We booked the Palm Bungalows via WOTIF's website, having seen the newly refurbished layout in the photos. When we arrived at the island we were told by the concierge at the airport we'd been 'upgraded' to the Reef Hotel (a 1980s, Russian housing-style monstrosity).

We stayed on hamilto Island for 5 nights in November with our 18 month old son. Palm bungalows was the perfect accomodation, although essentially very basic in terms of a room with small kitchen area and bathroom it was perfect for what we needed, especially when the island is designed for you to be outside.

We were really aprehensive about staying here after reading some reviews, and even though we booked months ago, but we needn't have worried.

We did hire... More
