Fantastic Gym Experience

The gym at Qualia may be small, but it offers amazing views of the water as you work out. I loved the soothing atmosphere and the refreshing scented cold towels waiting for us after our workouts. This attention to detail made the gym experience more enjoyable and luxurious. I truly appreciated being able to stay active while surrounded by such beautiful scenery.

Stunning Room with Private Pool

Our Windward Pavilion was stunning! It featured spacious areas with luxurious amenities and a beautiful private pool. The views overlooking the sea were simply amazing, and we loved having a secluded space to unwind. The room was cozy, and the outdoor shower was a unique touch. I felt like I was in paradise every moment we spent there.

Overall, it was a nice stay but certainly not without its flaws.
