A nice break

A really good package deal with breakfast included. Room was a good size and we had a great view. Hamilton Island is a bit pricey for most things, however we were aware of that before we arrived.

Family Holiday to Hamilton

It was our first trip to Hamilton, we couldn't fault the reef view hotel. The service, the room, the view! It was impeccable. The staff were lovely wherever you went very accommodating. The reef view hotel was a short walk to many activities on the island making it easy with our 3 year old. We found it very easy to get from the airport to our accommodation with transfers. It made our first family holiday to the island great!

Reef view hotel- Level 10

As expected, the views from the Reef View Hotel were amazing, however, on par with the Whitsunday apartments in which we stayed for 3 days prior.
The room is open plan but not overly large, and more suited to couples or those with young kids. If you have kids 10 Years and above, I suggest looking into the larger suites or family room types...
Rooms were clean, however were requiring updates to the bathroom and furniture. For reference, the cheaper Whitsunday apartments offered more modern rooms, larger with 1 bedroom self contained layouts, at a cheaper rate.
The foyer/reception and bistro were nice, and certainly offered that 5 star hotel feel, but you pay for it.
The Guest services staff and transfers were handled with ease and were very well organised for our trip and luggage back to the airport.

A great relaxing place to unwind.

Had a King Coral Sea View room, which unfortunately was smelly, tired and generally below average in all aspects. The view was amazing, but the room was terrible. After one night, we were allocated a newly renovated Garden View room, which was amazing. The refurbished room was what you expected, fantastic bathrooms, quiet a/c, overall great feel. Couldn't ask for more. Hopefully the remainder of the rooms will be done soon and the whole hotel will become the icon it deserves.

Great value hotel! Loved the views from the Coral Sea View Room, but cannot get past the excellent buffet breakfast. Great selection with a barista and omelette station too! Fuelled me right up for a day of beachfront lounging, snorkelling, hiking, and deciding which of the many island pools to take a dip in! Everything's a quick walk from the hotel. Making it even easier to get around is the Hamilton Island Shuttle bus which makes frequent stops right in front of the hotel.

Fantastic place to recharge

We highly recommend the Reef View Hotel for your get away.
We believe that Hamilton island is a great place to take time out for 7days and enjoy the surrounding beaches.
We highly recommend the helicopter ride to Reef and White Haven Beach.
The trip is very personalised and the team from Hamilton Air make your day a very specialised day.
Staff from Reef View Hotel and the island are very polite and to speak to at all times.
Thanks for the Great Holiday

Possibly the best family holiday we've had

We couldn't fault the whole experience on Hamilton Island and the Reef View Hotel. The pickup and dropoff were well organised and stress-free and hotel check-in helpful and friendly. The room was modern and bigger than expected with amazing water views.

The breakfast buffet was always fully stocked with enough variety to suit everyone. It would have been a bonus if the restaurant was open for dinner, however that's just due to current circumstances.

Overall, the location is superb and the island amenities, simply designed for families with kids of any age. Would we go again...in a heartbeat.

Cannot fault our stay at Reef View Hotel!

From the moment we stepped foot in Reef View Hotel, we were made to feel super welcome. Every single staff member had the most amazing attitude and were willing to help out in any way. They always had a smile on their face and were accommodating in every way.
We stayed on floor 13 in a coral view room, and we will certainly miss waking up to the perfect view every morning! Thankyou for making our first trip to Hamilton and unforgettable one :)

Stunning Views

We had the most memorable trip to Hamilton Island. The Reef View is one of the taller buildings on the resort, so not only did we have a comfortable and clean room, we also had the most stunning view every morning! The service was above and beyond from the staff, not only from the hotel, but from all the places we visited on the island. There were many benefits of staying here, including the free watersports gear hire, free shuttle bus, and access to all the facilities on the resort. We also found it incredibly easy that most of the services restaurants and shops were linked and could be charged back to our hotel room. A perk for us since we had extra hotel credit included with our travel package to spend. We had a very fun and memorable trip and would deffinately come back to this magical place!

