Without question, one of the best resorts in terms of staff and service. Everyone was dedicated to making our stay perfect and they succeeded. Qualia is a beautiful resort with great rooms and beautiful property but the staff make it outstanding. Don’t miss the trip to Whitehaven and Hill inlet. Food was excellent-enjoyed the daily breakfast which they will customize to your liking. We will definitely go back if we make it back to Australia.

Qualia muss man erleben! wunderschöne Anlage mit exklusiven großzügigen Villen mit eigenem Clubcar mit dem man die Insel erkunden kann,schöner Strand/ Poolbereich mit Wassersportmöglichkeiten die inklusive sind ,hier die wirklich engagierte superfreundliche Mia zu erwähnen! sehr angenehm der turn down service wo es Tee und Duftlämpchen gibt, sehr wohltuend für den Gast! 2 kleine Minuspunkte: Frühstück etwas chaotisch, Kaffee kommt nicht, Bestellungen werden verwechselt oder vergessen, jeden Tag die gleiche Frage nach Allergien.... Check in zunächst von Hamilton super freundlich, dann leider Mrs Holli arrogant ,fast feindselig und unterkühlt und emotionslos. Wir verlängerten den Aufenthalt dort für 2 Tage- kein freundliches Wort, dafür gleich die Summe und Aufforderungen der Kreditkarte, schade!!! Immerhin sind wir der zahlende Gast und hätte uns über ein paar warme Worte gefreut.Abgesehen davon, alles top!

We recently spent 3 nights at Qualia Resort in early February 2024. The resort was breathtaking! We absolutely loved the staff and our Pavilion was extraordinary! We planned a fantastic excursion to the Great Barrier Reef via helicopter with a brief stop on Whitsunday Island's Whitehaven Beach. The resort has their own helipad. This resort is impeccable in every way and we cannot wait to return!

The most beautiful and best ocean side resort! The staff are very professional and wonderful and helpful. The pavilion we stayed is truly wonderful with total privacy and everything is to the expectation. The breakfast is excellent and the dinner dinning experience is spectacular! The pool and the surrounding is absolutely beautiful. The library has some most amazing book collections. It’s truly the best resort in the world.

Tranquil and serene
Truly for couples and those who wants total privacy , peace and quiet. Turndown service was very nice with some nice touches. There were incidences of miscommunication eg: I requested for inroom breakfast dining on the check out day. We called reception the day b4 and the reception said a form will be brought to us. There wasn’t any. So we called the in dining and they gladly arrange. Breakfast was great though. But drinks ordered wasn’t brought to us. We saved the trouble n made it on our room in the room. The day before checkout , i called the reception to request to pick us up from our room at 10.30 am. For some strange reason , the pax came at 10am for the luggage. We were slightly confused. Beach club has this slip to inform about the timing of picking up lugguage which I find was really useful. Also our luggages were not in the van with us on the way to the airport. There was a slight panic when we do not see our luggages because the couple with us got theirs. It only came close to half an hr later which was explained to us the vehicle ( the one our luggage was on) broke down on the way here. Other than that , it was close to a perfect stay.
