Frommer's Review
One of the Whitsundays' oldest resorts is now one of Australia's most extensive and modern spa resorts. Daydream Island has a mixed clientele consisting of families and those seeking pampering and luxury. Features such as the outdoor cinema and kids' club have always made it popular with families, but the 16 therapy rooms at the Rejuvenation Spa appeal to those who are seeking one of the most sophisticated and well-equipped health resorts in Australia. The state-of-the-art spa has an in-house naturopath and a range of computerized health analyses using equipment and tests usually found only in clinics in Europe and the United States, such as iridology and measurement of vitamin and mineral imbalances and antioxidant levels. Rooms are large, smart, and comfortable, with uninterrupted ocean views. The "village" at the southern end of the island, a short stroll along the boardwalk from the resort, has shops, cafes, a pool and bar, a water-activities center, and a tavern serving bistro-style meals. A rainforest walk stretches almost the entire length of the kilometer-long (just over half a mile) island; other activities include snorkeling, sailboarding, jet-skiing, parasailing, coral viewing, reef fishing, diving and dive school, tennis, volleyball, and minigolf.
Facilities:
3 restaurants; 3 bars; 3 freshwater outdoor pools (1 heated); 2 lit tennis courts; 3 Jacuzzis; watersports equipment; tour desk; coin-op laundry
