Hamilton Island | Not Exactly P-Friendly (But J People Will Love It!)

🏝️ First off: Christmas travelers, book accommodations at least 3 months in advance—I booked 2 months prior and options were already scarce！ 🏨 Staying at Reef View Hotel I skipped other islands to keep things simple—Hamilton is all about chilling, and this hotel delivers. It’s got pools (all guests can use them!), but hit the main pool in the morning: way less crowded, though it gets a tad murky by afternoon😂. ❌ Downsides: The hotel’s facilities are pretty basic—great ocean views, but don’t expect luxury. 🤿 Snorkeling (No Booking Needed!) I’m a P-person who hates advance planning, so I skipped the snorkeling tours and headed straight to the beach in front of Beach Club (opens at 8 AM). Rent gear and swimsuits early—by afternoon, they’re all rented out, and you’ll be stuck waiting for returns. Pro tip: If you miss the morning, just pop by later with your room number—no extra fee！ Snorkeling’s just the start: there’s also kayaking, windsurfing, and more. 🍽️ Dining (Book Ahead!) Book restaurants 3-5 days in advance—Christmas had tables packed, and last-minute bookings only got me pool terrace seats… not ideal. If you forget, Marina Tavern is a solid backup. Food options are a bit limited: Thai, Italian, and standard Western fare. 🛵 Transport (Rent a Buggy!) As a P-person who didn’t book a buggy ahead, I struggled to get one for days—ended up waiting for shuttles or hiking. Definitely rent one in advance—it’ll save your sanity！ 📱 Hamilton Island App Download it！ The app has detailed Chinese guides—grab a J-person friend to help plan, and book everything (activities, food, transport) ahead of time. Lesson learned, P-persons！ 😢 🏝️✨Hamilton Island isn’t for everyone, but if you’re a J-person who loves a mix of relaxation and adventure (with a side of chaos), this island’s your jam. Just… plan a little. 😉 #ChillIslandLife #PPeople #JPeople #AustralianVacation #IslandHopping
