The room could have benefited from a lounge, there’s certainly enough room for one. Otherwise an excellent alternative choice to a hotel room.

Great Break
First time to Hamilton Island and we were impressed and had a great week rest. We had a Bungalow and it’s a very spacious and has all you need. I little dated but clean and would book again. The resort would be expensive if you ate out 3 meals a day but because there is a very good IGA on island, plan well and enjoy all the facilities without breaking the bank. The weather was outstanding and we will be back.

Beware: Smokers are an issue in these rooms. You’re so close to your neighbors that if they are smokers you might end up being trapped in your room to avoid their smoke clouds. I will not stay in these rooms again.

The beach was great but the staff really let the place down, it did not feel like a place you could relax and be taken care of. I couldn't pick up internet in the bungalows but would connect immediately outside closed shops by the marina. The bungalow was very run down and stained but the mold at the bottom of the shower and roof could be cleaned. I wouldn't go back or recommend it - go to Daydream Island instead it was much better.

A spacious and clean private villa with a huge bathroom and closet. Could have used another place to sit in the room since the "couch" was more like a deep daybed without a mattress. We loved everything and this would have been a 5-star review but we arranged for transport for us and our luggage down to the harbor when checking out and that transport did not come, causing us to have no time to grab breakfast at a cafe before our ferry came.

Great spot for for a short break
Great place to be - off the beach and surrounded by cockatoos and wallabies. Close to the marina and everything is walkable on the island. They offered free transfers to and from the hotel and breakfast was good quality. Perfect for a short break away.

We had a perfect stay at Palm Bungalows and were pleasantly surprised by the access and amenities that came with staying there. The staff were friendly and helpful, making our trip a very relaxing and enjoyable one. As others have mentioned, check in was a little slow (not helped by the heat upon arrival from the airport), but otherwise everything else was perfect.
