Overall, I would highly recommend staying at the Hayman Island Intercontinental resort. The property is incredibly well maintained, and the island itself is a true paradise for those looking to get away for a tropical retreat. The only negative feedback I have about this resort comes down to the overall service provided here. While all of the staff were friendly and helpful, I found that when it came to execution, the service was lacking. There were multiple instances during my 3 day stay where our requests for were ignored or significantly delayed. As an example, it took over an hour for our drink order to be delivered even after multiple follow ups. Additionally, the food itself at the restaurants leaves a lot to be desired with the price you pay. The quality of ingredients is great, but the overall taste was very average. I would still recommend staying here as we had a great time on the island. It's hard to complain about much when you are surrounded by incredible beauty and amazing wildlife. We stayed in a private suite and one night we had close to 30 wallabies come up to our place for a late-night dinner! Very cool experience that you can't get anywhere else.
