This was my second visit to Hamilton Island, first stay at the Reef View Hotel, found this much better than the Reef Apartments that I had previously stayed. Hotel was fine, getting a little dated in decor. We had a spacious hotel room with 2 Queen beds, there was also a small sitting area in the corner which was great.... More

Reef view hotel is a very large and busy hotel but great value for money. We had a room that was on a high floor with good coral sea views. Rooms have been refurbished since I was last there. Good aircon, bed comfy, position great. Breakfast is substantial and the resturant for dinner is fantastic. We ate there most nights... More

We just got back from staying at the Reef View Hotel and I have never wanted a holiday to end faster. This is the first I time I have felt like being a guest of the Hotel was somehow putting all the staff out! This place is run disgracefully and management should be ashamed of themselves. We couldnt wait to... More

It was one of my dream to see North Queensland and as soon as i arrive to Australia we went to Hamilton Island. I always check with tripadvisor before choose hotel to stay in and it's the first time when reality becomes far from my expectations after i read reviews.. I assume they are all written either by australians who... More

My boyfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Reef View Hotel. The staff is very accommodating (they helped us book a snorkle trip right away), and the rooms are clean, nice, and spacious. It's a great place to relax, while at the same time in close walking distance to the small restaurants and shops on the island. Amazing... More

We have just finished a so called holiday at Hamilton Island. We cut our 6 night stay to just 3 days as we found this place so bad. I will start by simply saying - Stay away from this place.. You will waste your money - you have been warned. For the ridiculous overpriced money you pay to stay here... More

My husband and I woke up and decided to escape to Hamilton Island for 24 hours. I booked the reef view via the telephone reservation system and our stay included breakfast. The room had two double beds and a fantastic view of Catseye bay. The bathroom was huge and the shower and bath were good. My only complaint was the... More

Great hotel in an amazing setting. Just spent 5 nights on Hamilton Island and the Reef View Hotel is excellent value for money. Being on an island always equates to high prices but with free use of kayaks, catamarans etc. you really don't need to spend a lot on other activities unless you want to. There's so much to do...

Hi wizzynew, I’m so glad that you had a great holiday on Hamilton Island staying at the Reef View Hotel. We try hard to make everything on island as affordable as possible because we want our guests to be outdoors exploring this beautiful island and having fun, not sitting in their room trying not to spend money. This is why... More

My mum and I stayed at Hamilton Island's Reef View Hotel over the Labour-Day long weekend to celebrate our birthday. We were impressed by the level of service and standard of room provided by resort and island staff. It was great that as soon as you hopped off the plane you were escorted to the hotel in a complimentary shuttle... More

The view from the room was beautiful. The room was very spacious, however I felt it was very tired looking and needed a make over. The air conditioner in the room needs a service, could not sleep with it on as too noisy - I slept with the doors open and it was lovely.The staff were just doing their job,... More
