My partner and I just returned from a 3 night stay here at Rumba Beach Resort while visiting for…read morethe Caloundra Music Festival. We were staying in one of the resorts "Spa Suites". These suites are 1 bedroom, fully self-contained resort apartments with huge spa baths in the ensuites. Upon arrival, the receptionist (Rachel) completed our check in with friendly enthusiasm, recommended a local day spa according to her personal experience and advised us of nearby restaurants and bars to visit. She then wished us a great stay and offered her assistance if we needed anything else. We also requested a pamper package to be added to our stay - when we arrived in our room we found a bottle of champagne in the fridge with 2 chilled glasses, a box of Lindt chocolates and 2 large bottles of delicious smelling bath scrubs and oils. Impressed. As the units are self contained there isn't any room service meals available - however housekeeping do come through the apartments if you show your "Please make up my room" signs and make the beds and provide fresh towels and tidy up. The pool area was always clean and inviting, the beach was directly across the road and all the suites face the ocean. The cost of staying here was not cheap - but considering what it is and how impressed we were with the service I feel like it was definitely worth it. I can honestly say I don't have anything bad to say about my experience with this resort. We've already decided to go back for a weekend stay as soon as we can - reception advised us on checkout they would do what they could to get us the same great room again. Will recommend this resort to anyone!

Spa in the ensuite, with a TV in the bedroom that can be rotated to be seen from the spa. With a pamper package thrown in, you can have a nice champagne and a chocolate while watching your favourite show. We had the luck of having the room from which they had taken the advertisement photo from - literally picture perfect views. I'm not generally a sucker for views but it was nice. Kitchen and living area were immaculate and very nice (check out the pictures!), plus air con throughout. This place is perfect for a weekend getaway where you really want to enjoy spending your time where you are staying and not feel like you need to go out. I paid $762 in peak season for 3 nights and a pamper package, which included bubbly (actually nice, too), Lindt chocolate box, massage oil, exfoliator scrub and a loofa. While it wasn't the cheapest option I have absolutely no regret in what I paid, and feel it was justified. The places are kept really clean, and I spied someone cleaning the lifts, too. My partner and I plan on coming back.

We got ourselves a two bedroom and it was a great size with a huge balcony. The hotel is in a great location and the beach is right behind it. There's also a decent little thai place underneath the hotel and a fantastic fish and chip shop just down the road. I think we will definitely come back!

After waking up and enjoying the beautiful weather of Caloundra, we were ready to grab a bite to…read moreeat before heading to the beach! La Promenade Cafe is situated right next to the beach and if you find a table on the back deck, you'll have the most gorgeous view of the water. We ordered different items including breakfast and lunch. The portions were a nice size. My friend customized her breakfast and was very pleased. Service was quite fast. I had a toasted sandwich with hash browns. The hash browns were hot and crispy. They have self serve water. Even though the food comes out fast, you can take your time relaxing and enjoying the view. They are full service so if you come around the lunch time marker, you can have a beer, cider, or glass of wine. Great place to stop by for lunch when you're in Caloundra!

I had high hopes for this cafe near the beach but unfortunately it didn't go that way…read more I was staying at a nearby holiday apartment for a weekend away with my family where we decided to go out for breakfast. When we got there we had no problems finding somewhere to sit on the deck looking out onto the water. Staff were all really friendly and helpful which made me feel good about the place and service was unbelievably quick. We all ordered pancakes with maple syrup and ice cream on the side. This was the down side. The pancakes were really grainy to eat and didn't taste like normal pancakes which was a shame. The only thing that made it ok, was the ice cream on the side which was nice. For a really busy cafe to bring food out pretty quick, i was expecting better expectations due to the friendly staff and the service they delivered. I personally wouldn't come back here again for breakfast unless I ordered something else.

The best part about the water park is that it has a little cafe attached to it. So it was easy to jump out and get snacks for the kids without having to dress everyone. The proximity to the beach was great. There was a supermarket next door and lots of food options in the area. Our room was decent. It took a little longer to get into the room than we would have liked and no one called to tell us it was ready (they said they would). All in all a great place and we are planning to come back.

We found this place on booking.com for $189 for one night.. We've stayed at other Oaks resorts before and felt comfortable staying here as we've done had good experiences in the past with other branches of the chain. The resort offers a restaurant and bar - but the main draw card was the kids water pool playground area. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. The room looked liked it had been recently refurbished. It had modern furniture and decor with a lovely kitchen area. My only dislikes about the hotel were :- 1. The room was very very Dusty.. Thank God the hubby had some Telfast on hand! I was sneezing away and had terribly itchy eyes and nose.. :( 2. The noise from outside our room from other guests in the hall ways and car park were really loud.. And also the constant slamming of doors from other rooms front doors was so annoying.. Overall, the hotel is okay if your staying for a short time and have kids to entertain.. But, the price point is quite high in my opinion..
