There was some confusion at times, but overall, it was a nice stay. We wish we had stayed longer. A small kitchen is available for cooking breakfast. The shower had good water pressure. The wallabies on the property were a lovely bonus to our stay. We would return and stay at Palm Bungalow.

We loved our stay despite all the rain. There was lots to do while we waited for the rain to move out which it never did so unfortunately we never got to do any excursions but lots of walks around the property and eating out.

What a wonderful, unique property. We loved Hamilton Islands, and Palm Bungalows has such a charm, making it feel even more special. We had heavy rain at night so this felt very tropical.

This was the first leg of our trip, perfect for relaxing. The bungalows were very roomy and in a great location to walk or catch the shuttle. The pools are absolutely amazing and all the restaurants were delicious. Passage Peak was a breathtaking walk.

We stayed in the bungalows which I think is a better option than the large high-rise hotel. The amenities are wonderful- pools are lovely and you are a 2 minute walk to Cat's Eye Beach. We hiked Passage Peak- the trail entrance a 10 minute walk from the bungalows. We utilized the little kitchen in the bungalow and shopped at the local IGA which is a 10 minute walk away. We dined one night at Coco Chu and it was pricey but delicious, We enjoyed a day on the water sailing and snorkeling with Sail WhitSundays and had a great day. We rented a buggy for one day and I recommend doing that to truly see the island.
