Qualia is an example of how hype can only get you so far. To say I was disappointed by our stay on Qualia is an understatement. At $1200 a night there should not be a case of have's and have not's. Unfortunately at Qualia there is. Only half the resort rooms have plunge pools and to upgrade to a room... more

I stay at this resort as part of our Honeymoon for 10 nights. We were picked up from the airport in a nice Mercedes and dropped off to the reception area which has wonderful views onto the Whitsundays, normally at this time someone may come and provide you with a cold towel to cool you down or even check you... more

As per last rshah21's review, service was not up to scratch for what claims to be a 6 star resort. Here's what we put on the hotel feedback form: "Disappointing. Poor attention to detail Examples are numerous, including - (1) Unable to take a bath because of missing bath plug. (2) No bottle opener in room - would expect there... more

Qualia is a very beautiful hotel with stunning views, but unfortunately it stops there. The venue may be 5*, but the service is not! Most of the staff are unfriendly and seem to be going through the motions. You have to constantly ask for water at all meals. There is NO atmosphere here at all. The food is good -... more

The location on Hamilton Island on the Great Barrier Reef was pristine. The Windward Pavilion we stayed in was luxurious, including the private infinity plunge pool. But... well, I would not recommend it to friends. I'd like to believe I'm not the super-snotty type of visitor (of which there were plenty there), but if you claim that you're a six... more

We stayed at Qualia in late October for 4 nights. It was a special holiday (without the children!) for our 15th wedding anniversary. The resort is divine, the views are amazing, the rooms spacious and well appointed (we stayed in a Leeward Pavilion) and the amenities fantastic. The staff are very friendly, helpful and polite. We did have a few... more

Have stayed at many 5* properties over the years, and this beats the lot. The rooms are fantastic, all large, we had a Windward Pavillion which gives you a plunge pool and I believe bigger rooms. Every room overlooks the sea. Lay in bed, which by the way is sooooo comfortable, and you have the most panoramic views. It would... more

If there is such a place as paradise it is here. Qualia hasa breathtaking beauty. We throughly enjoyed every moment of our stay. The food was creative, delicious and presented with style, waiter service was top of the line. The champagne/hors d'oeuvres sunset cruise was first class. Meeting the GM Jason on the helli pad outside his residence for sunset... more

My partner and I stayed at Qualia for our anniversary this year and it was just AMAZING! I am a travel agent, so have stayed in many very nice hotels around the world and would have to say that Qualia is one of the best I have experienced. The rooms we very modern, clean and comfortable. They were also very... more
