“One of the best”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2012

My husband & I stayed at Qualia for 4 days for our honeymoon following reading the reviews on Trip adviser, and we weren’t disappointed.
The airport pick up was seamless, the champagne on arrival was much needed and our pavilion was a dream. The staff at the resort were fantastic as was the food. Highly recommended for a true luxurious stay.
We also loved the free golf buggy and happily explored the island. We also had a friendly parrot come visit us most days which was really special. Thank you to all at Qualia for making our honeymoon so special

“Exceptional, True Australia Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 February 2012

My wife and I flew into Hamilton Island from Newyork for the newyear break. When we arrived at the airport we had been travelling for 27 hours and exhausted. Only to be greeted by Adam and Patrick, 2 very professional staff. Patrick collected our luggages for us whilst Adam was our driver too qualia, giving us a guided tour along the way ( absolutley blown away). We had champagne awaiting us for arrival at the 'long room'. We had a quick personal check in by Tegan and then taken to our amazing room by Adam ( who picked us up from the airport). This service continued our entire stay. Amzing lunch at Pebbles and Tatts by the pool was great.
The Spa was great ( i could live here) the young lady who i am unsure of her name sorry but she was so professional and accomadating. The only down fall about the spa is that it seems the rest of the resort staff didn't know about the products, I spoke to the manager Nick about getting my wife something special but he had no idea and suggested to speak to the spa direct. I can not speak more highly of all reception and concierge staff however special thanks to Tegan, Adam & Patrick who would go out of their way just to say hello every day and really made our stay.

Thankyou Qualia you made our vacation in Australia truley amazing.

“Weather dependent!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 February 2012

people found this review helpful

Beautiful resort -in good weather but we visited in strong winds and lots and lots of rain.As a result there is nothing to do except drive around in the plastic-cover encased golf buggy and hope for a break in the weather so you can appreciate the setting,the pools and the resort as a whole.
Excellent and friendly staff.
A tip-if you don't like creatures of the long and slithery variety-and I don't- be aware!We had a visitor on the veranda but luckily only my husband saw it and sensibly didn't tell me until we had checked out!
Biggest disappointment was being unable to take trips to either the beaches or the Barrier Reef due to the bad weather-a long way to travel to miss out!

Hamilton Island, General Manager at Qualia Resort, responded to this review

Dear Dozza,

Thank you for sharing your experience of qualia on Tripadvisor. We’re proud to see that you marked us 4 out of 5 stars and that you enjoyed the service we offer.
I note your comment on the weather. This year we have had consistently amazing weather with very little rain, given that you came in February, which is the wet season. Statistics for the year so far show average temperature has been 27C. We have only had 303mm of rain so far, with over half falling in just 3 days.
qualia and Hamilton island offer a wide range of wet weather activities including our food and wine masterclasses held daily at qualia, art classes, yoga, kegel bowling and of course our award winning spa. We apologise for the weather but are delighted that there are many aspects of your stay that you enjoyed.
I hope that you are able to come back and experience qualia in our average yearly weather conditions of 25C with clear blue sky.

Warm Regards,

Michael Shah
General Manager
