    Unwind on Hamilton Island with beach access, shuttle to Catseye's white sands, and reef views.
"We loved our stay at Reef View Hotel. The views were gorgeous, and the staff were very friendly - check-in and check-out were very smooth, and the arrivals & departure lounge was great for having a shower after lounging by the pool and before catching our flight. The breakfast buffet was excellent, and Reef Lounge downstairs had some decent dinner options. The rooms are a little worn, but clean and comfortable. The location is great right on Catseye beach. Overall highly recommend!"

"One of the nicest hostels I have been to! We got a private room and although it was small it was exactly what we needed! There were cutlery and plates and bowls in our room if we needed and there was even a mini fridge! They even provided towels. The bathrooms were really nice, and the kitchen was in great condition and very clean! The property as a whole was great and it was in minutes walk of the beach and lagoon and about a one minute walk to Woolworth’s! Really pleasant stay and I would...

2/10 Terrible
"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."
