We chose to stay at Qualia for our anniversary mid 2011 and we arrived with high hopes. The check in procedure was fairly straightforward despite the fact that the golf buggy we had allocated to us wasnt working and we needed another one. Arriving in the room we were happy we had paid the extra money for a private plunge... More

Qualia is absolutely fantastic and the only disappointment of our stay was that it was only for 3 nights and we would happily of spent another few days there. There is not loads to do but more than enough for a week or so if you are looking to relax. We consider ourselves well travelled and generally stay in top... More

Stayed for 2 nights for our honeymoon in a Leeward pavilion. Everything from the greeting at the airport with the cool towel, to the complimentary Bollinger on arrival at the truly magnificent Long Pavilion to our own pavilion was amazing. Truly a holiday we won't forget. I would definitely recommend having at least one meal in the Long Pavilion. My... More

Qualia is AMAZING. I laughed to see there were actually "horrible" reviews, shocked! We went for 5 nights and it is one of the best of places on earth (and we travel a TON). We did not have the best weather, but we are from Seattle so hey, a litlte rain and clouds don't bother us. The service was incredible... More

I spent 4 wonderful nights at Qualia recently (Early Jan) Definitly every cent well spent, i kept looking around and just saying "Wow". We were greeted at the airport with a cool water, greeted at the hotel with a lovely glass of champagne. Plus another bottle on ice in our room. The room was to die for, we have even... More

We stayed at qualia for our honeymoon. I now feel I should have heeded to tripadvisor comments. Initially I thought the poor ratings on trip advisor could be one-off occurrences. But Qualia is exactly as some of the tripadvisor comments describe it. Excellent location but very poor management - not acceptable for the price you pay to stay at this... More

There is no excuse for the breakdowns in service you experienced, and for this I am truly sorry. Whilst our service is generally rated positively here... More

I love this hotel. So much so we wanted to spend a few extra nights but the hotel was fully booked. We were met from the airport and greeted with a glass of Veuve Clicquot. We were made to feel welcome and relaxed straight away. The views from the hotel are beautiful. We stopped in a Leeward Pavilion room that... More
