Hello, We absolutely loved our first trip to Hamilton Island and we will definitely be back! Stacey at Whitsunday Holidays was so super friendly, helpful and accommodating! We loved Poinciana 003 and would most certainly stay there again. It's in a great location with a lovely view. The apartment was a fantastic size for our family of 4. The furnishings were lovely and the kitchen amenities were very well stocked (plenty of plates, cups, glasses, cutlery etc). Kind Regards Sarah

OH MY GOSH! What an experience! We had the pleasure of celebrating my brother's 30th birthday aboard La Mar, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Captain Adam and his crew, including Bella & Diego, ensured that every aspect of our trip was nothing short of exceptional.

Overall we had a great time on our holiday. This was our third year in a row staying in Hibiscus 207 and we’ll probably be back again in 2025 - the apartment is really well set up for kids, we love the location, the buggy is great and the logistics to/from the airport are really smooth.

This is a beautiful, large house and fantastic value for money. The photos don’t do it justice! The upstairs area in particular has all been renovated to a high standard. The kitchen is VERY well equipped with plenty of cutlery, crockery, plastic plates and cups for the kids, knives, saucepans, an air-fryer, blender… the list goes on! There are plenty of bathrooms and plenty of space to spread out and relax. A 14-seater lounge is pretty amazing! Everything was spotlessly clean. We are an extended family of 15 (plus 2 babies) and house is just perfect for 4 couples or families, with 4 different bedroom zones. Upstairs, the master bedroom is straight off the living area (great for the grandparents but wouldn’t work for babies trying to sleep in the day). Then the other 2 upstairs bedrooms are together at the other end of the house. Downstairs there is one very large family bedroom with its own ensuite, which easily slept a family of 4. Then at the other end are 2 bedrooms and a bathroom, all next to each other in their own “zone”. So each family has their own little space. The laundry is quite large with a great washing machine and dryer. The pool area is also so much nicer than the pictures. We loved having our own pool and lounge chairs. The upstairs verandah is HUGE with great views over the water. We enjoyed most evenings out on the deck. Hints for families - food and supplies can be expensive on the island. Bring as much with you as you can! It's a great idea to pack some games and activities for the kids in case you get some rainy days. We were really impressed with Whitsunday Holidays and highly recommend booking your holiday through them. Communication via emails or phone calls was always super speedy, super helpful and informative. We had a few small maintenance issues with the house during our stay and they were dealt with immediately, pleasantly and with no fuss. For example, we asked for an indoor clothes airer (it rained a lot during our visit!) and one arrived the next morning. During the week we met the Gardener and also the pool cleaning guy, so the house is really well maintained. It was so incredibly helpful to be met at the airport and have our luggage (and us!) transported to our house by the friendliest guys ever! Such a great start to our holiday.

FEBRUARY 2024: Wow, what a wonderful and memorable stay! Everything was perfect. The apartment was gorgeous and the views were incredible. We felt right at home and we were extremely comfortable. The location was ideal, and within walking distance to restaurants, shops, the marina, pools, etc. Mitchell was a fantastic host — friendly, attentive, great communicator, helpful, and accommodating. He went above and beyond to ensure we had an enjoyable visit. We can’t wait to return!

JANUARY 2024: The accommodation was perfect for what we needed - everyone had their own space, but also large, shared living areas we could all enjoy. Mitchell and Liz were fantastic. Mitchell’s communication was excellent, proactive and honest. Mitchell went out of his way to ensure we were cared for.
