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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The staff were great but the cleanliness inside the bungalows could definitely be improved. I don't have high standards by any means but when on a holiday you should be able to confidently use the supplied plates, cutlery, stove top ect and know they are clean. There were many surfaces that hadn't been wiped down in a very long time including the phone, stove top, fridge and inside drawers which made the bungalows unpleasant for me personally. Although I wanted the bungalow atmosphere rather than a large hotel I quickly regretted my decision and upgraded to Reef view which was beautiful. The staff were amazing, super helpful and friendly but I absolutely wouldn't stay at Palm bungalows again.

Hamilton Island was well worth a visit but if we come again a 3 to 4 night stay is plenty. Best thing on the island is Hamilton Golf Course (which is a 10min boat ride away) and would be the primary reason we come back. Part of the pool area and restaurant was being refurbished so all other restaurants and pools were very busy and you needed to pre book all, which we fortunately did. Our biggest criticism would be that the age of the staff is very young and with that comes a lack of service professionalism.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!
