What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spacious Comfort

I stayed in a two-bedroom apartment and was impressed by the layout. The master bedroom had a lovely view with an enormous en-suite featuring a two-person spa bath. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making for restful nights. The kitchen was modern and spacious, perfect for making simple meals.

Relaxing Pool Areas

The resort offers two pools, a heated one primarily for families, and a larger lap pool. I spent my afternoons lounging by the pools and enjoyed the flexibility of swimming at my leisure. The outdoor spa was particularly good and a nice touch for a little relaxation.

Happy Hour Delight

I loved the happy hour that runs daily! The large cocktail menu had something for everyone, and I appreciated the complimentary muffins in the mornings. The Drift Bar not only had great food but also provided live music, adding to the overall vibe during our stay.

Family-Friendly Fun

My kids absolutely loved the pools, especially the heated one. There was also plenty of space for them to run around and play safely. The atmosphere was welcoming for families, and the nearby beach was perfect for our afternoon outings.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Rumba Beach Resort! The spacious rooms were incredibly well-equipped and the staff was remarkably friendly and helpful. The location made it so easy to access nearby restaurants and the beach, which was just across the road. The only downsides were that the breakfast could use some improvements and there were some minor issues with Wi-Fi during our stay. Nonetheless, it's a fantastic place for a relaxing getaway.

We had a fantastic family holiday at this resort, enjoying a great location across from the beach and surrounded by plenty of restaurants. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, but the dining options could use a touch more variety for lunch and dinner. We appreciated the clean facilities and the family-friendly environment, though it would be great if Wi-Fi were included in the price.