A great overall experience but balcony a risk!

The hotel was lovely the room was clean and comfortable.
We really loved the buffet breakfast with such a wide variety.
The customer service was great all round very friendly and helpful staff.
I had just one issue where the balcony i caught my kids standing on the ledge where the wall finishes and the railing starts I have them a stern word about doing it and they could fall over the ledge my kids listened and they were never out of sight from us while they were out there but other kids may not listen and keep trying to stand on it. It freaked me right out so if it's such a family orientated hotel please consider changing the balcony wall so children can stand on the ledge and worst case fall over!
Thanks!

Good in parts

Easy to fly to from Brisbane. Easy island to get around. Good gym and spa at the hotel. Hotel room was spacious but lacked a microwave which would have been handy.
Places to eat of generally high standard. Prices at the Tavern and IGA were no more than you'd pay on the mainland.
There is an extensive range of walking tracks which were of a good length and variety, Unfortunately, the bush through which they go is poorly maintained - weeds everywhere.

Great place to stay

The hotel was great! Booking was a bit annoying if you are not aware of the general managing of the island. Great island and great tours as fantastic walks. I personally think with children of the age 10-12 years the program is very limited according to their experience. Quad only Monday's, putt putt in limited hours and in general a lot of things are really limited in their hours is very frustrating!

Perfect Little Getaway

Hanilton Island really has something for everyone. You can do as much or as little as you please. Hiking, sports, water sports, or just reading on a deck chair. Plenty of food choices, but the resturaunts are a little pricey. Pizza and Tavern are great value for money. Reef View Hotel is perfectly located close to the beach/pools and shuttle bus!

Great Place for a Relaxing and Enjoyable Stay

My wife and l and a couple of close friends have just returned from a relaxing 5 day stay on Hamilton Island at the Reef View Hotel. We had a wonderful time. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and nothing was to much trouble. In fact they were continually asking if there was anything they could do for us and always had a smile and a greeting. It was nice to see the staff enjoying themselves within the workplace.
Would highly recommend this location for a holiday.

Fabulous Few Days Away

Hubby and I (young seniors) had a great 5 night stay at the Reef View Hotel. Our room was clean and size wise, was huge as was the very well appointed bathroom. Superb view over Catseye Beach and the main pool. The concept of the entire area being the one resort enabling us to charge back to our room at almost all venues, was different. Usually charge back is just in your hotel, not elsewhere.
The resort shuttle to the marina area was brilliant although we only used it once, on our first trip to familiarise ourselves with the area and pick up supplies at IGA and the bottle shop. After that, we walked the small hill over.
The only disappointment for us was the restaurants that were closed and due to Covid spacings, it was very difficult to get a restaurant booking for the short time we were there. The pub, fish and chip shop and the pizzeria were available though so we didn't go hungry!
Overall, a brilliant stay - we'll be back!

Reef view hotel

Wow what an amazing experience. The reef view hotel was very well run and all staff were friendly and so helpful! From the second you arrive on the island, everything is looked after for you and you are transferred to the hotel and your bags are looked after and taken to your room. You have nothing to worry about. The included buffet breaky was huge and amazing every day and well run even when busy. The included free activities are so much fun and I loved doing them each day. The free use of the gym was wonderful. The gym was huge. The restaurant attached and surrounding ones were so yummy. The free shuttle service around the island made it so easy to get around and the pools were spacious and so nice to relax at. I will definitely be back!

When we arrived and advised rooms were ready, we had someone else's luggage in our room and our own luggage wasn't in our room.
It took more than 30 minutes and three times chasing them to have our bags returned to our room and the other bags removed.
Rooms were nice and spacious
Kids meals during dinner were very small, left kids hungry as the portion size was very small
Buffet breakfast was very nice

Amazing sunrises and Sunsets.
Perfect weather in winter where back home in SE Qld is cold, we had avg temps of 18-24oC!!!

