Hayman is just a fantastically located island, the natural beauty of this part of the Whitsundays is hard to beat. The resort has been considered the premier spot for many years, true it may have lost some of its prestige, but it is still a great place.
I had a lagoon view room and the birdlife and fauna of the lagoon is quite a contract to the pool view rooms and the large wrap around pool. The beach at Hayman is great and the sand bars at low tide provide endless walks.
The dining options I experience were first class and the breakfast tables overlooking the water is a great way to start the day.
Best Bits - Beach, location and incredible colour of sea.
Worst Bits - In the middle of large re-investment program, this could be seen as a positive.
