The first of our selection of amazing vacation resorts takes us to the Great Barrier Reef

Qualia Resort a luxury resort on Hamilton Island in the Whitsunday Islands on the Great Barrier Reef is rated by those in the know as the most outstanding and beautiful resort in that part of the world. There are 60 hillside pavilions sitting in 30 acres with 26 of them to the windward side having their own very large plunge pools, the leeward rooms having large decks. You'll be met from the airport with champagne, and the welcome continues in the resort with phenomenal service. The rooms for once are bigger than the brochure photographs, and very private as well, making Qualia a very good honeymoon choice, but possibly not for families with children. The food here is excellent at breakfast but possibly not quite as good at dinner, but still delicious. You will be supplied with your own buggy to get around the resort. The vast majority of guests are of the opinion that this is a fantastic resort and beautifully positioned to explore the Great Barrier Reef.For more information about Qualia Resort Hamilton Island CLICK HERE

The second of our choice of amazing vacation resorts takes us to the Dominican Republic

Tortuga Bay Punta Cana is on its own private beach on the eastern side of the Dominican Republic facing onto the turquoise Caribbean Sea. Ranked in the top three hotels here, but thought by many to be the best, there are 30 accommodation units split into 17 junior suites and 13 two bedroom suites, and fifteen 1 - 4 bedroom villas this resort offers everything you need for a wonderful vacation, commencing with the VIP meet and greet at the airport, and the service continues as excellently as it starts. If you want just total relaxation with a first class service then you have come to the right place. The beach is beautiful, and accommodation large, and comfortable. The villas with up to four bedrooms are ideal for a family vacation. Eating inside the resort is good, but equally a walk into the Punta Cana resort area lets you eat at a large variety of other high quality restaurants. You can play golf, swim in the fresh water lagoon, and do as little or as much as you want. It would be equally as good for a honeymoon as a family vacation.

Our third choice of amazing vacation resorts takes us to the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt

The Hyatt Regency Taba Heights sits at the northern end of the Sinai Peninsula between the mountains and the Red Sea. It is quite a large resort with 429 rooms and suites, but the Nubian village style architecture and the fact that the resort is well spread out means it never really feels crowded. Despite the desert style landscape around the immaculate grounds are beautifully lush and green, and the hotel has its own area of private beach and snorkelling equipment for hire so you can readily see the multicoloured fish off the house reef. The hotel is part of a five resort complex so you can eat around, but the half board option is a very good one, with some of the best breakfasts anywhere.There is a supermarket to buy nibbles and drinks much cheaper. Some of the rooms have the biggest bathtubs you will see anywhere big enough for a family of four, but two hours to fill. The rooms are perfectly comfortable, and this is a great place just to unwind and relax, and if you want to visit historical sites, then it's easy to organise. Taba is a good place for a short break away from the winter chill of Europe.For more information about The Hyatt Regency Taba Heights CLICK HERE
