Top Whitsundays Hotel Reviews

Daydream Island Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to relax and do nothing... not much to do if you are not into water things"

Palm Bay Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this island resort was absolutely amazing. The island itself is stunning, with crystal-clear water, beautiful scenery, and a truly peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind away from the crowds. The staff were exceptional—friendly, welcoming, and always willing to go the extra mile to make our stay memorable. Their genuine hospitality made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. If you're looking for a quiet, tranquil getaway, this resort is the perfect choice. Everything about our experience exceeded expectations, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommended!"

COMPASS PT 5 - HAMILTON ISLAND - GREAT BARRIER REEF - WHITSUNDAYS - WHITEHAVEN

10/10 Excellent

"Great property in good location. Glenn and Caz were fantastic hosts providing excellent communication, seamless check in and flexibility on check out - thank you!! Highly recommend this property."

Elysian Luxury Eco Island Retreat

10/10 Excellent

"This resort is brilliant for relaxing. Only 20 adults on site at any time, which provides a great ambience and chilled vibe. The transfers are magical - we chose the helicopter in, and the boat out. The food was terrific and the accommodation very good with great views. The resort is highly recommended!"

InterContinental Hayman Great Barrier Reef by IHG

8/10 Good

"First room was terrible! Spiderwebs, and very unclean, barely 3 stars, dated and very dirty! The bed was terrible! probably one of the worst ever in our travels - the mattress completely sank and couldn’t sleep! We got upgraded to the next category which was acceptable and close to 4.5 star perhaps. Dinner at the Pacific was average and expensive. Not good value. Breakfast was probably 3.5 star. The best dinner and highlight was Amici’s which we were fortunate to experience on our last evening. The island itself is spectacular and one of the most beautiful in the world. I think what let the overall place down was the lack of cleanliness and the lack of attention to detail as well as the food. The staff were lovely. However the service when we were ringing to request things was terrible as most of the time our calls were not answered. Overall a paradisaic experience let down by a lack of resources, passion and training - let down by humans - a paradise deserves perfection at least close to it .. the intercontinental fell very short of the mark and what could’ve been."

Experience the ultimate oceanfront holiday at Villa 5 The Edge Hamilton Island

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic property, so good we stayed another day. Internet wasn’t great but that may be more an Island thing, so probably need a dvd player…hehe. Buggy was great, and views were amazing. Would definitely stay again."

Nautilus, House on Hamilton Island

8/10 Good

"Great house for a family stay. Lots of space. Prompt attention by the team to a couple of issues that popped up. Perfect position too. A short walk to the harbour and wildlife park. Beautiful views. Only criticism would be the stairway up to the front door of the house. It was quite narrow with no rail so at times felt unsafe going up and down."
