We stayed at the luxurious Qualia for two nights a week or so back, and it was an absolutely beautiful experience.
For the price of $1750.00 per night which included all meals, may soudn a bit expensive but it was certainly an experience well worth evert cent. I definitely recommend this place to anybody looking to escape, relax and unwind, I will surely revisit Qualia in the near future.
A big plus that we found quite good was the no mucking around on and off other transport! We had a direct flight and in 2 hours you are in this beautiful oasis, under the heat of the sun. We loved the accommodation and its creature comforts, the location made it all the more beautiful, and the architecture made it simply breath taking!
We recommend and highly suggest to any traveler to go and experience the beauty and quality of service that Qualia holds.
