Reef View Hotel

Reef View Hotel

8/10 Good
"Nice hotel in a great location. Our King Coral room felt a little dated but the 15th floor provided excellent views across Catseye Beach, with a nice balcony to sit and watch the world below. The buffet breakfast is extensive and fantastic. Every taste is catered for with heaps of food every day. Ours was included in the room price and very much worth it. Didn't use the amenities like the gym, sauna, spa, tennis courts etc but they looked really good. Staff were very helpful and sorted any issues very quickly and efficiency Would certainly return for another stay if we ever go back"

10/10 Excellent
"Beach Club is a wonderful location for a tropical island holiday break and the staff are absolutely first rate! Nothing is too much trouble and they are so friendly and efficient. Breakfast offers a huge range of options, most of which can be modified to your liking or particular dietary needs. The room views are spectacular (idyllic), with wallabies regularly grazing on the lawns outside your room. Walks/hikes to Passage Peak and/or various other locations provide for stunning views of the Whitsundays."

"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."

8/10 Good
"qualia is one of the most beautiful properties we have visited. The setting, architecture, views, and atmosphere truly feel special and uniquely Australian. Our arrival experience was excellent. Noemi provided a warm airport pickup, smooth check-in, and a thoughtful overview of the property and room. The accommodations themselves were stunning. We also had an incredible “Best of Both Worlds” tour with Pedro, who was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about the island. It was one of the highlights of the trip. The main challenge during the first 24 hours was inconsistency in service attentiveness. At times, particularly at the pool and during our first dinner at Long Pavilion, service felt less proactive than expected for a property at this level. Drink refills, reservation follow-up, and simple check-ins occasionally required prompting rather than feeling naturally anticipated. What truly elevated the experience was the response from leadership. Rebecca, the General Manager, was exceptional: thoughtful, responsive, attentive, and genuinely interested in feedback. Her professionalism and accountability significantly improved the remainder of our stay. Beach Club dinner was another standout, with warm staff, relaxed pacing, and beautifully prepared food and cocktails. Overall, qualia delivers an extraordinary setting and many memorable moments. While there were some early service inconsistencies, the property’s beauty, excursions, dining, and strong leadership respon"
