Bungalows are quiet and private. Shower was excellent. Pool and beach were top rate. Staff was lackluster. Buggies are too expensive. Public shuttle was great but the stops are poorly designed for convenience. Cuca Chu restaurant was very good; make a reservation.

Dirty room with stained linens. Tried to contact guest service and they wouldn’t pick up. Asked housekeeping for additional towels and they looked perplexed. Very dirty pool/ beach furniture. Rude bartender. Asked her to throw away an empty bottle and she told my husband they trash was “over there” and he should dispose of it. Very dated hotel that needs updating and their employees should have better training.

It was expensive and the communication was terrible. When we checked in no one gave us any information. We weren’t told about breakfast which was paid for. We weren’t told about the activities available to us. When we were leaving for the airport, I asked an hour before where to wait and sat in the heat for one hour then when everyone started boarding they made us get in the back of the line of about 60 people because where I was waiting was the opposite side of where the group lined up. Then the man who told me where to wait rudely said, “ everyone else figured it out!” loudly in front of everyone which embarrassed me. I was the only one who had asked as I was the only one who sat there for an hour in the heat waiting. For what I paid to stay here I expected better service and communication.

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!

There was some confusion at times, but overall, it was a nice stay. We wish we had stayed longer. A small kitchen is available for cooking breakfast. The shower had good water pressure. The wallabies on the property were a lovely bonus to our stay. We would return and stay at Palm Bungalow.

We stayed in the bungalows. They were no frills but met our needs. We had a maintenance issue that took a couple of days to resolve but they did fix it. The staff was nice, a little frantic at times but fun. Definitely rent a cart (buggy) and make restaurant reservations in advance or there wont be any when you get there. The Wallaby's grazed just feet from our front porch. Once in a lifetime!!!

A nice place to visit.

Hamilton Island is a beautiful place to visit. The island is small, and the free shuttle around it is useful. It is a pricey destination, but the room is very nice. The room is fully equipped with a kitchen so if you would want to get provisions before arriving to cut down on costs a bit, you certainly could. We had a short stay, so we did not get a chance to visit all the beaches, but did enjoy the ones we did. Loved seeing the wallabies, parrots, bats, and cockatoos that roam freely on the island. The snorkeling off Catseye beach was decent, I’d recommend going far out if you are a confident swimmer. There are also pools, ping pong, bowling , and free use of non motorized equipment at the beach ( only saw kayaks, but they probably had other things, we snorkeled so didn’t use them) All in all very nice for a short stay. For a long stay I would pick Airlie Beach as you have more options on things to do.
