I had an amazing stay at the resort, with spotless apartments that were modern and incredibly comfortable. The location was perfect, just a short stroll from Bulcock Beach, restaurants, and coffee shops. I especially loved the inviting swimming pool and the daily complimentary coffee and muffins. However, I wish there were more activities for kids during the afternoons. Overall, a fantastic place to unwind and enjoy the Sunshine Coast.

We had a fantastic stay at Rumba Resort, with spacious and well-equipped apartments that made us feel right at home. The location was unbeatable, just across the road from the beach and close to shops and restaurants. However, I found the dining options and breakfast selection a bit lacking, and some discomfort with the mattress made sleeping a challenge. Overall, it was a great experience for our family, but there were areas that could use improvement.

The hotel is well-suited for families, offering spacious suites and several pools, but as a couple, I found it less relaxing with too much focus on cooking and laundry. The location is decent but lacking privacy on the balconies, and the dining options could definitely be improved. Overall, it has its merits, especially for families, but it didn't meet my expectations as a romantic getaway.

My stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! I was greeted warmly upon arrival, which set a positive tone for the entire trip. The apartment I stayed in was spacious and offered a stunning view of the beach. I loved the relaxed atmosphere and the numerous amenities, making it an ideal spot for families. However, being near the pool could be noisy for those seeking quietude, but that didn't bother me much. I’m definitely planning to return!
