7.8/10 Good! (797 reviews)

Just back from a wonderful stay at Daydream Island resort! 🌴 The living reef experience was incredible - snorkeling among the coral and marine life was a highlight of my trip 🐠🐳. The resort's location is perfect, and the multiple pools offer a great spot to relax 🌊. The aquatic life on the island is amazing, with plenty of fish and other creatures to spot. One thing that was a bit of a letdown was the spa treatment - decent options, but quite expensive. While my overall experience was great, I did find a few things missing - no all-inclusive meal and drinks option, no steam or sauna, and no mini bar in the rooms. These additions would take the resort to the next level and make it even more enthralling. Still, I highly recommend Daydream Island for its beauty and charm. With a few tweaks, it could be truly unforgettable!

9.8/10 Exceptional! (35 reviews)

We absolutely loved our short-stay (too short) at Elysian. Everything was just perfect. The private island is so peaceful and tranquil. The activities available are plentiful and nature oriented. The food is just divine - every meal was beautifully prepared with the freshest ingredients and meant we did not have to worry about a thing. The cherry on top is the service - each staff member (Alice, Emily, and Nathan in particular) was delightful and attentive, and would do everything in their power to make our stay even more special. We cannot recommend Elysian more highly - we will definitely be coming back!
