Reef View Hotel

Reef View Hotel Hamilton Island. We stayed here for one night in a coral view suite as a stopgap on a trip to the reef. Most important conclusion is : if you travel with children it is the perfect hotel. As a couple….stay at Qualia 👍 The suite was very nice, spacious and with a great view from the 19th floor. The hotel has one pool and there are two other pools within 3 min walk. Beach is right in front and they have free kayaks, sailing catamarans , boards and snorkeling gear. One restaurant in the hotel and two others within 4 min walk. The only drawback for us (traveling as a couple) was that the place was literally full with families. (School holiday too). At dinner (8pm) there was only one other table without children and at breakfast (7am) we were the only one. That resulted in dirty tables, food on the floor, parent allowing small children to pick up food with their hands at the buffet, shouting, crying, jumping in the clearly marked “no jumping pool”….etc. The staff was great, trying to do what they could but they were just overwhelmed. So….to reiterate. Perfect hotel for families. As a couple , or single travelers you cannot beat Qualia.

Good spot for your first time exploring the island and family friendly. Most things are within walking distance and ocean view room is a must.

You will literally be living in a tropical paradise full of natural wonders! Cockatoos will come visit your balcony from the nearby national forest, a warm sea breeze will greet you every day, together with spectacular sunrises, and everything is walking distance! If you’re not feeling like walking though there are FREE shuttles across this island, including the Reef View Hotel, which run every 10 mins and take you most places. It’s clean here, well maintained, very well organised, and great facilities, especially for families. Highly recommend staying here.

Nice family resort. All rooms face the beach, so great views. Excellent variety for breakfast. Best destination for a day trip to Whitehaven

Hamilton Island is wonderful. The resort was fine, a little dated but great staff. It would be really nice if one of the pools was a quiet pool or kid free pool as all of the pools were very busy, noisy and hard to find seating. Lots of kids having fun but just really busy. Food at hotel is good but expensive - however room service was very good. Staff was terrific! It’s a beautiful spot!

Ideal for family stay.

Very good place for holiday with family

A perfect family friendly stay with views that are to die for

Fantastic. Room was huge, beautiful modern resort, friendly staff, nice restaurant and several pools on the island. Some Facilities such as kids club are across the road. Had no problems with Buggy parking or charging at the resort. The lifts probably need an update but otherwise couldn’t fault the hotel

Our stay at Reef View was fine, but I’d say it was just that. Fine. The area itself is relatively convenient (simply because the island is small and we had a buggy) but the hotel is tired. Everything is a bit dated and in a bit of a need of an upgrade. One of the four elevators broke down daily during our week stay, at one point three out of four were out, crockery and cups often had dried food or lipstick marks on them. Did the kids have a great holiday - yep. Would I rush back to Hamilton Island- probably not and if I did it would be in a self-contained apartment rather than a hotel.
