My 20 year old daughter and I stayed at the Reef View Hotel for 4 nights, starting July 10, 2008. The staff at the reception was efficient and friendly, and by the time we got to our room, our luggage had already been delivered. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, it was very spacious and had... more

I travelled with my husband and 2 sons aged 8 and 6. We stayed for 5 nights in a Coral Sea View room on a 'Family Escape Package'. This included a day trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a half day trip to Whitehaven Beach and a weekly pass to the Koala Gallery. Overall we had a fantastic time. I... more

The reef view hotel was fantastic. My sister-in-law organised this for our honeymoon and it was well worth it. We had a room on the 17th floor so it had fantastic views and the room was very modern, clean and exactly what we were after. The hotel itself runs very smooth with a bus already organised to pick you up... more

My husband and I have just returned from Hamilton Island after celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary. We stayed in a suite at the Reef View Hotel. The overall experience was great.

The island... more

We arrived on Hamilton at about 9:30am after an early flight from Cairns. We booked in at reception as directed by staff at front of hotel who had our suitcases. We were told by the receptionist that we were too early for our rooms, which we knew, 'and to go and find something to do for a few hours until... more

Our arrival from the airport via the shuttle was efficient and informative and this settled our apprehension on entering the Reef View Hotel having read a number of reviews containing many problems. These in fact had made me wish I had booked elsewhere. Check in was like clockwork with my wife and I on the 17th floor King Bed Room... more
