The Honeymooners Down Under: Killer View from Hayman Island

Where: Great Barrier Reef, Hayman, QLD, Australia, 4700

HotelChatter's Senior Editor Juliana borrowed a page from vintage Britney Spears' 2004 playbook and got hitched after a brief engagement. Juliana and spouse went a little further than Brit and K-Fed's honeymoon in Fiji by spending their first few weeks of newlywed bliss in Sydney, Australia with a sidetrip to the Whitsunday Islands. For the rest of the week, she'll be telling you where she stayed and whether or not it was honeymoon appropriate. So, if you have any questions about honeymoon or Australia travel, send 'em our way.

This was the killer view from Beach Front Villa #7 at the Hayman Island Resort in Australia. Located about two and a half hours outside Sydney (you take a plane to Great Barrier Reef airport, then a boat to Hayman), the island is amidst the Whitsunday Islands in the Great Barrier Reef. Nothing else exists on this island except for the resort and staff quarters. Which makes it pretty ideal.

Indeed the resort is a consistent favorite of Travel+Leisure but we're not sure it's quite up to speed. Stick around for our full review of the resort coming later today where we report on the good, the bad and those damn cockatoos.
