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.

Louise

Disliked: Cleanliness
I had cleanliness issues with our room and I had to ask for our sheets to be changed on our 5th night when I could see they had not been changed in line with their policy (3 days). Also, on the first day, I wiped the bathroom floor when we spilled some water and the white cloth I used came up black. I informed reception and said I did not believe the floor was clean. On our second and third days I did different parts of the floor with the same result. I took the face cloth down to reception to show them. I also left a coffee stain on the side of the sink and that was still there after three days too! The hotel pool is large and nice but there are only a few sunbeds and any that aren’t under umbrellas get covered in cockatoo poo. On the positive side, the rooms are large, and if you go for a coral sea view you are on a higher floor and the views are great. You are also only a short walk over the hill to the marina.

Was lovely! View was awesome! Breakfast was lovely and not long waits. Staff was always friendly/ helpful and happy to go above and beyond. We went whilst renovations were in process I would suggest for long stay clients more cleaning including vaccum and changing sheets every three days

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.

Everyone stresses that you need to keep your doors shut because of the cheeky cockatoos, but no one mentioned to be careful leaving clothing on the balcony. A cockatoo too a bikini top from the drying rack and dropped it on the roof of the restaurant below. Luckily it was able to be retrieved. This should also be mentioned upon check-in as a lot of people were reporting lost clothing and the staff then said, oh yes, they are very cheeky.

This was a mostly nice stay. A beautiful double room with clean and large bathroom as well as decent but obstructed views of the reef, which was unexpected. We did think the food was fairly average in the Pool Terrace. At times the service from staff was quite average - they werent terribly flexible or accommodating and none of them were particularly friendly. The pool was gorgeous and warm though, definitely warmest of all the pools. This hotel is close to everything, with frequent buses to the Marina.

We had a family room which was the perfect set up for us. Amazing beach views and everything very easy to access. The only downside was that the cockatoos got in our room and made an absolute mess and ate our food. Although the hotel tells you to not leave the door open I don’t think they stress enough just how bad they are and that they can pick the screen door latch.

Overall the hotel was lovely, our cleaning staff were amazing, know they were extremely busy. The hotel was great, nice bar and pool areas. We didn’t get a chance to try the restaurant. My only disappointment was the balcony, we had a great view but it was so dirty, i realise the birds are an issue but would have been nice if it was cleaned before we checked in, but during our stay it just got dirtier, it was covered in bird droppings. We cleaned to railing sobwe could lean on it and touch it.
