Hotel was great! Love that there are 3 different pool options nearby and a gym with tennis courts and mini golf next door. Also very close to the golf cart rentals and on the bus routes making it easy to get around. You can also take a short walk to lots of restaurants and shops. Couldn’t recommend this hotel more!

The Reef View Hotel is a great option for stays at Hamilton Island. The views are amazing, and it is clean and comfortable, with friendly staff. It was our second time visiting the hotel as a family. The resort as a whole (all restaurants and eateries, plus the IGA) is quite expensive, so it’s definitely worth getting breakfast included in your room rate if possible.

Hamilton Island is unreal, the room views are amazing, dream like really. The staff were all super friendly and we had a great time visiting there. Our rooms in the Reef View hotel however were old/tired & in desperate need of upgrading. The furniture was tatty & ripped. This is not what we expected for the price we paid, or from the pictures. There were little bugs all over the bathroom (we are very scared of bugs!) The rooms are very large and spacious on the plus side and they did have luggage stands. We didn't dine in, apart from breakfast, the dining area didn't look good.... it feels like it's in a lobby and it's always very busy with guests checking in/out in front of you. The lifts here were also a pain, the hotel was very busy and we always had to wait a while. I'd struggle to recommend this hotel to others, which feels wrong, but the rooms just are not at the standard they should be.

The area and hotel was gorgeous and everyone was incredibly helpful! The room was a bit dirty and had a LOT of little bugs that appeared under every single item. They would scatter as soon as the lights turned on and seemed harmless, but I found their endless presence in the room a bit unsettling.

The rooms were old and unrenovated, the photo of the renovated bathroom only applied to levels 1-4, the rest were unrenovated. We had to repeatedly request room service, calls to housekeeping were often unanswered. Air conditioning was capped at 23 degrees, not allowing the room to cool sufficiently. Not enough wardrobe space for clothing.
