Rumba Beach Resort (Caloundra, Australia)

When you stay here you're literally surrounded by all the attractions that Caloundra has to offer, from the beach and the sea to the many restaurants and bars that line the esplanade.

The accommodation on offer here is truly first class, with no expense spared in creating comfortable and luxurious apartments that are an absolute pleasure to stay in. Don't hold back on the luggage, there's plenty of extra space in all the apartments.

You will find it hard to fault the customer service provided by the friendly and professional staff here, they are very well trained and good at their jobs. Any requests you have, no matter how big or small, will be dealt with quickly and politely.

Make sure you double check when you make your booking that you are getting accommodation with a decent sea view. Some apartments here offers a much better view than others, so don't be left with the short straw.

This resort is in a busy part of the city, so rooms should really have sufficient soundproofing to block outside noise. Unfortunately they do not, so if you're a light sleeper you might want to pack a set of earplugs just in case things get noisy.

One thing that this place isn't is cheap, and you could even claim the room rates and onsite amenities are overpriced. Be prepared for this before booking, and check other nearby options to see if you can get a better deal.
