We were somewhat skeptical about Hamilton Island before our trip, knowing it was essentially one large resort controlled by the same entity. But we were absolutely thrilled with our experience both at the resort and the island. The rooms (floor 17) were spacious and offered the most amazing views of any hotel room we have ever stayed at. The breakfast... more

We have just returned from 6 nights on Hamilton Island staying in the Reef View Hotel. From the outset I would like to make it clear that this review is about our experiences at the Reef View only and not Hamilton Island in general. When I was organising my holiday, nothing annoyed me more than to read these reviews apparently... more

This hotel is an absolute nightmare. It would be impossible for me to list in this space every grim detail of our dreadful time here, but allow me to name a few particularly charming details. 1) When we arrived, there was human excrement of some description smeared on the wall of the toilet. This remained there for a full 5... more

My 20 year old daughter and I stayed at the Reef View Hotel for 4 nights, starting July 10, 2008. The staff at the reception was efficient and friendly, and by the time we got to our room, our luggage had already been delivered. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, it was very spacious and had... more

This included a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a half day trip to Whitehaven Beach and a weekly pass to the Koala Gallery. Overall we had a fantastic time. I... more

The reef view hotel was fantastic. My sister-in-law organised this for our honeymoon and it was well worth it. We had a room on the 17th floor so it had fantastic views and the room was very modern, clean and exactly what we were after. The hotel itself runs very smooth with a bus already organised to pick you up... more

My husband and I have just returned from Hamilton Island after celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary. We stayed in a suite at the Reef View Hotel. The overall experience was great. The only complaints I have are that the rooms are starting to show some wear and tear. The tiles in the bathroom are a bit stained, and the walls... more

We had originally been booked to stay at Palm Terrace, but upon arrival had found this accomodation to be downright appalling. We then paid the extra GBP 25 per night to upgrade to the Reef View Hotel - smartest decision we ever made! For the extra money, the Reef View Hotel is 100 times nicer than the Palm Terrace /... more
