Honeymoon stay
This was the first leg of our trip, perfect for relaxing. The bungalows were very roomy and in a great location to walk or catch the shuttle. The pools are absolutely amazing and all the restaurants were delicious. Passage Peak was a breathtaking walk.

This place truly is one out of the movies. Heaven on earth. Bungalows and villas right on the beach. The view over Palm Bay is to die for.
Food was five star although you have to pay for breakfast which was a bit steep.
We don’t usually return to the same place for holidays because we like to experience new places but we will be going back to this one. It is sensational.

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.

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.

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.
