We stayed 4 nights at the Lagoon Apartments which was great but could have done with another couple of nights just to enjoy more of what it has to offer. The scenery, tranquility and wildlife were terrific. The island is so picturesque, the views are fabulous. The weather was a lovely average of 28 degrees and humid. Everyday was perfect for a swim at the beach and pools and the water temperature was just right. Water & land activities were great. We played mini golf, table tennis, snorkelled, kayaked and stand up paddle boarded. The Wildlife Park was very enjoyable and the pools were the best. Loved the Main, Sails and Bougainvillea pools as well as our private pool. The atmosphere all around was fantastic. We enjoyed the live entertainment and food & drink spots the place has to offer around the Marina. We dined at the Pizzeria & Gelato, Marina Tavern, Ice Cream Parlour, One Tree Hill and also enjoyed a BBQ on our balcony. It was so easy and so much fun to get around too by buggy and the free shuttle buses were also very convenient and good for sightseeing. We also enjoyed browsing the shops and bought some nice souvenirs, magnet, bookmark and cap. It is a holiday we’ll never forget and hope to have again!

Hamilton Island is a very niche place to visit with magnificent facilities and first rate accommodation, restaurants and activities. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey but you know that before you visit but it is worth the time spent in such a secluded, safe and happy environment.

Busy and everything needed to be booked. Everything and everyone were wonderful, enjoyed some delicious meals in beautiful settings. Everywhere you looked was a feast to the eyes and the ease of flying in and out was a bonus. Monterey and Qualia were great, half day trip swimming at chalky and Whitehaven beaches was highlight.

The island is lovely could do with more and better casual dining and being of Italian heritage we take our coffee seriously! Which was lacking in quality on island , we expected supplies and dining to be expensive which it was , the bakery does offer probably the best good easy options for basic eating 👍🏻 We dined at Thai and the Italian (Romanos ) both nice but quality of dishes could have been better , staff were polite / friendly . We walked a lot and made use of the buggies Half of the family did a 4hr trip to Hayman for snorkeling and enjoyed immensely 😀

Hamilton has a lot to offer. I would liken it to a land based cruise experience. Restaurant bookings should be made before you arrive, particularly if visiting in peak holidays. Relatively expensive all round with cocktails a touch under $30 AUD each. Whilst a buggy was included with accommodation you would be up for $130+ per day to hire. Hillside accommodation would necessitate a buggy unless very fit! Try Bommie for sunset cocktails and Mariners for an excellent seafood platter. Popeyes over-rated but bakery good for a quick snack. IGA well patronised with lots of food options and a liquor store. Sails would be the main focus for families with a great pool area / beach access.

Location excellent. Lovely peaceful outlook, beautiful views, walking distance to restaurants and beach. Unfortunately, we found beach not easily swimable. Pebbly, no surf. Watch out for stingrays in shallows when walking at low tide. Bring beach shoes for comfort. There are other pools accessible though, and snorkeling trips fabulous. Apartment beautifully appointed and well set out, lovely long balcony onto lawn. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The buggy made longer trips easy.
