The hotel looked very nice and has beautiful surroundings but the beds were hard and uncomfortable and the blankets were hard and stiff. The toilet was noisy and would wake you up if you were asleep. The room overlooked the Dumpsters. I think it is clearly a room they use for Internet bookings.
Very convinient to Caloundra, had the best Indian food in the world at a small restaraunt on Bullcock St.

Overall we were fairly satisfied on our stay at Rydges. We really loved the 11am checkout as my wife loves a sleep in and we were greatful that we weren't rushing. There seemed to be various types of accomodation ie townhouses, motel type rooms. The rooms were very spacious as well as the bathroom. We only had two complaints that we expected the spa in the spacious bathroom to be double as this was our wedding anniversery and the advertisement said Deluxe Spa Room.
Also my wife suffers from a bad back and the bed was really hard. Much too hard and I like a fairly hard bed. We have stayed in many hotels/motels as I travel for my work and my wife accompanies me on alot of my trips. We travel from Cairns all the way down to Coffs Harbour. There have only been a few places where she couldn't tolerate the bed and unfortunately this place was one of them. Also if there had of been a couch she would of tried to sleep on that but overall we were fairly satisfied.
Caloundra has lots to do and see. As Caloundra is part of the Sunshine Coast it is not very fair to travel up and down the Sunshine Coast. On the Sunday that we arrived we went to the main street markets which were interesting. It was a little cold for us to swim but alot of people were either swimming or surfing. We had dinner at a lovely Thai Place at Maroochydore and then headed back to the RSL Caloundra where we found we could have also had a great mea.
They have entertainment 7 nights a week so as we played the pokies we enjoyed a very good band who also had a great sense of humour. Monday we headed off to the famous Hastings Street in Noosa There is so much to do on the Sunshine Coast and we are sorry we didn't come and stay the whole of our 3 day long weekend but will be returning sometime in the future.

For a 'Romance Package' - It was a basic room with 2 beds, in the middle of a block of the same motel rooms, which had been let to a football team on the same night. The room was very noisy; they were un-supervised and disruptive as there was no concierge in our building. We were kept awake for hour or two at a time, when they came home from the game until they went out, when they all arrived back drunk, then when they all got up in the morning.
Restaurant was fully booked so we had to get it to our room, however this fish shop down the road could have done a better job then the cardboard boxes we got with a steak sandwich, chips, a couple of "Chicken Tenders" which turned out to be only chicken chips.
It would have been cheaper for me to just book a normal room (Which it turned out this one was) and buy the bottle of cheap champagne and cheap little box of chocolates.
Caloundra - Very nicce beaches, perfect weekend for swimming and just relaxing by the ocean.
