The view
It was old and dated for the price.
Fabulous location and great staff.
Location
My room was an average standard.
The views are incredible, especially from the top floor suites. Fortunately we had a suite, it was expensive but definitely worth it. We were treated very well by the staff and Alexis from consierge drove us to the airport at the end of our stay. The staff were lovely and helpful throughout, especially Emma & Callum. The suite was huge, duplex with two balconies.
It’s a huge hotel and very busy in January. The bar area could benefit from updating with better lighting. There’s no ambiance and it’s not very luxurious. The dining area is poor, breakfast is a nightmare. It’s like a war zone! Very loud, messy and not at all a relaxing start to the day, although the quality and selection of food was very good. The swimming pool is lovely but not large enough to cope with the number of guests in busy times, impossible to get a sun bed. Unfortunately the hotel is way too big and stands out like a sore thumb. Not sure why the island decided to build it! We only ended up staying after our dates changed due to a tropical cyclone and our original bungalow booking couldn’t accommodate our new dates. There are much better options on the island.
comfort bed and easy to access tennis, gym and sport activities for free. My room was not much a view on level 1, not sure if it's due to only stayed for 1 night, but pool terrace restaurant offers kids eat for free.
everything in the mini bar is priced. Even candy and small can of pringles could have been complimentary.
We've stayed at the Reef View Hotel a number of times. We will continue to do so, as the hotel amenities are excellent. The breakfast quality is excellent and the additional included services, like the sailing and water sports add value. The views are really good as well.
The sulphur crested cockatoos are a pain. Don't feed them and don't leave your balcony door open - they'll open your mini-bar peanuts. The one in the photo stole the sugar packet at breakfast - entertaining, but...
Hamilton is beautiful location, room had an spectacular view. Staff okay.
My room at least very worn down, in need of maintenance. The halls to the rooms dirty, 2 our of the 4 lifts out of service during the stay.
Staff were very helpful. Sounds silly but the odd extra - such as free fruit at the reception after a boat ride - was appreciated. The room was spacious but needs some modernising, but the view from the Reef was fantastic and worth it alone.
The room could do with some modernising.
We enjoyed the location
The hotel is aging and too crowded, every activity or restaurant was fully booked in advance which sounds terrible as you have no choice left at all. Same for the swimming pool with no more lounge chairs left. Honestly not too happy about our stay.
excellent services, perfect location, friendly staff, wonderful view

Loved the room and the view. The Buffet breakfast was also great. Really enjoyed the restaurant for dinner as well.
Leaving.
Breakfast was excellent! Reef bar was good!
The room wasn’t cleaned well daily! The bathroom mainly. The pool was always full and not enough chairs
The Location The view from the balcony
It’s an old apartment Very expensive Breakfast was 52$ AUD per Person for average food
Good location and view. Our host at check in, Selina, is fantastic. Housekeeping staff was lovely.
Front desk: Dental kits took 20 min to get to our room. Alexis was not friendly during our check out and did not provide a tax invoice showing a breakdown of our expenses. Rude with us, but funny that she was nice to other guests…
Great location and attentive staffeasy access to the whole area
The bathrooms are old and out dated and don't feel clean
Location
Cleaning Service, staff shortage everywhere, lines for elevators at all times, line for restaurant, 45min wait for morning coffee order
Amazing location, big rooms. All rooms face the sea, garden view just means you will be in the first few floors. We were on the second floor and the view was still nice :). Free food for kids under 12yo when adults order food
Good breakfast but way too expensive - 48AUD per personWeird smell in the room, the one you get when you don't air the room enough
