Caloundra: hotel sulla spiaggia

We finally had the opportunity to meet a few wonderful hosts in person: Mariana, Ines and Jackson! They were most gracious, efficient, and definitely guest-focused! However (isn’t there always an “however”?) an issue occurred regarding a malfunction television set. This was reported on Sunday. 2 April; the engineer came to our room and confirmed the existence of the problem. He indicated he could not replace the television until Monday. We were not compensated for the missed night with a few round-about-reasons as to why not, e.g., 1) the rooms are individually owned and the owner had to be contacted to authorize the purchase of a new television which could not be done until Monday; 2) had we reported the issue earlier, a replacement television might have been available; 3) it was neither the fault nor the responsibility of the Rumba staff that the television failed; 4) the front desk did not have the authority to offer compensation. These “reasons” are interesting but did not address the root issue, namely we were denied benefit of the full amenities expected for the duration of our stay. Now, to a much larger issue and significantly more important: On Monday morning, 3 April, DESPITE OUR HAVING THE “DO NOT DISTURB” SIGN INDICATED ON OUR DOOR, THE ENGINEER DISREGARDED IT AND KNOCKED LOUDLY SEVERAL TIMES! When I opened the door he indicated he was there to install the new television. When I firmly pointed to the “do not disturb” sign that he did not respect, he repeated that he was there to install the new television. Needless to say, my wife and I were both very upset as we were still in our dressing gowns and were leisurely enjoying a cup of coffee on our balcony. This instance certainly ruined our stay!! The front desk staff did not even apologize for the intrusion. When checking out on Tuesday, 4 April, when I mentioned the violation of one of the most sacred policies of any hotelier (i.e., honour and respect the “Do Not Disturb” sign of the guest, then, and only then, were we told they were sorry but that the engineer was only doing his job☹ As a follow-up, I sent an email to the General Manager and he replied that the ”Do Not Disturb” sign was for housekeeping only -- so, beware that if you want an afternoon nap or merely want to be left alone, the ”Do Not Disturb” sign will NOT prevent an unwanted intrusion!

Great location walking distance to the plaza,Woolworths,McDonald’s and the Main Street. And is attached to a great tavern for meals. The shower was beautiful the room is modern and clean. Having a swimming pool would be great in the summer ( to cold for us this stay) Lots of parking available and it was quiet. Would stay again it’s great value for money. The only thing is check in is inside in the dining area, there is a reception area that was unattended I had to go to the bar and ask but they got somebody to come quickly.

Ho dovuto fare il check-in fuori orario, Google mi ha inviato via email tutti i dettagli ed è stato un processo semplice e facile.

L'hotel dispone di un parco giochi per bambini, una piscina e un parco acquatico. Molto adatto per giocare con i bambini. L'opposto è WWS, quindi è facile fare acquisti. Ho prenotato una camera con due camere da letto, una senza aria condizionata, un po' calda d'estate

I stayed at the Golden Beach motor inn with my elderly father while visiting the area. I was met at reception by the very friendly hostess Desleigh who explained details of the accommodations and the area and was very helpful. Our room was spotlessly clean. It was upstairs and had a double bed and a single bed. There was a fridge, tea and coffee provisions and a tv. The bathroom was modern and equipped with soap and shampoo. The room was air conditioned. There is a swimming pool and undercover parking. Then motel was fully booked the night we stayed, but it was quiet and we slept really well. Its a short walk to downtown Caloundra, where there are lots of restaurants. There is an Aldi and a pub a very short distance away, and a Woolworths and bottle shop slightly further (but still walking distance). This is a basic motel, not a 5 star resort, but if you set you expectations accordingly we found it a great place to stay. I recommend it and really enjoyed staying there.

Situato nel centro della città, sulla spiaggia, nel centro della città, vista del deserto e delle montagne! Come unico! Facile camminare a ristoranti di sera e shopping durante il giorno. Il personale era molto bello e ospitato il nostro camper per parcheggio, perché era troppo alto per andare in parcheggio sotterraneo, molto comodo camera, letto re, camera da letto separata e lavanderia.

What a relief it was to open the door in to this Apartment after staying on the 26th Floor in Brisbane, supposedly a 5 star Apartment but not. What a difference a few soft cushions, a bowl of shells and some dried flower arrangements make to the welcoming feel. Just lovely. It was so very quiet, being at the back of the building away from the street after the screeching of train brakes in Brisbane. We could have the 2 sliiding doors open for natural fresh air as opposed to airconditioning. All the appliances were simple to work and the bathroom was large enough to incorporate washing machine and drier. I would recommend this property.

Situazione fantastica sulla spiaggia di King. Vicino a negozi, ristoranti e naturalmente, le migliori spiagge del mondo. L'unico lato inferiore è l'ufficio di fronte non è sempre aperto.

La stanza era mal presentata al mio arrivo. C'era un tessuto usato e un altro rubinetto sotto il letto, i ventilatori di soffitto e i ventilatori di scarico del bagno erano molto polverosi, le sedie del tubo (pubblicate come un divano) erano state indossate e incomode con coperte di tessuto sopra di loro, che erano inclinate e mal montate. La pulizia sotto e intorno a loro sembrava non essere stata effettuata per un po’, proprio come sotto il letto; e neanche la tavola di cambio della microonde era stata pulita prima che arrivassi. La mattina dopo che ho camminato intorno alla città e al mare, ho incontrato il personale di pulizia e di gestione. La signora, era il mio contatto al momento della prenotazione. Quando ho parlato della mia insoddisfazione per la pulizia, lei era scusata, ma il pulitore maschile che la aiutava era molto brutto e affrontato, e ha detto che la pulizia era solo una volta al mese sotto i letti. Avrei pagato per due notti di alloggio con l'opzione di estensione se il tempo era cattivo (come guidavo la moto) Dopo le questioni sopra citate, ho deciso di uscire presto, perdere il mio giorno extra, e trovare un alloggio alternativo. Non consiglierei il City Centre Motel a Caloundra a nessuno e suggerire che il Cleaner maschile (o qualunque cosa sia) richiede un sacco di formazione nelle relazioni con i clienti e in come pulire correttamente una stanza di motel.
