The Cubana Ballina

I loved everything about it, the room was clean and well maintained, the staff were so nice. I would of loved to of jumped in the pool as the water was crystal clear, but it was too cold. There’s a coffee then that’s there from 6 am, also there is a big kitchen that you can use if you need it. There’s a barbecue if you want to have a barbecue. I really big lounge area. You can also use. There was everything you needed. Do you have something to eat in your room and overall I write this place a 10 out of 10

There was nothing I didn’t like

Great place to stay for a holiday in Ballina. Love the vibe, really cool. The best part about staying here is the amazing staff though. The customer service is the best I've encountered and I've stayed all over the world. Locals who gave me fantastic advice about the area. Really made a difference to a bit of a stressful trip. The rooms are large, facilities great, one of the few places with more than 2 beds to a room which is really tough to find. Great location, highly recommend

Need to drive to major shopping area but fortunately there is a Chinese restaurant a few minutes walk away & a service station close by that also sells a few basics. No breakfast included in the price. I swam in the small pool each morning & was the only one but it was quite pleasant.

Roadworks meant I couldn't enter the Cubana directly & had to drive to a roundabout & return to get in which was rather irritating,

Very fresh and clean room with lots of light and a comfy bed. Big bathroom with good shower. Sadly didn't get to spend much time but was very happy. Very quiet. Fantastic little coffee van out front for early morning coffee and breakfast.

Nothing we didn't like. Bit pricey but that's expected with a lack of accommodation in the region at the moment and the room was great so totally worth it. Not too far from main shops so very walkable but a decent walk. Coffee van made up for it!

Such an amazing little place for a night stop over!! Update of the place was extremely amazing!! Loved the Palm Springs vibe and the colours all around made it very vibrant!! The pool was also amazing. They had thought about the placement of PowerPoints by the beds and the lights were lovely too!! The best motel I’ve stayed in! Will definitely return in the near future! Check out was really easy too.

Nothing - perfect little spot!

It was spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable. Decor was beautiful. Everything new and I presume recently modified. Staff were friendly and helpful. And it's so much more than a motel! There was a BBQ area, a kitchen & common room, a laundry, a swimming pool and FREE bikes!! The pool was delightful, especially with the lovely area & quality seating/sun baking options around it. We booked a family room, it had; a large king bed, 2 single beds, bedside tables & lamps for each, a desk with 2 chairs, a cupboard, a toaster & kettle, a TV, air-conditioning, a small fridge with mini bar supplies, and plates/cups/cutlery. (The common room has a large fridge & freezer, microwave, oven, stove, dishwasher etc) The beautiful bathroom has a skylight which makes it nice and bright. For tea we got Raamons pizzas delivered and they were delivered on time and were scrumptious! Best pizzas I've had for a long time! And just to note if you need your tyres or car checked Goodyear is next door and offer great service! (My vehicle was towed by Ballina Towing and good year found the issue and new tyres were replaced that afternoon. I'd have to say I had great service from Ballina Towing, Ballina Taxis, Goodyear Tyres, and of course The Cubana Motel.

The man on reception was exceptionally friendly and helpful, as were the cleaning ladies. The rooms were done up nicely and were very clean and the beds comfy. We even had a microwave, mini fridge and sink. The tv, Netflix and aircon all worked well too. Loved the neat coffee caravan out the front and the Barbie artwork in the room!!

The motel was on a busy road, which made it easy to find and central to everything, although there was road noise in the room. Other guests were noisy, particularly around the pool. I was surprised at the cost, for a motel ($700 for two nights)…

Rooms were modern, newly renovated, colourful & quirky, clean and spacious. Bed and pillows extremely comfortable and warm air con was on for our arrival which was a welcoming touch. Beautiful gardens and surrounds. Having the food caravan on site was a bonus for a quick delicious coffee and toastie before hitting the road again.

Location, decor, staff, the bed was really comfortable. All in all a really great stay. Really clean bathroom and main room. We will definitely be coming back.

The wall along the floor was dirty from what I presume to be from a mop being pushed up against it. There was also water damage in the bathroom.

It was very clean, well made bed, great shower ... TV remote didn't work reckon batteries were dead .. There were some trailers being parked which were noisy when I arrived .. but once they settled down all was quiet. Staff when I arrived and when I Ieft were very helpful. Thanks .. will stay again ...

TV remote was not working ..
