Beautiful spacious room with a lovely patio area with a hammock. The island is absolutely beautiful and small enough to traverse on foot, albeit hilly. A bus is available instead of walking. The room is close to the marina and all restaurants, and close enough to the main hotel reception (although we never really needed to go there anyway). The pool is open and public, and swimming activities such as snorkeling gear, cataramans, kayaks, etc are all freely available on request, which we made good use of to see and swim with turtles and stingrays on Catseye beach. The staff may tell you sting suits are not required, and almost nobody else will be wearing one, but my advice is just wear it anyway. A sting from the jellyfish in this area can and will ruin your holiday very quickly. The restaurants are expensive and seafood-heavy, but there are non-seafood options available at the bakery, pizzeria, fish & chips, and the tavern at the marina. Overall, the palm bungalows (where we stayed) are cheaper than many other rooms on the island, and it's probably good value for money for the accommodation - just remember to consider other costs associated with food in the area; albeit offset by free activities in the sea if that's your thing!

The shower was great and the free shampoo, body lotion in dispensers etc. The lawn with wallabies outside and the privacy of plant cover just outside the patio. The hammock and outside furniture was great too. The quality of the bedlinen and the helpful housekeeping staff. The helpfulness of staff on reception at Reef View Hotel and the willingness of all staff to help with any query. The clearly signposted walks and trails and maps from reception. The Hamilton Island app was very useful and also the television information. It was great to find gluten free pizza at the Pizzaria and some gluten free options at the supermarket. The beach was well cared for and almost completely free from litter. The wildlife was amazing from sulphur crested cockatoos to the rays and crabs. We loved the well kept gardens too. Wallabies and walleroos were a treat to see as well as curlews and kookaburra. We enjoyed the movie package. It was good value for the week.

It was very clean and modern - easy to get from the airport to checkin and then onto our rooms. Close to the free bus, buggy hire, pools and the beach.

Location, roomy, large shower, outside veranda and hammock. Felt secluded although in busy area, comfy large bed and large sofa. Adequate kitchenette, had a safe and other facilities. Staff were great. Had fan and aircon. Wallabys roaming free. Buses to ferry you around.

The property was nice and was in a nice location away from the hassle and bustle of the mail hotel . It was lovely seeing the kangaroos in the morning outside your veranda.

Bungalows are part of the hotel so you get all the services included like luggage transfer, etc. A lot of conveniences like take away and food delivery, an app with all the maps, great hiking trails for all skill levels. Wildlife all around, which is very unique to see as a traveller. The sunset from the top of one tree hill is unforgettable.

Loved staying in the bungalows! Private and close to everything. We were in Bungalow 20. Easy walk to pool and close to marina. We hired a buggy and that was awesome to take to go up to watch the sunset. When we arrived on ferry, we were picked up immediately and taken to check in, then taken to Bungalow. So smooth.
