Caloundra

10/10 Exceptional

It was our first time on the Sunshine coast, and Rumba Resort was a great choice. We spent 7 nights in a one bedroom apartment. Loved the location and the apartment was great. We would stay here again, however, we would insist on or pay extra for an apartment on the beach front, not at the back of the resort (we had paid for a ocean view apartment). This is not because the only view you get of the ocean is through the gap in the buildings if you are lucky (we were), but rather the rubbish...
