This is our second stay at the Q1 & noted that the place seems run down since our last stay (around 7 years ago). The rooms are starting to look dated & are in need of some TLC. Also the showers could be better cleaned around the door frames, I could see dirt which was not pleasant. The halls ways felt too hot and the carpet needed more regular vacuuming.

Upon arrival q1 was amazing, a few hours had past and I went to go use the hot water for a shower and found my room had no hot water. I called reception and they managed to get maintenance up there to try and fix it. I was left for 45 minutes with the water running and no idea what was happening. I called reception again to be told I was getting a new room. All was good until I was given the key and had zero help from staff to move my bags. I was a solo traveller. They moved me to a room which in my opinion wasn’t as nice, however the bed was very comfortable. After complaining about the lack of help from staff I was given vouchers to use at the pool bar and q1 buffet breakfast which was much appreciated and a lovely gesture. Overall, I think what happened was a once off occurrence and I would stay at the q1 again. The beds are super comfortable, rooms are very clean. I Will say the pool staff I believe his name was Solomon was a bit of a party pooper!! Let everyone have fun, who cares if people are screaming at the pool

The Q1 accommodation was lovely. The air conditioner was a little frustrating and there were no instructions on how to operate the sound bar and TV. Other than that, the apartment was clean, tidy, and presented very well. Loved that the trams were nearby to go to restaurants and Pacific Fair shops.

Good location

It’s marketed as a family award winning resort but apart from the pool having a shallow area, I’m not sure why? There’s not a play area, there’s not even umbrellas by the pool to have shade. The floor outside the lift was not cleaned for a couple of days, and the cleaning in our room wasn’t at a great standard. The room was spacious and most staff friendly. Didn’t think the desk offering trips had much incentive to buy from them. For example they were selling seaworld tickets for the same as going direct, and we found another place online selling them for cheaper. Good little shop outside and tram super close!

The apartment is extremely large with inside / outside space. Plenty of room to spread out, 2 large TV’s and full range of kitchen appliances. All the neighbouring attractions are mostly at walking distances from Q1. Restaurants, shopping, clubs, pubs, convenience stores, liquor stores are all nearby.

This 'resort' is resort in appearance only. It's got the obligatory fantastic foyer, front desk fabulous, stunning pools, garden, easy parking, views etc. The rest isn't great by any stretch. 'Resort' suggests - to me - that the property's owned by a company ; this 'resort' has a body corporate. End result being different apartments are individually owned. Our five night stay pretty much ruined by total lack of curtains, sun beaming through fabric akin to lace. Sleep close on impossible, room never completely dark ; glare was such tv couldn't be seen accept at night.Ended up purchasing windscreen sun reflectors, 3 at $11 each suction cupped to an internal glass door in bedroom ( curse the designer for this monstrosity). Curtains reduce heat in rooms, totally cost effective ! No ceiling fans. AC too noisy, shower pressure terrible, precious few power points etc. Kitchen great, fridge super chilly. Sofas cheap and uncomfortable, fabric harsh. Management has many rules here, as well they should. But the tattood loser thugs who seem to be in every elevator we used during the five days obey no rules, management nowhere to be found. Sat' at 18:00 we saw these muscled jerks departing the elevators holding open cans of alcohol, boxes of beer on shoulders. Right in front of families, kids, tourists etc. This place is a sham, deserves zero custom. Stayed in a genuine resort in Bodrum, Turkey, just a few months ago. Saw none of the aforementioned there. Only on the Gold Coast...
