"The place was very clean & staff are very helpful.
The only recommendation I would give would be is that only 2 restaurant are not variety enough for a stay more than 3 days. Also the restaurant have limited choices."

"Room felt modern, clean and comfortable. Staff were really friendly.
Unique fish & bird viewing experiences occur organically while walking around the island.
Favourite organised event was the coral conservation tour (book in). Kayaking was great and didn't need to be pre-booked. Both were free and easily accessible"
"This resort is brilliant for relaxing. Only 20 adults on site at any time, which provides a great ambience and chilled vibe. The transfers are magical - we chose the helicopter in, and the boat out. The food was terrific and the accommodation very good with great views.
The resort is highly recommended!"
"First room was terrible! Spiderwebs, and very unclean, barely 3 stars, dated and very dirty! The bed was terrible! probably one of the worst ever in our travels - the mattress completely sank and couldn’t sleep!
We got upgraded to the next category which was acceptable and close to 4.5 star perhaps.
Dinner at the Pacific was average and expensive. Not good value. Breakfast was probably 3.5 star. The best dinner and highlight was Amici’s which we were fortunate to experience on our last evening. The island itself is spectacular and one of the most beautiful in the world. I think what let the overall place down was the lack of cleanliness and the lack of attention to detail as well as the food. The staff were lovely. However the service when we were ringing to request things was terrible as most of the time our calls were not answered. Overall a paradisaic experience let down by a lack of resources, passion and training - let down by humans - a paradise deserves perfection at least close to it .. the intercontinental fell very short of the mark and what could’ve been."

"Fantastic property, so good we stayed another day. Internet wasn’t great but that may be more an Island thing, so probably need a dvd player…hehe. Buggy was great, and views were amazing. Would definitely stay again."

10/10 Excellent
"A fantastic villa to stay central to everything. Very large and spacious with everything that you need inside - fully self contained. Amazing views over the water and nearby islands. The host was lovely and very communicative. Thankyou"
"Great house for a family stay. Lots of space. Prompt attention by the team to a couple of issues that popped up. Perfect position too. A short walk to the harbour and wildlife park. Beautiful views. Only criticism would be the stairway up to the front door of the house. It was quite narrow with no rail so at times felt unsafe going up and down."
"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"
