Buggy was in the apartment hire which was great, the pool not the same standard as the rest of the resort, spa not heated. Many broken appointments in room c204, eg Fan, oven, leaking taps, shower door. Kids eat free at some restaurants. Would come back to the island again but stay we will stay somewhere else. B.M.

We have just come back from a week at Hamilton Island staying at the Hibiscus Apartments. We stayed in 001 which was a newly renovated two bedroom, ground floor apartment. It had everything we need, full kitchen, two bathrooms, two tv's with Austar, beach towels and of course the apartment comes with a buggy. This is very handy as most of the restaurants and shops are on the marina side of the island over one very big hill!! The ground foor was perfect for my son, who was able to play on the grassed area near our patio. The apartment is also close enough to be able to walk to Catseye Beach, the Bouganivllia Pool and the Pool Terrace restaurant at the Reef View Hotel.

We have previously stayed at Hamiltion Island in the Whitsunday Holiday Apartments when our son was just over one. We found it very difficult to get around the island without a buggy and they are quite expensive to hire, $80 day! They have buses running, but it was very hard with a child, pram and nappy bag. This time with the buggy included it was fantastic. We could do what we wanted, when we wanted......and much more freedom.

While we were on the island, my husband did a fishing trip and caught a fish that we were able to cook up on the BBQ on the patio. We also did a day trip on the Banjo Paterson. It was a great way to see Whitehaven and Chalkies beaches.....nothing bets turning the motor off and sailing!!! We all had a fantastic day.

I did a trip to the day spa and had a treatment which was very relaxing! While I was doing this my hubby and son went and played mini golf. We were also going to check out the new bowling alley, but ran out of time!

We spent most of our time at the Bouganvilla Pool, which is great for kids. My son made so many new friends which kept him entertained and off out backs!

We ate at the Manta Ray cafe, the Marina Tavern, the Pool Terrace Restaurant and all were great. The pizzas at the Manta Ray Cafe were our favourite. We also had breakfast with the koalas twice, which was excellent. It was a buffet with a great selection of hot and cold food.

We did sunset cocktails on one tree hill on our last night. Even though the sunset was not the best, we had a great time. Cocktails were delicious!!

We had the best time and can't wait to go back :)

We were very impressed with the two bedroom apartment in the Hibiscus lodge that we booked for our stay on Hamilton Island.

We were two adults and a 20month old and this was the best accomodation of our month-long travel. Our booking was made through [--] and it was very easy and professional and informative. We were picked up at the airport and driven to our apartment, where our personal buggy was available for use throughout our stay.

The apartment was beautifully furnished and very clean. There was a pool 20 feet away and many more available within a few minutes walking. The two bedroom, two bathroom unit had AC in every room and was perfect with a toddler. There was a baby cot available as well as a high chair, making our stay very comfortable. The location, away from the larger hotels of the resort, was perfect.

We enjoyed ourselves immensely.
