We were greeted by a friendly staff member and check in and check out was quick and easy, Our room was clean and modern however the bathroom facilities could do with a upgrade as it didn’t match the room interior.
Overall we would definitely stay here again

We liked the fact a staff member called us and asked our ETA and helped explain where we could park our Ute and trailer. This made the whole process a lot easier.
Great place for dogs, clean and well stocked.

The Cubana Resort is located in a peaceful and quiet location in Nambucca Heads and is walking distance to the river and the beach. The room and facilities were great, but I had a small concern with the room that was allocated to me. However, it was quickly resolved by the Manager who was very nice to me and welcoming. She also made my stay as comfortable as possible and made me want to stay there again. The staff were very friendly and courteous. The food and drinks on offer were great too. Would highly recommend this place, which is great value for money.

A great place for a stopover or weekend stay. Quirky, fun decor, clean and tidy rooms and facilities.
Restaurant on site was closed on the day we were there which was a pity as the menu looked great.
Great value for money short stay.
