chose the rumba resort for our anniversary, glad I did so, as it was very cold out, and we didn't have to go far to eat!! Loved the spa, large kitchen and the movie service. Staff were helpful and friendly. Loved the 4th floor room with a great view. The lap pool re-opened during our stay, but we were too... More

Interesting comment from Linda D about the staff. We had booked 5 nights at a decent price ($1,200). The unit was excellent and right at the front with a brilliant view. As Linda said; the staff weren't rude but I was a bit surprised to find that the male staff especially didn't even look at us when we passed them... More

I’m so sorry to receive your review. We really do try to please all our guests but it seems we’ve let you down. Our recent pool renovations (now completed) have been very difficult. We have advertised these renovations on our website and on sites like wotif.com but we of course these messages are easy to miss. If your towels were... More

We stayed in a 3 bedroom ocean appartment and were delighted with the friendly reception staff and excellent amenities in the appartments. Always ask for 3rd or 4th floor ocean views otherwise the noise from the esplanade and pool area can be a bother. Very comfortable with even added bonus of Nespresso machine in the kitchen. Great pool area for... More

We spent $488.0O for a friday and sat night and we were disappointed. The views were of a brick wall and passageway and the spa would not accomodate 2 average adults so dont expect a glass of wine with your partner after a day out. The lap pool was closed, we didnt mind that, but so was the bar so... More

Great location, central to everything at Caloundra. The rooms were brilliant with top class appliances including a capsule type coffee machine. We stayed in a spacious one bedroom unit with a generous spa and had limited water views. Unfortunately the lap pool was closed due to maintenance - we did not know this when we booked. The only downside to... More

Thanks for the feedback, and you’re quite right about the traffic noise. In such a peaceful area overall, the odd commercial vehicle is very noticeable. Always a trade-off being right in the heart of town. We hope to see you again and we’ll try and upgrade you to a higher level next time, upon request. More

Nice Resort to stay. Very well located, close to Caloundra Bus Station (really close, less than 500m). We went by train to Landsborough Station and got a bus to the Resort. (driving in Australia is not that easy for brazilians). Beach is in front of the Hotel that has pool and jacuzzi. Very clean place, specially because it's in front... More

We stayed here on the opening night and I can honesly say the rooms dont appear to be a day older ! Everything is beautifully maintained. The lap pool is closed for renovations, but as it was a bit chilly, most were in the spa area! Our Grandchildren loved the place, it was a highlight of their holiday with us... More

A wonderful place to stay over the 2012 Easter long weekend. The view, even from level one, is stunning. This resort is fantastically positioned for families with everything you need in walking distance. We stayed in an ocean view 3 bedroom apartment, which was spacious, well-designed and very modern and clean. What particularly impressed me was the helpful staff at... More

Our family of four (2 parents and 2 children) stayed for a long weekend in May 2011 in a 2 bedroom unit. The unit was very modern, clean and spacious. It is a relatively new resort, so the unit contained all of the necessary modern conveniences. Our unit had 2 bathrooms, which were extremely clean and sleek. The resort has... More
