Hayman Island is incredibly nice. If the price is not an obstacle, that is definitely the place to go.
The resort is the only thing on the island, so you are captive wrt prices. In addition to room charge, count on spending on meals and other activities (don't expect to skip out to a coffee shop for a cheap, quick breakfast).
