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.

Lovely island but felt a bit too restory for our liking. Food options limited and average for price paid. Everything looks fake and Disney-esque. Limited tour options (we came for diving and there were no diving excursions for the full 4 days we were there). All tours very expensive and the one boat one we did was average. On the other hand, all staff were friendly and helpful and the room was nice.

This was the first leg of our trip, perfect for relaxing. The bungalows were very roomy and in a great location to walk or catch the shuttle. The pools are absolutely amazing and all the restaurants were delicious. Passage Peak was a breathtaking walk.

This place truly is one out of the movies. Heaven on earth. Bungalows and villas right on the beach. The view over Palm Bay is to die for. Food was five star although you have to pay for breakfast which was a bit steep. We don’t usually return to the same place for holidays because we like to experience new places but we will be going back to this one. It is sensational.

The room could have benefited from a lounge, there’s certainly enough room for one. Otherwise an excellent alternative choice to a hotel room.

Great Break
First time to Hamilton Island and we were impressed and had a great week rest. We had a Bungalow and it’s a very spacious and has all you need. I little dated but clean and would book again. The resort would be expensive if you ate out 3 meals a day but because there is a very good IGA on island, plan well and enjoy all the facilities without breaking the bank. The weather was outstanding and we will be back.

Beware: Smokers are an issue in these rooms. You’re so close to your neighbors that if they are smokers you might end up being trapped in your room to avoid their smoke clouds. I will not stay in these rooms again.