They were always courteous, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Obviously well prepared for such an event as the cyclone. We wouldn't recommend staying anywhere else on Hamilton Island.

Great Hotel - Poor Dining Experience

The Reef View Hotel was a great stay for my family (hubby & 2 kids aged 9 and 5). Close proximity to the beach and resort activities which was great! The hotel pool was lovely, but the Pool Terrace Restaurant was very hit and miss! Service was incredibly slow and meals coming out (once we finally ordered) were even slower! Meals were inconsistent (you could order the same thing on a different night and it was a different meal!). Unfortunately the slow service drove us crazy in the end... (and it appeared fellow diners were experiencing the same frustrations).

Reef View

Rooms shocking..smell badly of damp on floors below 4h floor. Had to request to be moved. Coming from a brand new apartment, the accommodation is in a serious need of a refurb. Beds definitely need attending to ASAP. Husband slept on chairs as more comfortable. Sun beds need to be marked no reserving and more loungers in beach and shade over pools. Service was fantastic and good brilliant. Not expensive. If can address issues above, this would be best resort Australia has to offer on East Coast. Wildlife is amazing. Would stay Palm bungalows next time.

great place for families

enjoyed our stay and will be back. the Reefview has everything going for it and can imagine it would have been luxurious when first built. It is a little tired now but clean, comfortable and has everything needed for the family. Useful to have the extra benefit of coin operated laundry, especially good when travelling with the family. Location good, easy access to everything.

Dream Location

The hotel was nice, it wasn't particularly outstanding, but that's OK because the island itself is the jewel. The room was large, it had a fridge and we requested a microwave which the hotel provided. We ate out and were able to eat our leftovers for lunch. Breakfast was included, and the breakfast was very good- large selection of food, including a chef making omlets to your liking. The island was very clean, the views are out of this world. by the yacht club you lived a little luxury, the pools were beautiful and you can't get tired of anything over the course of a week since there are enough variances of the same thing to keep you on your toes. We did tours from all three tour operators on the islands, Cruise whitsundays, Explorer and Hamilton island Water Sports. HI Water Sports is smaller than the other two tour operators but they have great tours- more intimate and tailored to the groups liking. My favourite tour was the ALL DAY trip to Whitehaven beach and Hill Inlet. that place is a must see!

Incredible location with an even better view!

Stayed in a coral sea view room and the view was amazing, with daily visits from the island cocktaoos. All inclusive breakfast buffet was delicious each morning. Swimming pools incredible and plenty to do nearby. Shuttle bus service also great! Beds are comfortable but room is outdated, they need to re-do bathrooms, carpets and curtains to make it look more high quality for what you pay for.

Room Maintenance

Reef View Hotel was fab and worked well for us as a family of 4. We had two queen size beds which catered for our requirements. Room was spacious and comfortable.

My only issue (which is really no big issue as the cleaners were very nice) was that the times varied on a daily basis. One day the room wasnt cleaned until very late in the afternoon re: 4ish.

Apart from that it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Great stay for a price

Awesome stay and relaxing week at Hamilton island staying at reef view. A lot of miserable rude people this time, not sure why as the place is beautiful. Cats eye beach got all our attention and is a perfect place to thoroughly relax. As long as you go prepared that you pay a premium for everything on the island. The pub is the best bet for a reasonable priced feed and the bakery looks after lunch. The included breakfast at reef view is great also. Would be nice if they had more choice of cheaper restaurants on the island as the kids eat free is a waste of time and a bit of a gimmick once your kids are older than 8.

