Staff were mostly good. The room however wasn't. It was dirty, in need of a deep clean, we found a couple of cockroaches, getting help to fix stuff like making another bed up as requested prior to arrival was more difficult than it needed to be. The foxtel kept on dropping out and needing rebooting. The gym and sauna were full with staff, making use of these facilities challenging. The bathroom Items needed topping up, not something you want to be bothered with when u get in the shower, they should be checked. The front of the bungalow was dirt and turned to mud in the rain. Needs some plants/ garden. People were smoking outside their bungalows which was v unpleasant. Check in was a nitemare, over 30min

Hamilton Island was well worth a visit but if we come again a 3 to 4 night stay is plenty. Best thing on the island is Hamilton Golf Course (which is a 10min boat ride away) and would be the primary reason we come back. Part of the pool area and restaurant was being refurbished so all other restaurants and pools were very busy and you needed to pre book all, which we fortunately did. Our biggest criticism would be that the age of the staff is very young and with that comes a lack of service professionalism.

Very basic room, suited us for a one night stay but wouldn’t have been great for longer. It’s not clear from the listing where this property is located. It’s basically an extension of the Reef View Hotel. Music at the swim up pool bar was excellent.

We stayed in one of the Palm Bungalows and loved the size, privacy and it was a highlight to see the wallabies each day walking around. Having coffee with the koalas each morning at the cafe' was a huge bonus as well. This place is very special. It was nice to have access to catamarans, kayaks, and transportation to the town and airport included. We loved having hiking trails and extensive beach access available. My one 'area of development' would be that it would be nice to have deep clean in the bathroom during my stay and removal of plates used from the room vs. leaving them during our stay. Since there are so many included amenities (thank you) please consider having a complimentary coffee stand for a quick coffee to go before the cafe' opens. All in all though would highly recommend. This place is fabulous!

Absolutely loved palm bungalows, really happy with our choice to stay there. Slightly out of the way of the hustle and bustle of the main hotel but with access to all the facilities which was perfect for us as a couple. Easily walkable to all the amenities and facilities. Definitely recommend.
