The refurbished Daydream Island Resort is located in the heart of Queensland's Whitsunday Islands. The stylish and tranquil retreat offers modern rooms and suites with free WiFi and a full buffet breakfast. The resort features an open-air cinema, outdoor pools and three bars and restaurants.

While not as bougie as the Hayman Island Resort, there is a lot to do at this resort. There are 2 restaurants on the island and the food options include an asian restaurant and a burger and pizza type of place. But vegetarian options available too and a small gift shop in the main lobby. But the key thing is the amazing activities to do on the resort (swimming with stingrays, live reef, sunset beach area behind with a rainforest pathway too to hike, sailing lessons that can be done from the island and scubadiving from island. The island has two sides, one for day trip and one for people staying. Big pools to swim in plus beach side. Great views. Easy to access port to go to reef or white haven tours as well as snorkeling tours or back to mainland to airlie beach or hamilton island. Walaroos are cute as anything on the island and you can feed them apples and bread and rice etc. like they are your pet dog. The cockatoos too. There was also paint and sip and other activities as well. Very family friendly. There is an underwater observatory room(an aquarium of sorts) and morning yoga in that room. there is also a kids section and other such aquariums throughout. It is beautiful paradise

Located next to the beautiful Conway National Park, BIG4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort boasts an outdoor pool with sun loungers. All accommodation features a patio and garden views.

BIG4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort is only 4 minutes’ drive from Shute Harbour, the gateway to the 74 Whitsunday Islands. Airlie Beach and Funnel Bay are each within 5 minutes’ drive.

We loved our stay here! The temperature in the studio was very comfortable, the site was beautiful and it had everything we needed. The bed was the most comfortable we stayed in on our trip. We were worried about how we'd get into town without a car but the shuttles we'd booked (train station in proserpine, a sailing trip and to the airport) all stopped at BIG4 with no issues. The local buses also worked fine and were very affordable at $2.40 to the centre of town, worth knowing that the two we took were 10-20 minutes late (even the first bus of the day) so don't rely on them for any tight timings.

    The resort itself is not bad, bedrooms renovated and fairly new facilities in the main area of the resort. But the older part of it is pretty dead like a ghost town, sports facilities pretty old and not taken care off. The snorkeling options are all enclosed in tanks rather than open in the ocean, and pretty pricey for what it is. Not proper sandy beach to swim due to the reefs. Outdoor cinema was not working.

    What an amazing place to stay. Cannot recommend this resort enough. The staff provided an excellent customer experience. We were even lucky enough to be upgraded upon check in to a room with an ocean view. Facilities provided were exceptional. The room we were given was clean and very comfortable. Only downfall is that we didn’t stay long enough!

    It was a very chill resort with lots of beaches and pools. I really enjoyed that almost all the water sports were free to do at any time. The staff at both restaurants were so lovely and made sure to change menu items so they could fit my allergies.