A great break

We had a great 5 day break starting with an up-grade to the 18th floor and a welcome of 2 bottles of wine and a fruit platter. A few days later we were presented with a cheese platter. The restaurants and activities are all well managed and a pleasure to enjoy. We didn't take the reef tour as we'd both been there before, but instead had a tour of Dent Island's golf course and stayed on for an excellent lunch with the most perfect view. It was a beautiful sunny day and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Buzzing around the Island in a buggy was great fun, although we could have quite easily managed just by using the free Green and Orange Buses. We hope to return again. This was our 4th visit and even better than before because of the excellent work that has been done with the management of the Island.

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my stay. A fabulous hotel with wonderful staff, food and facilities. The view from my room was absolutely incredible. A total joy.... Even the sunglasses-stealing cockatoos are gorgeous..

A truly relaxing holiday.

We stayed at The Reef View. Initially we were on the 1st floor but we were disappointed with the view. Upgraded to the 15th and were so happy we did. Spectacular views. Lazy mornings reading on the balcony and champagne in the evenings watching the sun over the water was idyllic. Located in a fantastic spot on the island. Really easy to get around. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We have nothing negative to say about the entire holiday. We would definitely come back and stay again.

A wonderful picturesque location! Staff were all lovely & helpful. Pools were beautiful. Dining options were great but we were disappointed that the "Steakhouse" was no longer available & has been replaced by another restaurant. It features in the video that is played at the resort even now, but of course, is not there. We were impressed with the Island Shuttle services. Our previous visit was 15 years earlier and we definitely noticed the differences since then! Most of these are positive ones - a lot of upgrades without the island losing its character and beauty. PS: Really appreciated the card & bottle of bubbly from management - for our wedding anniversary.

Best Holiday Ever!!

The entire staff on Hamilton Island as a whole, as well as the independent cruise services, were pleasantly cheerful and offered professional service. Both my mother and myself appreciated the guidance and service offered by the hotel staff in organising additional tours & activities to fully maximise our time on Hamilton.
The daily housekeeping service made us feel like we had magical creatures looking after all our accommodation needs that we hardly had to lift a finger. Also, the view from our room was so magnificent to wake up to every morning, it was a shame to have to leave. So much so, I am already planning a return holiday for next year with my girlfriend this time :)

Nice stay but ...

Aside from it being an entire "production" (from the airport, on the transfer bus, to the concierge desk, check-in before the room is available, use locker room for luggage and to freshen up, to finding your bag wasn't delivered to your room, smoking from the people in the next room intolerable, transferring to a new room THE FOLLOWING DAY, ...), the rest is blissful! It's not designed for single people though. Even the menu reflected that in one of the nicer restaurants near the hotel: Sails (steak for two, chicken for two, .. you get the point). There are beautiful parts to enjoy but getting there is a whole other story. Be ready for lots of patience. The trip to the GBR is 2 hours going and 2 hours back; Whitehaven Beach was 45 mins going and 90 min coming back. By far my favorite was Whitehaven Beach, except the "half day" was really 2.5 hrs, there rest of the half day is on the ferry with nothing to do. One person really stood out. Front desk Assistant Manager: Brooke. Really ensured my stay was nice and comfortable. The property itself needs a little revamp and personality but it was adequate. I'm just not sure if was worth the high price range. Glad I visited Hamilton Island but not sure if it warrants a return visit.

Great hotel for a stay on Hamilton Island

The Hamilton Island Reef View Hotel is a great place to stay on Hamilton Island. Our room was large, comfortable and clean. The complimentary buffet breakfast was very good, and we enjoyed being able to have breakfast at two other locations nearby. The free shuttle service provided on the island is excellent! We would also like to commend the drivers on the airport buses--we arrived back on the island (from a day at the reef) in a huge downpour. We were so grateful that an airport bus stopped at the Ice cream store bus stop and picked us and other drenched people up. We noticed other airport buses picking up people too. We now know why Hamilton Island is such a popular place to stay.

