This hotel is way past its glory days. It all feels like 1985. It is sad and depressing. The prices are out of control. The staff is indifferent and the grounds and rooms need a lot of work. They say they are undergoing renovations, but a facelift will not help. It needs a complete overhaul. The famous pool is gross... more

Well what more can I say really..... It was Dreadful, Dreadful, Dreadful. I am ashamed to say that the only hotel I have ever truly felt this way about is in my own home country. Why? 1. Poorly trained staff - I think they are all backpackers, who are lazy, indifferent or just dumbed down. Most of the staff will... more

I have a lot to say, so I have put it under headings: SERVICE We have today returned from a fabulous five night stay at Hayman, having travelled there for my sister's wedding. I had read the numerous, frequently disparaging reviews of Hayman on this site and so had not been particularly excited about going there. HOWEVER, now we have... more

I spent 6 days at Hayman last month with my daughter, son-in-law and 3 small children. It was a wonderful experience. My only regret is that I can't afford to return on my own with my significant other! The Pool Wing suite rooms were spacious, comfortable and well appointed, overlooking the "famous Hayman Pool". The pool would be better for... more

I have just returned from Hayman Island after agonizing whether to go or not. It is so hard to spend this kind of money (at least for me) when there are really really good reviews and really really bad reviews. So, I will do my best to be as objective as possible as I can now see both sides of... more

My husband and I got married here a few weeks ago and we had a fantastic day! The wedding planner did a great job and the other staff members who were helping out at our wedding were really good. They really make sure you have a perfect day. We were upgraded to a pool suite and the room was very... more

Hayman is pitched as being a luxury five star resort, it isn’t. I came from a great stay of five nights at Qualia on Hamilton Island for a two night stay on Hayman. From the moment we left the Qualia folk the whole experience began. The Launch boat that picked us up at Hamilton Island promised a luxury cruise as... more

We arrived at Hayman after a smooth transfer from Shute Harbour with drinks and canapes in an air conditioned launch - very nice! We were upgraded to a Pool room which had a great view of the ocean and pool which we didnt even ask for so that was really nice. We went straight to the pool and helped ourselves... more
