Property in great location for beach and walking tracks in hills behind. The que at breakfast was quite long but not a big issue. Possibly need a few more coffee machines as one wasn't working and the other was a little temperamental Otherwise, a wonderful relacing holiday on Hamilton Island

Sadly the property is a little run down and is in need up a reno. The food options are limited on the island and you need to book before you even leave to go on holiday to get a table.

You will literally be living in a tropical paradise full of natural wonders! Cockatoos will come visit your balcony from the nearby national forest, a warm sea breeze will greet you every day, together with spectacular sunrises, and everything is walking distance! If you’re not feeling like walking though there are FREE shuttles across this island, including the Reef View Hotel, which run every 10 mins and take you most places. It’s clean here, well maintained, very well organised, and great facilities, especially for families. Highly recommend staying here.

Remarkable view, and friendly staff. School holiday periods remove the à la carte option from the restaurant and replace it with a buffet which won’t suit everyone. The rooms are dated, but clean and comfortable. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Rooms on the upper floors are highly recommended as the view from the balcony is breathtaking. The pool area is very small and the loungers are always taken. However the beach is over the road and is gorgeous. We travelled during school holidays when the restaurant only had buffets available which were hideously expensive. Room service was a better option. A coffee machine in the room would have been welcome. Very well located on the island.

The view from a reef room was terrific. The room and hotel are looking very tired needs a big update. All the free sports are good if you are young and healthy but nothing for elderly or part disabled paying guests. Also dining options non existent same old things night after night. One very important thing it needs a ramp up into the hotel not just huge steps.