Hamilton Island

Hamilton Island is a stunning location. The Reef hotel was nice, rooms a bit dated. No kitchen included which made it difficult with small children. Quite a few restaurants on the island and the 'kids eat free' offer was worthwhile. Lots of activities which are hard to do with small kids, but relaxing. Golf buggies available for hire for $90 a day and are needed to get around as so hilly.

Romantic getaway in Hamilton

Had a very relaxing stay. We were in a King suite in the Reef View hotel, which was huge - my favourite was the gigantic bathroom, grey marble with spa bath, double sinks and large shower! Great view waking up and gazing out over the ocean. Nespresso machine provided which was a nice touch, and kettle/tea, apples and complimentary wine. No microwave though which would have been nice for heating up snacks late at night. Fridge was small too. It just meant that you were pretty reliant on the hotel's restaurant and in-room dining service (which was great).
As we booked during school hols we were trying to avoid the hordes of children as much as possible. We would visit the pool and beach early in the morning and later in the evening, for maximum 'calm time'. We also bushwalked to 'Escape Beach' which was empty when we arrived, so we had a 'private beach experience'!
There wasn't much to do in the evenings as you couldn't use the pools then, and there weren't really bars or night spots for adults save the hotel bars, so we'd end up going to sleep really early and waking up early to use the watersports etc instead (which was pretty good actually).
The best things were the Explore tours - we went to Whitehaven beach and did a Great Barrier Reef snorkel tour. Great service, super friendly and we had a lovely time. Whitehaven in particular was amazing. Also did a sunset sail which was very relaxing.
Overall I'd say that Hamilton was a good place for a relaxing getaway, and particularly good for families. But if you wanted a super-romantic, more private experience, unless you were willing to shell out for Qualia (or went during school time) you might consider Fiji instead!

Rest, Relaxation and service!

We have travelled this beautiful country far and wide, so choosing the Reef View Hotel on Hamilton Island was going to compete with many wonderful destinations. We we not disappointed. From the moment of touchdown at HI airport we were treated to an excellent level of service. Transfers and check-in were efficient and then - the room! We walked into a freshly decorated, spacious King room on the 18th floor with a very large bathroom (separate shower, large bath and twin hand basins). The balcony view to Catseye Bay and the Coral Sea was ours for the restful week. All staff were courteous and helpful, and the buffet breakfast selections satisfied all tastes.
Throughout our stay we saw clear evidence that the Reef View is undergoing steady refurbishment.
A most memorable stay in a delightful tropical setting.

Hamilton Island is awesome.

Honeymoon Stay

The Reef was really really nice, lovely and clean rooms, very comfortable bed and pillows were awesome! The service was outstanding, the girls that came to service the room and fridge were so happy and chatty, nothing was a problem at all. Very impressed with the service and food, would definitely recommend to anyone :)

"Loved It-Paradise"

Overall the hotel is wonderful and the rooms,breakfast and everything to do with it is wonderful. I loved the wild cockatoo's landing on the balconies! It is very nice with lots of offers where you show your room key and get a discount on lots of things. The pool is quite good as you can go for a swim before a delicious buffet breakfast, where you can ask the chef do do eggs the way you like it. If you are looking for a peaceful holiday go to Hamilton Island and relax. The beaches are wonderful and you can show your room key and get free stand up paddle boarding and snorkels. There are excellent staff and very quick service. The rooms are beautiful they are a good size, we had two double beds a couple of chairs, a table, a little kitchen, a big bathroom, a balcony with chairs and tables on it. LOVED IT!

Hamilton Island Reef View

A very good experience and I would recommend to anyone. Only negative (which I knew before we went) is that snorkelling close to the resort is not very good. Other than that we had a great time that went by all too quickly.

Very relaxing

We really enjoyed out stay at the Reef View Hotel. Very comfortable, beautiful view from our room. Service was great. And the buffet breakfast provided was excellent. Getting around the island was easy and enjoyable, walking or using the buggy. A highly recommended holiday for couples or families!
