Hamilton Island Palm Bungalows Review
These steep-roofed, freestanding bungalows resemble Polynesian huts; each has a private furnished balcony with a hammock, cool tile or polished-wood floors, a basic kitchenette with cutlery and bar fridge, king-size and sofa beds, and ceiling fans. The bungalows (and neighboring Palm Terraces) are being renovated progressively. Family packages let kids under 13 stay and eat (in selected resort restaurants, and with their parents) for free; daily buffet breakfasts are included with stays of four or more nights.
