I had an incredible stay at the Q1 Resort and Spa! The views from my room were absolutely breathtaking, and the accommodations were top-notch and comfortable. The only downside was the lack of seating around the pool, as many guests would reserve chairs and not return for a while. Overall, though, my experience was fantastic, and I’m eager to return!

I had a fantastic stay at Q1, enjoying the spacious and clean apartment as well as the great amenities. The location was perfect, close to both the beach and shops, making it super convenient. While the view from our suite was stunning, the noise from the tram station below was at times disruptive, especially at night. Overall, though, the hotel offered great value for money, especially considering the luxurious facilities available.

We had a fantastic time during our stay! The apartment was excellent with breathtaking views of the Gold Coast. The breakfast at the observation deck was delicious and catered to a variety of tastes. However, while the accommodation was great, our experience was slightly marred by a negative interaction with one staff member at reception, which stood out given the otherwise impressive environment. Overall, it's a place I'd definitely return to.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely delightful! The views from our apartment were breathtaking, and the space was both clean and well-maintained. The location was great, close to the beach and lots of dining options, but I wished there were blackout curtains for a better sleep. Overall, it felt like a fantastic getaway with just a couple of small downsides.

We had a wonderful family stay at Q1, enjoying stunning views and great facilities like the heated indoor pool. The apartment was clean and modern, featuring a fully equipped kitchen and laundry. However, we faced some issues with the rollaway bed and housekeeping services that affected our overall experience.
