What guests think

Across many reviews, Rumba Beach Resort stands out for its prime beachfront location, spacious self-contained apartments with well-equipped kitchens and balconies, clean grounds, and inviting heated pools and spas, supported by consistently friendly, helpful staff.

Small touches such as morning coffee and muffins and a relaxed poolside bar add to a family-friendly vibe. A few recurring drawbacks include occasional noise from the downstairs bar in lower oceanfront rooms, limited bar hours and offerings, and isolated maintenance or view issues. Expect a comfortable, self-catered resort stay in a superb Caloundra setting.

We had a wonderful stay. The room was very clean and spacious, which made our stay really comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the utensils we needed, so we cooked most of our meals during the stay it felt just like home. The pool temperature was perfect (not too cold), and having access to the jacuzzi and the ocean for swimming was a huge plus. We also really appreciated the in-room washing machine and dryer, which made traveling with family so much easier. Overall, a very relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended! (My kids are already telling us to go back to the resort)

Nice hotel in a great location. Right above shops/cafes and across the road from the beach. Pools are great for the kids but could do with a deep clean and deck replacement (rotting decking in some areas). Apartment was spacious and very clean. Kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, appliances etc along with the usual (crockery, cutlery, drinkware). Bathrooms were clean and spacious and the spa was a nice addition. I’d stay at this hotel again.

We had pool views but our room on the 5th floor (top) and the majority of the other rooms on all floors didn’t receive any sunlight. Also the 2 lovely pools and 2 spas were in the shade for the majority of the day. In addition, unfortunately the bar was only open between 4.30-6.30 pm on Friday and Saturday. We were there in September. So the placed lacked a vibrant atmosphere.

Great location and friendly staff. Our bed sheets were stained on arrival and the ocean view room we booked had a garden blocking the ocean. Our balcony also backed onto the pool area which was not private. I mentioned this a couple of times and no solutions were given. The bar area has morning coffee and muffins. This is nice but could be much more. The happy hour was cramped and lacking energy.

Although we enjoyed our stay we found problems with our suite due to poor maintenance: 1. Patio door does not fit and whistles with the slightest wind. 2. Interior air vents are filthy/nhealthy! 3. If you want people to save water, why install a huge jacuzzi tub? 4. Lack of counter space in the bathroom and bad light switch and door design. On the plus side- friendly staff and yummy morning muffins.

The room and resort itself was great. We had a superior three bedroom with beach views, and the view was spectacular. I would warn if you’re a light sleeper or have small kids that you can hear the bar downstairs (not owned by the resort) until about 10-11pm on Thursday/Friday nights (would assume the same on the Saturday night). And the lorikeets that sleep in the big tree out the front also make a lot of noise through the night as people wake them up. These issues are out of control of the resort. Heated pools were also great, lots of restaurants close by.

Rumba Beach Resort has a prime beachfront location directly opposite Bulcock Beach with many great restaurants and a shopping precinct only a short stroll away. We stayed in a premium 2 bedroom spa apartment boasting panoramic ocean views. The apartment was clean and well equipped with a full size kitchen, two spacious bathrooms and a laundry. The resort provides guests with fresh linen, bath towels and beach towels and features 2 swimming pools, a jacuzzi and a poolside cocktail bar. The only suggestion would be a larger lounge or perhaps adding a couple of recliners so all guests can put their feet up when watching TV or relaxing.

The resort itself was very nice, pools were great, room furnished nicely, great location and view from our ocean view room. However we booked an ocean front room and were allocated level one above the Drift bar and the room was not sound proof. The live music went until around 11 both night so was very hard for our children to get to sleep. I felt Managements response was disappointing- they said they will let the drift bar know. My advice to travellers is to check what level you will be allocated or request not level 1.

Rumba was a fantastic stay during our recent trip the cost for the weekend. The hotel facilities were fantastic and well looked after. The bar down stairs next the pool provided a great location to relax and take in the atmosphere of the hotel and area. Rooms were good, clean, well presented and had everything you need to have a comfortable stay. Big bonus points is the coffee bar in reception area with their own barista. I have not stayed in many hotels/resorts that are not charging more than a $1000 p/n for that convince. It's a small thing but all small things add up eventually. Will stay again in the future for sure.
