The views from this hotel are simply spectacular. Free transport to any area on the island is available, but you are walking distance to all of the shops and cafes/restaurants. Facilities are second to none and the staff were faultless. If I were going to Hamilton Island again I would stay there.

Overall our stay was nice. The check in and out was super easy. The air port transfers were great! Our room was nice, newly renovated. However. If we used up amenities they were never replaced. We had to ask for top ups on things like toilet paper. Which isn’t nice when you are away. Not something you want to think about. Overall, a nice stay. Accomodation is close to everything We were able to walk with ease to most places but if that’s not an option there were many useful transportation services around.

Views are always perfect. I like how they installed carpet. Bathrooms are getting very dated and need renovating. We’ve been going to HI since 1999 and this is the first time the breakfast at pool terrace we thought had gone downhill in quality.
