Reef View Hotel Buffet Breakfast
One of my siblings and mine stand out memories of the Hamilton Island Buffet Breakfast as a kid was getting to eat donuts for breakfast (we were a sugar on the weekends only kind of family, donuts were rare, let alone donuts for breakfast)!
Nothing has changed in late 2025 (I just visited again, but these images are from 2022 - nothing much had changed), even as an adult the buffet breakfast was overwhelmingly good to the point there was no way you could eat some of everything you wanted all in one breakfast.
Thankfully buffet breakfast on Hamilton Island is included in most room packages when you book at the Reef View and Palm Bungalows (it's only available to hotel guests) so you will have plenty of mornings to tick options off your list. It's much cheaper to book in the package - paying on the day is over $50 per person!
You also have the option of a similar breakfast at Sails which coincidentally was where my sisters kids found the breakfast donuts on their stay a month later in 2022! ;)
