Frommer's Review
This is the most luxurious, glitzy, and glamorous resort in Australia. Check-in is done over a glass of bubbly aboard the resort's sleek launch, which meets you at Hamilton Island Airport. On arrival, you won't take long to find your way through the open-air sandstone lanais, cascading ponds, and tropical foliage to the fabulous hexagonal complex of swimming pools by the sea. Despite the luxury, Hayman is relaxed. Dress is beachwear by day, smart casual at night (pack something elegant for dinner, if you wish). An impressive lineup of activities is available, and it's probably fair to say the staff at Hayman can organize almost anything you desire.
While Hayman is renowned for the antiques, artworks, and fine objets d'art gracing its public areas, the accommodations are welcoming. Every room, suite, villa, and penthouse has a balcony or terrace, bathrobes, and valet service (and butler service in the penthouses). Retreat rooms each have a private veranda, open patios, and outdoor rinse showers. For even greater privacy, the Beach Villa has a private Balinese-style courtyard, walled gardens, a private infinity plunge pool, and personalized concierge service. Spa Chakra Hayman has 13 treatment rooms, a meditation suite, a hydrotherapy area, saunas, and steam rooms.
Facilities: 4 restaurants; 2 bars; 3 pools (1 saltwater, 2 heated freshwater); beachside 9-hole golf putting green; 5 lit tennis courts (w/ball machine and coaching); extensive health club; spa; outdoor Jacuzzi; watersports; dive center; daily kids' club (ages 5-14), day care for younger kids; game room; concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning
