"The hotel scenery is absolutely beautiful! There's a big lawn right in front of the room, and sometimes you even see kangaroos. The ocean is just steps away, and free soft drinks really complete the vacation vibe. The hotel service is excellent. You can ask for hotel pick-up and drop-off wherever you go, and the staff are very friendly. Breakfast is à la carte, portions are generous, and the taste is good too. The only minor thing is that the room doesn't seem to have curtains, so it gets quite bright in the morning, haha (but on the island, you'll be woken up by birds anyway, no matter where you stay). The restaurant service could be improved a bit. I booked the hotel restaurant for my birthday, and the hotel emailed back saying I couldn't bring my own cake but could contact the kitchen for special arrangements. In the end, nothing special happened, lol, so the sense of occasion was a bit lacking."

"Worst check-in experience ever, the front desk manager ******* **** was ****** + invaded privacy! ⭐ Rating: 1/5 I booked a Pool Villa as there were three of us, so I contacted the hotel in advance to ask if an extra bed was available at an additional cost. During the online communication process, the hotel had a tough attitude and basically rejected the guest's inquiries. We decided to go to the hotel first to see if we could coordinate. If not, we could book another room on the spot. We just hoped that the offline communication would be smoother. However, a farce unfolded. 1. The front desk manager ******* had a bad attitude. When we arrived at the hotel, he directly asked us where our third friend would stay tonight. He also exceeded his authority and required us to provide the **order confirmation code of another hotel** first, otherwise he would not let us check in first even though we had already made a reservation and paid. 2. Deliberately making things difficult and forcing people to consume * When we were searching for other hotels and found that all the hotels on the entire island were fully booked, the travel agency suggested providing a temporary hotel name so that we could complete the check-in procedures first. * However, the front desk manager was relentless and even called personally to verify whether we actually had a reservation. In the end, she even forced my friend to leave first and insisted on going to another hotel with us to check the check-in details. I think this has violated the Australian Privacy Act and she has no professional ethics at all. * What's even more outrageous is that when I was filling out the information, she kept hinting that our hotel still had rooms available and could let our friends book a room for 12,000 CNY (without swimming pool) or 24,000 CNY (with swimming pool), forcing us to spend money. 3. Prolonged obstruction and denial of stay * We were stuck in the lobby for more than an hour, and she kept pushing us and was extremely impatient. *In order to deal with her harassment, I was forced to spend 5000 RMB to book a room in another hotel in a hurry * She still didn’t give up and went to confirm it in person. After sending my friend back to the hotel, she refused to send my friend to Villa 14 and directly dropped him off at the door of the hotel, saying that she “had other things to do”? ? ? 4. Discrimination against Chinese people * Before we left, we chatted with another friendly employee and found out that the bad-mannered front desk manager was actually Chinese. *Chinese front desk manager******** **** pretended not to understand Chinese the whole time. My friend apologized to her in English “Sorry my English is not good”, and she dared to respond “Oh it's okay” *This also explains why she can predict our every move, because she is always eavesdropping on our conversations! 5. More rudeness when checking out * On the day of check-out, the sister ignored us completely without a single greeting. When we asked her about something, she just stood up and walked away. If you didn't know, you would really think she invited me to stay in this hotel. Summary: This hotel is absolutely not recommended! I spent 25,000 CNY for two nights and spent nearly 5,000 CNY to book a room for my friend. I was treated so badly that it ruined my whole experience in the Whitsunday Islands. It's not about money, it's about attitude! If she had a little sense of service, the money would have been the hotel's income long ago, but she chose to act condescendingly and showed no respect for the guests at all. I have stayed in countless top luxury hotels around the world and have never seen such poor service. This is the hotel that I will remind everyone not to stay in!"

Reef View Hotel ★★★★
"The hotel's location is excellent, making it easy to travel anywhere on the island. The rooms are spacious and bright, and the balcony offers picturesque views. However, the restaurant is a bit small, so there's usually a queue for breakfast."

"Beach club is the most perfect hotel I ever lived in. Such perfect experience started when you first stepped into the lobby, they welcomed you with bottles of champagne and sparkling water. All luggages are transferred into our room after we landed. The food is also nice, we tried all breakfasts during our live and none of them disappointed us."

"Facilities: The room was very spacious, and the kitchen was fully equipped with all necessary utensils. There's a free direct shuttle from HTI airport to the hotel. It's not the blue or green bus; look for staff in dark blue uniforms waiting at the baggage claim exit. Getting directly to the hotel was fantastic. Cleanliness: It was clean. Even though the apartment building is quite old, it didn't affect the tidiness of the room. Environment: We were on the 4th floor, which isn't very high, but it didn't compromise the beautiful views. As soon as we checked in, parrots came to our window, and downstairs, there were little wallabies. The hotel's private pool downstairs was also very clean! Catseye Beach is just a 2-minute walk away. Absolutely loved it! Service: All the front desk staff were lovely, and the island shuttle drivers were also very friendly. It truly lives up to its reputation as a holiday paradise."

"Great bungalow! It's conveniently located right by the road, so no uphill climb needed. Everything's within walking distance, and you can catch the green or blue bus right outside to go further afield. Good value for money too!"

"Cons: The room was quite dated, and there was no smart toilet. The outdoor area of the villa always had a lot of insects. Turndown service was consistently very late, usually after 7:30 PM. The hotel staff were friendly but very slow. We asked them to come to our room for turndown service and to catch a gecko, but it took over an hour for them to arrive. Pros: The service is among the best you'd find in Australia. The hotel's private beach offers many free activities like kayaking and snorkeling. Showing your room card also grants free access to other attractions on the island. Upon check-in, the hotel provides a golf cart for exploring the island (a driver's license is required); if you're not confident driving, the hotel can provide free transport to any location on the island. The bedding was uncomfortable, with that 'sandwich' duvet cover design. Breakfast had limited variety, but if there was something specific you wanted, the chef could prepare it with available ingredients. However, dishes would take a very long time, sometimes around 40 minutes. The lobby has an open-plan design with excellent views, and during the right season, there's a chance to see whale migration. The natural environment is wonderful, with various small animals like parrots and wallabies visible all over the island. At night, you can also spot possums. Each evening, turndown service included herbal tea and dark chocolate. Any purchases made on the island can be charged to your room, which is very convenient – no need to carry a wallet."
