlighting service issues internally reaffirms our commitment to continuously improving and delivering exceptional guest experiences. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future to show that these occurrences were the exception. Kind regards, Samantha Mountford Executive Assistant to the General Manager

The accommodation is tired like the rest of the resort. Upon arriving to our rooms we found stained bed sheets, they were not dirty just permanently stained and should not have been used. The room furniture is very tired and has list its support for seating. The food is expensive and poor to say the least especially at Amici restaurant. The fact that you can only use one your operator bring Ocean Dynamics is a big let down. They are not great. For the prices you pay there is much better alternatives. This is definitely our last visit to Hayman Island.

I decided to take my mum to Hayman Island to celebrate her 60th birthday. From the moment we arrived at the lounge on Hamilton island to the transfer back all staff were extremely accommodating, and nothing felt like too much of an ask. The island is a beautiful place to relax and wind down, the resort is so relaxing and there are plenty of activities available. The dining options were great, and again staff were lovely at every interaction. We will be back!!!

Our stay at Intercontinental Hayman Island Resort was nothing short of spectacular. The hotel’s elegant design, combined with its top-notch amenities, made for a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience. The attentive and courteous staff catered to my every need, ensuring that my stay was as comfortable as possible. One thing that stood out and we want to give a special mention about was Messa!. While reading the reviews before coming over to Hayman Island, seeing Messa’s name mentioned so many times, made us yearn and eager to want to meet this person. When we arrived and we finally met him,it was the most amazing experience ever!! No wonder there’s so many reviews about him!. This guy is the Icon of Hayman Island, from our point of view. We got along so well on our first encounter and it feels like we’ve known this guy from a very long time on how warmth and welcoming he was and just his Positive Vibe and Energy has a great impact not only to us but to guest around us even to his colleagues as well as we’ve noticed. The trivia night experience was Fun when he hosted it and we ended it with the Hayman Dance and Congo Line on that lounge which was phenomenal where everyone just joined and had a lot of Fun that night. Thank you Messa for being our whole experience and the Highlight of our Stay. We are surely going to come back to Hayman Island just because of this amazing guy. We Love Hayman Island with its convenient location and outstanding service, Intercontinental Hayman Island Resort has quickly become our go-to choice for accommodations whenever we travel to the area. 5 star rating indeed!…

I'm a DJ & solo traveller. My experience is quite unique as I was flown in by a couple getting married at The InterContinental Hayman Island Resort 🎧 🔊🙌🏽 I was there to play/DJ their wedding reception & celebrations which were nothing short of EPIC! I stayed 2 nights in total and I write this review as a paying guest (second night). Before I begin, I should say that I've stayed previously (2 occasions) at The InterContinental in Fiji. One time there to DJ a wedding and the other to DJ a corporate event. So I'm familiar with InterContinental Resorts. The Hayman Island resort itself was a stand-out- Immaculately kept, brilliant and beautiful in design- Much of which many other reviewers will detail. Facilities, including restaurants, breakfast and gym were brilliant! However, in this review, I would like to say that a big part of my completely positive experience is attributed to the staff 😊 Here are the stand-outs, of whom I truly appreciate: ☆Hannah Maynard (Events Executive): WOWWWW!! In all of my time & experience of playing weddings, I've not come across anyone in this role who cares for couples as much as Hannah does. Hannah's genuine care and attention was outstanding and I cannot thank her enough for all of her work that made the most awesome celebration in the most beautiful setting possible. Jordyn as well- She represented IHG brilliantly from the start (aware that I'm also an IHG member) and greeted me on time with such care and dedication. Absolute perfection from Hannah and Jordyn. Thank you. ☆Messa: Customer experience- What a vibe! His energy and warmth is unforgettable. Nothing was too much trouble for Messa and his assistance is truly appreciated. He seem to be so fluid with operations and it was easy to see how highly capable he is. I hope that all future guests have the opportunity to meet him. ☆John (Gerard): The coolest professional that I came across. Help made easy... All with a smile and a way that is with a calming flow. A great energy and asset to the business. ☆Emily B: I came across Emily via her service at breakfast and also for dinner at Bam Bam. Her interaction is bright, aware and all with care. I loved Emily's way. Her presence was always so uplifting and helpful at the same time. You cannot leave your eating spot without a lasting impression that is attributed to her whole essence. ☆Kesaia (customer relations and reception): Kesaia's professional, yet personalised engagement is something that I experienced and was a stand-out quality for me. Kesaia's genuine and authentic interaction is one that put me at ease in knowing that I was being assisted by someone who is not only capable, but also doing so from the heart. Overall, it was evident for me to see that the working culture at The Intercontinental is one that is positive and leaves customers like myself feeling so good. Management should be acknowledged snd congratulated for such an outstanding job. My solo stay as a paying guest on night 2 was a magical experience and I am most grateful for every part of my stay. To Couples Getting Married: I could not recommend The InterContinental Hayman Island Resort highly enough. The food was sensational, the aesthetics were stunning and the service was impeccable. For Solo Travellers: I only wish I had just 1 extra whole day to purely relax at one of the pools.. I did the most awesome bush trek to a secluded beach and felt the overall time fly by. If R&R is what you seek, then do it! It's definitely worth it. To The InterContintental Hayman Island Resort: Thank you to all for making my time there as a guest more than just a stay... My entire experience could not have been better!…

Yes! We have just returned from our 3rd visit to Hayman Island this year. In just over a 2 hour flight from Sydney we landed in the beautiful Whitsundays. We were warmly welcomed by Hayman concierge and boarded our luxury launch transfer soon after. At one hour, the trip across the aqua waters to Hayman feels way too short. The chilled beverages and tasty nibbles we are served, reminds us of the Hayman hospitality that awaits. The staff and management on Hayman Island truly strive to make your stay enjoyable in every way. They are friendly and knowledgeable of the island and will assist you in filling every day of your stay with adventure or they will leave you in peace so you can relax, unwind and do absolutely nothing. We stayed in the beach villa this time. With its own pool and breathtaking, uninterrupted water views, we had no choice but to extend our stay. The villas are light, airy and spacious with sun lounges and outdoor seating for reading a book, having a chat with friends or just some alone time to be calm and breathe. For us, Hayman is our favourite Australian getaway. It is so close yet so far. There are several gorgeous accommodation choices, have a look at them all on line, I know you will fall in love! There a several restaurants and dining options, I do advise that you look at the menus and book ahead to save disappointment. The seafood buffet is deliciously tempting and worth every cent. I could write for hours about this very special place and its staff. The management truly cares about making your stay in Paradise perfect. Give it a go! …
