Very clean place and tidy ,staff were very friendly and helpful but I wish the fridge in the room kept our things colder and had a freezer and the room didn't have a smoke detector I noticed and a safe to keep valuables safe so I got a bit paranoid about keeping any valuable in but other wise what a nice place to stay

We stayed for one night; the staff were friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant served good food with quick service. However, the accommodation feels dated and could really use a refurbishment, particularly the bathrooms.

Liked: Cleanliness
Clean room, bed was fine, room was dated but fine. We called up to pick up a child's favourite blanket and pillow that we accidentally left behind. We were told they'd call back if found, without getting any details about name/phone number/room number/description of items/date of stay and rushed off the call. After asking to provide clarification they called back and said nothing was found. The location is convenient and quiet.

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.
