Reviews for InterContinental Hayman Island Resort
Hayman lacking
Very disappointed. Was expecting to be blown away but resort incredibly tired and dated. Locations is beautiful and staff delightful. Decor is very generic and sterile, gardens and lawns half dead. Not much atmosphere at all. Needs an huge makeover.

Underwhelming
Location is magical, setting beautiful. Atmosphere lacking, it feels sterile, lacking warmth. We are not the sort of people to complain. It’s a tired dated development which desperately needs maintenance including a more thorough clean, paintwork is badly in need of attention and improvement, grassed areas are dead, not lush, garden area around breakfast area, Pacific Restaurant and reception really lacks a green, lush and luxurious feel. For what is paid per night for a room, it’s just not fair value for money. Sun lounges and cushions are battered and stained. There is so much that could be done to make this a sought after and talked about destination but it falls short. The staff were an exception. So friendly and obliging. We won’t be returning. It’s not that we hated the experience, just underwhelming in almost every respect. We will go to Hamilton Island next time. It appears the owners of the resort don’t care enough and the standards set overall fell well short of our expectations. A MAJOR overhaul is required!!
