Perfectly located - rooms/view were amazing. Facilities were very much appreciated. Couple of times, staff told us the incorrect information or did not come back to fix problems but on the whole the staff were excellent.

The hotel is well kept for an older property. Bed isn’t very comfortable but the room is clean and spacious. I thought we will get a higher floor based off the description of the type of room we booked but was provided a room on the 5th floor. Still great views though. We were allowed to check in way before check in time which was amazing. The staff were friendly, professional and always smiling. Haven’t had such great service in a long time. Loved the pool and facilities. The only disappointing thing is the food. Price aside (which is expected for an island), the food was either bland one night or too salty another night. Menu options were basic and uninteresting.

Housekeeping was not great, room needs a refurb as the toilet was a bit dated and moldy. Good things were staff were well informed and friendly, breakfast buffet was amazing, view from balcony/room & the glass lifts were exciting. The baby conceirge was very thoughtful, overall a good experience & value for money.

Another good trip on Hamilton Island. Happy to come back each year. This year we didn’t get the renovated rooms at the Reef View so they felt dated, but still clean and comfortable.

My wife and I went here for our 10 year anniversary. We informed them through Expedia that it was our anniversary but never received any response online or in person. Initial room was disappointing but we were changed to a better room pretty quickly which was nice. Pleasant stay overall although it would have been decent to get a free late checkout rather than have to pay $50. We got one free drink when checking out as staff felt bad about the lack of communication.
