Reviews for InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef
Iryna Solar
We’re currently staying at the InterContinental Hayman Island Resort, and it truly feels like paradise. From the moment we arrived, everything has been exceptional - the breathtaking surroundings, the warm and attentive service, and the ease of it all, even with our 6-month-old baby. There’s so much to do and explore as a family. We loved the hike to Pearl Bay with its stunning views, and sailing was an unforgettable experience. The resort is immaculately clean and well cared for, which gave us great peace of mind travelling with a baby. While there wasn’t an option to upgrade our room this time, it hasn’t taken away from the experience. The room we have has stunning views and comfortable, and the overall quality of our stay has been outstanding. You honestly don’t need to go to Fiji or Bali - this is world-class resort right here in Australia. The service has been flawless, and the range of dining options is great. Our favourite has been Pacific - their grilled dishes are absolutely top-tier. We’re still here, soaking it all in, and already dreaming about our next visit. Hayman is the perfect mix of natural beauty, comfort, and outstanding hospitality. And huge + for us from those who want to travel here with a baby

I absolutely loved this hotel and location. The boat ride from airport to hotel was spectacular. Staff were professional. During our stay the weather wasn’t great but we still managed to get out for some hill walks, we couldn’t avail of the free water sports. We are given a nice water bottle so that we could refill at the water stations throughout the hotel which was really welcomed. Food was fine dining …my only negative comment would be the hotel needs to improve on the entertainment provided during the wet season .

My husband & I stayed at Hayman intercontinental resort from June 9th-13th 2025. Prod: We had a pool/Ocean view king suite (240), the layout was spacious, relaxing and practical, the bed was super comfortable and the toiletries were stocked well. The views were stunning/breathtaking. 99.9% of staff were always super friendly, engaging & always happy to help. Cocktails were a win. Food was great, complementary daily breakfast a win. Cons: our room hadn’t been dusted or mopped for quite sometime. Noise from guests above or beside was annoying at times (early morning banging of doors). One member of staff too busy on his phone for 20min before I had to go and ask if everything was ok with my drink order (he was rude). The island is for being pool side all day reading a book, drinking or sleeping. The beach is not great for barefoot.

Stayed for a week with the wife and kids. They were very accommodating with any requests. The pool is huge so no matter how many people are in it you're not on top of each other. The breakfast buffet is amazing. Be sure to book all dinners and activities before you get there otherwise you're in trouble. The staff are exceptional. Great experience overall.

The resort is simply splendid. From the facilities to the rooms, we were extremely impressed. We also loved all the food and thought the quality was fantastic. Unfortunately, it's when service comes in that things start to decline significantly. Although every staff member was nice & friendly, we really struggled with skills levels & attention to details. In the restaurants (but especially Amici), none of them knew the ingredients on our plates, it can take a while to get attention for drinks, clearing plates etc. They forgot our orders or got the wrong table multiple times in just a few nights.. We also had some issues with our room and it took days to resolve small issues, we were told many times 'someone would come soon' but unfortunately we had to follow up multiple times. The Spa was outstanding, the quality of care there was above our expectations. We would like to sincerely thank: Rykyana from BamBam & Sam from breakfast for their excellent service!
