ghost Posted September 3, 2010 Report Share Posted September 3, 2010 Calling all aussies or people in the know! Any recommendation as to which of the great barrier reef whitsunday islands is best for romancing? I was recommended hamilton islands but im told it's rather commercialised? Thanks for any advice rendered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 The Whitsundays are a bit odd because many of the islands you see in photos are islands that can be visited for the day by boat (Whitsunday Island for example) rather than being able to stay on them. Hamilton Island is pretty much the hub for everything because it has an airport, there are also self-contained resorts on Hayman Island, Daydream Island and Lindeman Island. Hamilton Island is a resort island, which means that all accommodation on the island shares in the facilities across it (i.e. all the pools and so on). Everyone gets around by golf buggy. On the plus side, it has more choice for restaurants, and all the day trips and boating will be available from there. On the downside, it doesn't have the white sands and blue water that you see on Whitsunday Island. Definitely don't go during cyclone season though, it's not a lot of fun in the rain.
