The service at this hotel on Hamilton Island is superior! Alvaro and Vicky are stellar, they made our holiday the best ever. Can’t recommend this hotel more! And Tyler takes it to the next level. The amenities are wonderful, the pools are lovely.

I would highly recommend the buffet breakfast - it was delicious! And the beach is across the street as well as more than one pool, restaurants and shopping!
Verified review

8/10 Very good

We had a Coral Sea view room and it was an absolutely beautiful view. We liked the location of the hotel and the ability to use the tennis courts for free and the pools on some of the other properties. The breakfast was okay but you have to go early in the morning (like 6:30) or else it gets too crowded. This is very much a family resort and not a romantic couples getaway destination.

10/10 Exceptional

I loved the room and it was super high quality. The beds were neat and there wasn’t any stains. It had a good view when we were in the elevator. There were so much things to do such as snorkelling and fuse ball, even ping pong! I had such a great time and I do recommend everyone to go. Overall, I rate it a five out of five.😁
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

From booking, to checking-in to checking out everything was seamless thanks to the attentive staff. For $12 more I booked us into a Coral Sea View room (2 double beds) and it was the right call. The view over Catseye Beach was beautiful. And the bathroom was THE biggest (with a thoughtful layout) I’ve ever had in a hotel room. The pool was so relaxed (only for hotel guests) and the departure lounge was so useful with lockers for luggage and showers for last minute swimming before our late afternoon on flight home. Would definitely stay again!
