Hotels in Caloundra and Kings Beach, Caloundra

Breakfast was plentiful. Unfortunately, I did n’t go to the swimming pool. Clean and balcony. There are few types of kitchen bowls. There are microwave ovens. Basically very nice. The rooms are big and quiet. Birds are always noisy at night.

Hotel location is good, very close to the beach. Parking is also very convenient. The interior of the room is fully equipped and the layout is reasonable. You can sit on the balcony to see the sea.

I went for a short getaway with my mother to ULTIQA Shearwater. We were met with friendly staff at the hotel who were extremely accomodating by ringing us when our room was ready so we could check in earlier. This was greatly appreciated. We requested an ocean view room in advance and our request was met. We were on level 6 in what looked like a newly refurbished room. The room was clean and comfortable with an outstanding view!! The breakfast included is only a small amount of options but I think the meals it’s self are generous and had a good range. We really enjoyed our stay and would come again. . The staff were wonderful, the room was great and the location was outstanding.

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.

Centrally located on the beach, in the town centre, view of the desert and mountains! How unique! Easily walk to restaurants in the evening and shopping during the day. Staff was very nice and accommodated our camper for parking as it was too high to go in the underground parking, Very comfortable room, king bed, separate bedroom and laundry facilities. Great stay,

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.

The room was badly presented upon my arrival. There was a used tissue and other rubbish under the bed, the ceiling fan and bathroom exhaust fans were very dusty, the tub chairs (advertised as a sofa) were worn out and uncomfortable with fabric covers over them which were wrinkled and poorly fitted. The cleaning under and around them also looked like it had not been carried out for quite some time, just like under the bed. The glass turntable of the microwave was not wiped clean before my arrival either. Next morning, after my pleasant walk around town and around the foreshore, I met up with the cleaning / management staff. The lady, was my contact person upon booking. She was apologetic when I mentioned my dissatisfaction about the cleaning, however the male cleaner / staff member who was helping her, was quite rude and confronting, and stated that they only clean under the beds once a month. I had paid for Two nights accommodation with the option for extending if the weather was bad (as I was riding my motor bike) After the above issues, I decided to move out early, forfeit my extra day, and found alternative accommodation. I would NOT recommend the City Centre Motel in Caloundra to anyone and suggest that the Male Cleaner (or whatever he is) requires a lot of training in Customer Relations and in how to Properly Clean a Motel Room.
