There are only 107 rooms, ensuring you will find that special place to unwind and enjoy this beautiful island. Unlike many of the islands off the tropical Queensland Coast, Brampton has its own coral reef just off the main beach. Brampton Island is one of the very few Whitsunday islands that does not allow day trippers to interrupt the peace and solitude. Brampton Island Resort is a tropical paradise and is all about fun, adventure and pure escapism on the Great Barrier Reef.

I stayed at the Reef View Hotel Hamilton Island on my honeymoon and I cannot recommend it highly enough.  We chose a Coral Sea View room and were not disappointed as the views were spectacular.  It was lovely watching the sunset every evening from our spacious balcony.

The rooms were very spacious with all the facilities needed to ensure our stay was comfortable.  Even though we stayed there for our honeymoon I would definitely recommend this hotel for families also because of the space.  It is also perfectly positioned close to the main pools and restaurants.  We hired a buggy one day to explore the island, however most days we just walked everywhere we needed to go.  Our favourite place to spend the afternoons was at the Yacht Club Tavern. It is a nice casual atmosphere and the food and drinks are reasonably priced.  The Mantra Ray Café also does fantastic pizzas.  Both the Yacht Club Tavern and The Mantra Ray Café are located on the Marina side of the island.

During your stay on Hamilton Island I would recommend doing a Great Barrier Reef day trip including a visit to Whitehaven Beach.  Whitehaven Beach is spectacular and cannot be missed.  There are tour desks on Hamilton Island that can help you book any day tours and activities you would like to try.  If you are looking for good value and comfortable Hamilton Island accommodation then you will enjoy The Reef View Hotel.
