It was not that accessible and struggled to use public bathroom near foyer due to heavy doors. Was very slippery when when and struggled to walk with crutches. Was put in furtherst room on wing and struggled to walk that far dispite informing prior i had differculty with mobility. I was told if i need an actual room that is accessible i will need to book 2 rooms and be charged double! I was unable to open and push door myself as too heavy and almost fell trying. From 6.30 every morning heard glass bottles being smashed and till 11.30-12 at night heard kids running around upstairs and chairs scrapping. Was very noisy. Not able to cater for dietary needs for lunch and dinner as had cross contamination. Room size was good and handy to have microwave in room as couldn't eat much on island. That is probably all that was good. Overall very disappointed in my stay

The Reef Hotel is fine,and great value with a million dollar view, it's been years since I've stayed there and I had forgotten just how amazing it is, nothing else matters when you are staring out over the whitsundays. Large rooms, large bathrooms, comfortable, clean would definitely stay again.

Great short stay
We had a fantastic stay at the Reef View Hotel! The room was incredibly comfortable and surprisingly spacious. Even though we chose a garden view room, the view was still impressive. The location was perfect, with just a short walk to the main village, making it very convenient. Overall, a great experience - we would definitely stay here again!

Book direct to get better pricing
The hotel location was just perfect. I booked the twin room based on the photos. Sadly on arriving to the room even thou it was spacious the bathroom was old and dated and dirty and looked nothing like the updated photos on the booking. The grout and shower screen needed a good scrub. The room had a musky carpet smell. What surprised me even more was that Hamilton Island accommodation was offering 25% off room rate for our dates. It was such a disappointment as we were celebrating a special birthday and the additional money could have been spent on day trips, dining or other activities. I have been booking with hotels.com for a number of years and they have always been competitive. Sadly not on this occasion.

Overall very good hotel for family holiday. I found most of staffs were young & had accents. I assume they are on their working holidays. Most of them were nice but some were a bit rude. I guess they dont have much experience in customer service & don't care much as they are there for short term only
