Hamilton Island has its pros and cons. The bungalows are spacious and clean but need a bit more storage and updates, especially the dining venues. While the food at Coca Chu was fantastic, the service and ambiance at Sails were disappointing. The staff seemed overwhelmed during peak times, which affected our experience. Overall, the island itself is beautiful, but service improvements and facility upgrades are necessary for a better stay.
