Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff were great but the cleanliness inside the bungalows could definitely be improved. I don't have high standards by any means but when on a holiday you should be able to confidently use the supplied plates, cutlery, stove top ect and know they are clean. There were many surfaces that hadn't been wiped down in a very long time including the phone, stove top, fridge and inside drawers which made the bungalows unpleasant for me personally. Although I wanted the bungalow atmosphere rather than a large hotel I quickly regretted my decision and upgraded to Reef view which was beautiful. The staff were amazing, super helpful and friendly but I absolutely wouldn't stay at Palm bungalows again.

I booked a bungalow thinking it had water views and (almost) direct access to the beach and resort pool but we were up a hill with no water views and a 5 min walk to the beach (in one direction) and a 5 min to the pool (in the other direction). It wasn't a problem, just worth noting that the pictures aren't totally accurate. The hammock on the front porch was fabulous, and it was great that the bungalows are within walking distance to everything. The breakfast buffet was really good and a lovely way to start the day.

The position of Bungalow 23 has no breeze which was difficult in the hot & humid November weather and a mouldy smell upon arrival. No other bungalows were available to move to. No promised bottle of wine ever arrived. Very different experience to our previous stay 16 months before, which seemed more organised and welcoming. Although our bed was made everyday, our bed linen wasn’t changed the entire stay, even when requested. Bed had no mattress protector and pillows had no pillow protectors on, always a worry with a high turnover of guests. Thankfully, the ensuite looked as if it had been renovated. As we were visiting for a conference, this was a disappointing experience and we probably won’t be in a hurry to return.

We had a lovely bungalow a short walk to the beach with loads of wallabies outside. The hammock on the deck was great too. The only negatives are the room and bathroom are quite basic and could do with a refurb. They forgot to collect our bags on the check out day but did rectify this quickly.

Hamilton Island was well worth a visit but if we come again a 3 to 4 night stay is plenty. Best thing on the island is Hamilton Golf Course (which is a 10min boat ride away) and would be the primary reason we come back. Part of the pool area and restaurant was being refurbished so all other restaurants and pools were very busy and you needed to pre book all, which we fortunately did. Our biggest criticism would be that the age of the staff is very young and with that comes a lack of service professionalism.

Very basic room, suited us for a one night stay but wouldn’t have been great for longer. It’s not clear from the listing where this property is located. It’s basically an extension of the Reef View Hotel. Music at the swim up pool bar was excellent.

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!
