"The island has everything you need for food and activities. We spent 3 full days there and feel that was enough, the snorkelling was a highlight for our kids and us. The food was expensive as expected on an island but delicious. The pool was quite cold and only 1 of the 3 days we were there the spa was warm which was disappointing "

"Great sea view Very friendly cockatoos"

"A great hotel with good sized rooms"

"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"

"Was a great holliday. May return in the near future. "

"Great views"

"We enjoyed our stay at this property. The pool is large and perfect for a family, with a great BBQ and seating area. The view from the upstairs windows is stunning and it would be great if the overgrown plants were cut back so you could have this view from the pool.The kitchen is large and has everything you need. There were just a few little things that could be improved, like a wardrobe or chest of drawers for clothes in the upstairs bedroom and the shower screens and windows haven’t been cleaned in a while. Overall, we had a good time away and will definitely visit Airlie Beach again."

"Food was great could do with the ability to rent a small boat to see more around the island. Unfortunately for us had a super soft bed. A shame properties don’t tell you the types of beds they have. "

"Amazing place, incredible view and lots of thoughtful touches around the place. The hosts were very responsive. It’s in a peaceful quiet location just 10 min out of the heart of airlie beach. Highly recommend, will certainly book this place again in the future. "
