Nice hotel, no working pool or gym right now

Lovely and spacious hotel room and not too far from central locations (5-10 mins drive via taxi). Very easy check in / check out process. Unfortunately during our stay the pool and gym were both undergoing planned renovations. The alternative offered was a taxi to and from a nearby hotel instead to use theirs however I feel this defeats the purpose / convenience of having a hotel with these facilities. We booked well in advance and unfortunately had no correspondence to inform us of this (we probably would have cancelled our stay and booked elsewhere with pool etc if so, and felt a bit that we did not get our moneys worth because of this.

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.

We stayed in the bungalows which I think is a better option than the large high-rise hotel. The amenities are wonderful- pools are lovely and you are a 2 minute walk to Cat's Eye Beach. We hiked Passage Peak- the trail entrance a 10 minute walk from the bungalows. We utilized the little kitchen in the bungalow and shopped at the local IGA which is a 10 minute walk away. We dined one night at Coco Chu and it was pricey but delicious, We enjoyed a day on the water sailing and snorkeling with Sail WhitSundays and had a great day. We rented a buggy for one day and I recommend doing that to truly see the island.

For $500 a dollars a night I would expected a lot more. Poor service no communication and had to pay extra for breakfast??? Cabins were ordinary at best.

We loved our stay despite all the rain. There was lots to do while we waited for the rain to move out which it never did so unfortunately we never got to do any excursions but lots of walks around the property and eating out.

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.
