We loved that everything is within close proximity. Even if it is on the other side of the island, the transport options (buses) to get you around are fantastic. The bus drivers are all really friendly. We didn't pre-book a buggy so therefore missed out, which is something I'd make sure I did next time. In saying that, everywhere we needed to go to we were able to get to via the bus.

Hamilton Island was a great place to take young children. They loved the heated pools, the beach, the activities near the pools. There were plenty of places to eat casually and the IGA was well provisioned.

This was my second time their,it was quite cold as was middle of July,the place has not much changed since i was their 4 years ago,not enough places to eat,very few restaurants so not many options and always booked out,we did a excursion to one of the beaches,and was not to happy with the service provide for the money we paid,i wont be going back their,i dont think its good value for money, a cruise would have been cheaper.

Just to get a coffee was an ordeal sad they don’t have enough staff to to run the island the way they would like, very frustrating for all guests, Hamilton Island is a very pretty place and going out to the Reef is a treat.

I LOVE Hamilton Island, have been there many times. DO the Off Road ATV Adventure - it is so much fun and the guides are all so lovely. Food is varied and good - you have to book in early for some of the nicer restaurants otherwise they book out, but there is enough food types for all people in the family, even the fussy ones. Buggies provided are excellent to get around the island. Rent one if yours doesnt come with. Even just hanging out in the Resort Recreation area with the family is fun - arcade games, pool tables or bring cards/Uno and just chill. What I love the most about Hamilton Island is that you can do as much or as little as you want there!

The Island is a fantastic size, The IGA was essential for self catering. The restaurants, food and shops are more expensive than on the mainland, but this was expected. The Buggy travel is fun and safe for kids. It gives the place a real holiday feel as soon as you arrive. The island is very well cared for and clean. Driving along the Marina on our first evening we were struck with a very civilised setting of families enjoying the sunset whilst eating fish and chips etc. from a selection of eateries. There is a little pop up cinema right on the side of the Marina for kids. Water sports activities are in abundance on the stunning Catseye beach (SUP, kayaks, snorkels + tour, mini catamarans) and there are plenty of good quality Boat/snorkel/dive Great barrier Reef tours available every day of the week. We experienced a couple of days of wet weather but this did not spoilt the fun one iota! The Mini golf was excellent, there is table tennis and a games room that we made good use of. Oh and the bowling alley!! There are tennis courts easy to hire for a 30 minute or one hour slot. An excellent gift shop opposite Catseye beach. There are a number of beautiful walks - with stunning views. These are of different lengths and with two energetic children we actually found them much quicker to complete than the map at the base of the hills suggested. A really fantastic family holiday destination. We have already booked in for next year!
