My son got married at Hayman Intercontinental Hotel. What a disappointment not just for me but for the bridal couple as well. Once signed with the hotel to do the wedding there it was really difficult to get hold of the venue. Telephone kept ringing out. I am from WA and was not able to get hold of the hotel to make my reservation and eventually went to Flight Centre who booked all my travel. Thanks Flight Centre. As I used Flight Centre the Hotel has charged me for my Ferry costs and refuse to refund me for this. Ferry fees were supposed to be part of the wedding package. After disputing this with the hotel they refuse to refund me and on top of this have drawn more funds out of my account 7 days after departure. While staying there a Cockatoo got into our room and trashed it. I was also charged for the damages caused by the Bird. On arrival my room was not ready, and I had to sit and wait at the pool for 2 hours with my family. I find it strange that I was not refunded for these 2 hours that I had lost. They also charged me $490 for childcare for 7 hours. Rip off Bottom Line is this place is a rip off and nothing WOW. My beaches where I live at are much more spectacular.

Exceptional stay at Hayman for our Honeymoon. All the staff are so friendly and attentive. Special shout out to the entire breakfast team, Isla and Camila who took us on a sand flat tour. Breakfast spread was amazing each and every day and Bam Bam was pick of the restaurants. Great place to just completely slow down and take it all in.

Fantastic breakfast team, they are caring and very polite, no request is too much . The breakfast is sensational, lots of different choices from the European style croissant to the very delicious chia pudding . Thank you for having us and make our holiday so special. 10/10

Atama and his breakfast team were phenomenal. Best hotel breakfast I have ever had. The spread is sensational and the service leaves nothing to be desired. Looking forward to coming back again.

Our 3 day stay on the island was memorable - for all the right reasons. We upgraded to a suite which was so spacious with great facilities and views. Food offerings were very generous. Staff friendly and approachable. Well worth considering for a winter break!
