"Beautiful outlook and clean. Buggy was great. I asked for the beds in the second bedroom to be two singles but it was left together, no problem really, I just slept with my grandson. Murphy bed in the second bedroom wasn’t stable if my granddaughter rolled towards the wall (It started to fold up) so we didn’t use it. Great pool area. We enjoyed our stay."

"We had a fantastic stay at Compass Point 5 and the photos don't do the apartment justice! It has an absolutely stunning view and gorgeous balcony to relax on, it is spacious with a well thought-out layout and the separation of the toilet and shower in the large bathroom is useful. Everything is within a few minutes drive on the golf buggy, which is fun to ride around in. The host was very easy to communicate with and the valet pick-up and drop-off all went very smoothly.Cannot recommend Compass Point 5 highly enough! Would definitely stay again."

"Had a great stay here for 9 nights, really enjoyed the property, especially the views! Some of the furniture is looking tired, would benefit from an extra chair and side tables on the lower balconies, one or two minor cleaning issues, nothing major. Departure communication was poor, had to chase up Luxury Holidays for what was happening, we should have recieved a text with check out information the day prior and never did. Despite a few minor issues, it's a great place to stay, would definitely consider staying here again."

"qualia is one of the most beautiful properties we have visited. The setting, architecture, views, and atmosphere truly feel special and uniquely Australian. Our arrival experience was excellent. Noemi provided a warm airport pickup, smooth check-in, and a thoughtful overview of the property and room. The accommodations themselves were stunning. We also had an incredible “Best of Both Worlds” tour with Pedro, who was engaging, knowledgeable, and passionate about the island. It was one of the highlights of the trip. The main challenge during the first 24 hours was inconsistency in service attentiveness. At times, particularly at the pool and during our first dinner at Long Pavilion, service felt less proactive than expected for a property at this level. Drink refills, reservation follow-up, and simple check-ins occasionally required prompting rather than feeling naturally anticipated. What truly elevated the experience was the response from leadership. Rebecca, the General Manager, was exceptional: thoughtful, responsive, attentive, and genuinely interested in feedback. Her professionalism and accountability significantly improved the remainder of our stay. Beach Club dinner was another standout, with warm staff, relaxed pacing, and beautifully prepared food and cocktails. Overall, qualia delivers an extraordinary setting and many memorable moments. While there were some early service inconsistencies, the property’s beauty, excursions, dining, and strong leadership respon"
