Great Little Bungalows

We had a lovely stay, great for our little family. Our 9 year old slept soundly in the pull out bed. Staff always friendly.

Beautiful setting and staff were very attentive and lots of options for dining on the resort on nearby.
Kevin, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Very basic room, suited us for a one night stay but wouldn’t have been great for longer. It’s not clear from the listing where this property is located. It’s basically an extension of the Reef View Hotel. Music at the swim up pool bar was excellent.

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.
Natalie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

What a wonderful, unique property. We loved Hamilton Islands, and Palm Bungalows has such a charm, making it feel even more special. We had heavy rain at night so this felt very tropical.

10/10 Exceptional

There was some confusion at times, but overall, it was a nice stay. We wish we had stayed longer. A small kitchen is available for cooking breakfast. The shower had good water pressure. The wallabies on the property were a lovely bonus to our stay. We would return and stay at Palm Bungalow.
Junko, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed in one of the Palm Bungalows and loved the size, privacy and it was a highlight to see the wallabies each day walking around. Having coffee with the koalas each morning at the cafe' was a huge bonus as well. This place is very special. It was nice to have access to catamarans, kayaks, and transportation to the town and airport included. We loved having hiking trails and extensive beach access available. My one 'area of development' would be that it would be nice to have deep clean in the bathroom during my stay and removal of plates used from the room vs. leaving them during our stay. Since there are so many included amenities (thank you) please consider having a complimentary coffee stand for a quick coffee to go before the cafe' opens. All in all though would highly recommend. This place is fabulous!

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.

Stayed for 3 nights during the school holiday. Room was comfortable and well equipped. Plenty to do and great facilities. Beach was the biggest let down.

Nicole, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Matthew, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I love the separate bungalows cf being in an apartment or hotel room. Tucked into the side of the mountain so you get lovely sea breezes while sleeping in the hammock. Loved it
Lilian, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the bungalow we were in with the birds in trees and the wallabies feeding on the lawn. The pool, beach, restaurants etc were a 2 minute walk. The Wild life cafe was just up from the end of the street.
Rowan, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Leighann, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in the bungalows which I think is a better option than the large high-rise hotel. The amenities are wonderful- pools are lovely and you are a 2 minute walk to Cat's Eye Beach. We hiked Passage Peak- the trail entrance a 10 minute walk from the bungalows. We utilized the little kitchen in the bungalow and shopped at the local IGA which is a 10 minute walk away. We dined one night at Coco Chu and it was pricey but delicious, We enjoyed a day on the water sailing and snorkeling with Sail WhitSundays and had a great day. We rented a buggy for one day and I recommend doing that to truly see the island.

Nice hotel, no working pool or gym right now

Lovely and spacious hotel room and not too far from central locations (5-10 mins drive via taxi). Very easy check in / check out process. Unfortunately during our stay the pool and gym were both undergoing planned renovations. The alternative offered was a taxi to and from a nearby hotel instead to use theirs however I feel this defeats the purpose / convenience of having a hotel with these facilities. We booked well in advance and unfortunately had no correspondence to inform us of this (we probably would have cancelled our stay and booked elsewhere with pool etc if so, and felt a bit that we did not get our moneys worth because of this.
