Had a fantastic trip here. Facilities were excellent, however the hotel was looking a little dirty and tired. Considering the price per night, and the extremely high prices for all the food and beverages, I would have thought this would have been a bit more up to scratch. Most of the staff were very friendly.

We had an amazing stay at Hayman Island InterContinental. The rooms were large, beautifully furnished, and incredibly comfortable. The buffet breakfast was excellent, with a fantastic variety of fresh and delicious options each morning. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, making us feel well looked after throughout our stay. There was also a wide range of experiences and activities on offer, so there was always something to enjoy. The island is absolutely stunning, with some of the most beautiful views we've ever seen. It truly is a spectacular destination, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable getaway.

Fabulous 4 night trip to Hayman. Just the most beautiful scenery and grounds and a very friendly staff. We enjoyed the excursions snorkeling and seeing Whitehaven Beach. We initially had a lagoon room which we didn’t love so we upgraded to a second floor room overlooking the pool. They were very accommodating. Used the gym and ate at all the restaurants. We also enjoyed the great acoustic guitar player each night.

We had a really nice time at the resort the people were friendly and helpful, particularly on the excursions. Lots of young people, many of them inexperienced, and that showed up a little bit at the restaurants. Some super nice workers, but in some cases not terribly efficient or quick. The property is beautiful, although in places it feels a little worn at the elbows and not five-star tidy. Overall, it was more solid than spectacular in that regard. Food too was good, not great. I know I’m sounding picky – our vacation was great – but this place could be next level with a bit more attentiveness and TLC. At a place like this, with nature perpetually converging in, somebody should be cleaning at all times. That’s a tough task at a large property, yes, but you would see that at a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. That said, we came away with some great memories and new friends.

Staff are amazing, accommodation was beautiful and food was divine. A luxe experience all round. Only gripe was the visa surcharge when settling the bill and the weekend surcharges at the restaurants, which seems unnecessary especially as they don’t take cash so no other way to pay. When you’re spending so much, this seems an over the top charge.

I expected more for a premium resort at $1k + per night. Only 2 restaurants were good - Amici (Italian) and Bam Bam (Asian). Pacific and BBQ was average. The Breakfast was very good with lots of choices. The swimming pool was a highlight. Clean and huge. Pool food at the Aqua restaurant was good. The room was average- stained carpet, broke tiles, mould in the bathroom - but very spacious. The gents toilets in the resort were out of order for most of our stay which was is not acceptable.

I really enjoyed my stay at the IHG in Hayman Island. The break was nice and just what we needed to relax. The hotel staff were super attentive and I could not fault them- from nice personal touches in the room, Christmas gifts and much much more they really did individualise the stay. The facilities in the hotel were excellent and liked how the complex was spaced out. Though at full capacity, you never felt like the hotel was crowded. Though I would not class it as a disappointment, I would argue that the food outside of breakfast was slightly over-priced. The quality and quantity of the food did not match the inflated prices. Understand we are on a remote island. Other than that amazing experience.

Amazing spot however the hotel did not meet our standard of a 5 star hotel. Bed was uncomfortable, air conditioning didn’t work one night, there was a tray of of cigarettes in the outdoor shower, upon arrival we had to wait 1.5 hours for our room with no access to our baggage. All staff were 5 star and their service was amazing.

It was absolutely beautiful. The ocean and the views were amazing and the pool was very nice. Breakfast was great. Dinners were expensive and selections were somewhat limited and the first night we were told all the restaurants were full on a Monday and they did not seem that busy. Room was beautiful. Long hike to blue pearl bay for snorkeling but once there, was nice. Nice gym. I would definitely nitely come back
