The room was good. Clean. Large with doors that led to a nice little balcony type area with a view of a pond. The spa worked but the sauna is smelly and an old. Dining wasn’t available because of a function. I missed the breakfast because it isn’t available until 8am on Sundays. Overall it’s a good stay.

Very cute property with ample parking and spacious modern rooms with a big shower, plenty of storage space for bags etc, and a comfy queen bed (we stayed in a Queen Terrace room). Staff were very helpful arranging a late check in. Facilities looked great but we were just passing through on a road trip so didn’t get to use any - will definitely like to stay longer another time.

Good stopover point between Sydney and Gold Coast. We stayed in a pet friendly family room. Enough space for all of us to spend the night and appreciated the dog bowl for water. Parking was convenient and good - located just outside room. Room was kept relatively clean. Close to the river so a nice stroll can be had in morning and some good cafes nearby.

Very disappointing. The “60’s vibe” is because the property looks like it has not been upgraded since then! Terrible bathroom & kitchen. Property details deceptive with no photos of the bathroom showing how dated and poor it was. Only positive is that sheets were clean, though the bathroom was not. Would never go back.

The room is very rundown. The wall in the bathroom/toilet were cracked, the cupboard doors were chipped. The soap holder in the shower was mouldy and loose which needs a very good clean and fixed. Overall the room is very outdated for the price we paid. It definitely needs some renovations/refresh.

Staff were lovely but the room was not clean.
My bed sheets were dirty and had crumbs and hair in it which I didn’t find out until I pulled sheets back to go to bed
The other bed sheets weren’t clean either.
My son wanted a bath so I went to get a plug from reception and after waiting for a bit I decided to wipe out the bath and the wipes I used were very dirty afterwards so he had a shower instead.
Bath mat that was hanging on the rail looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks but we were definitely not going to use that either.
I have stayed here before and it was very clean and comfortable on that occasion but definitely not on this one.
It was like the room had been missed by the cleaners.

Travelled as family of 4, 2 singles and a queen bed is perfect. We were in the ground floor of the 2 storey part of the complex.. the people above were like elephants stomping around, and at 5am that isn't nice. The fans in the bathroom, aircon, and every toilet and water flush from upstairs were well heard... if staying i'd suggest not getting the bottom floor under others..

Room was big. Dated, but worked well.
Pool wasn't too enticing, leaves on the bottom etc, spa was warm, but we didn't venture in.

Location was great, rsl had a pretty good meal.

Being a public holiday not much going on. Reception closed 430pm so at 437pm we had to lock box collect keys, which wasn't too much of a hassle, but we had planned our day to get in during advertised check in times.. and they closed early. Staff were in touch with us a couple times during the day - to check if we were coming and then to say they were closing reception early. Easter Sunday, nothing on site open for food. Can opt for breakfast on site, but we had our own.

Overall as an overnight to qld it was a reasonable family choice, and you could venture and explore more if you wanted to

The location and availability were so good for our trip. The bed was extremely comfortable. We struggled with the darkness, lack of lighting arriving around 9pm to find where to park. The 'block out blinds were extremely worn allowing the light in, like a sparkly pattern due to the perished rubber backing. It would be helpful to address the lighting of the property and worn curtains for a more favourable review. Perhaps as it was a little overpriced.

The main attraction was the Mexican restaurant with bar attached (and happy hour, which never disappoints). While there wasn't actually a lot of Mexican food on the menu, what was there was very good. A couple of biscuits in the room with coffee would be good. Convenience - room/restaurant/bar was the big factor.

This so called “Resort” doesn’t qualify for any Stars! Well below standard, even for a budget motel .. I’ve stayed in better budget motels. We had a sauna and then went to use the shower adjacent to the sauna & the shower recess floor was covered in human faeces. I advised the guy at reception who came to view it, then proceeded to get the hose, hosed it and that was it, DONE ✅ No hot water, no disinfectant, didn’t close the shower / toilet off - remained open for other guests using the sauna, spa and pool to use. Went back to check again if it was closed off, NO, it remained open. Went to reception to speak about the health concerns and request to check out BUT alas the reception all closed up.

We also had a red / ginger hair on our bath towel (we’re both white blond) - the whole so called resort of far from any being worthy of any stars.

The venue/street signage for the venue does not state RESORT rather THE CUBANA - HEMMINGSWAY BAR & GRILL.

Very underwhelming to say the least…

When we arrived at what we believed was a resort we were a little bit disappointed because it was a motel not a resort. We then went to our room which had very strange interior decorating and then spiders started coming out of the woodwork so I had to go to Woolworths and buy bug spray and tried to exterminate the room. The bed was comfortable. The sheets were clean and the pillows were fine.

We were coming after reception hours so we were told to pick up the keys from the locker box. We booked family room for 4 people (they knew we had young kids), the booking clearly stated this room does Not allow dogs, otherwise i would not book it because of the young kids.
The hotel allocated the room for us on the ground level with dog bowl inside with the strong dog urine smell just outside the door where you suppose to sit on the chairs and relax. This hotel is nothing like the pictures. The rooms are very run down and not clean. For the little time we spend there, our feet were black. Skirtings full of dust, pubic hairs and dead insects in the bathroom, cutlery box full of dust and crumbs. We were not comfortable staying in this room and were coming from Sunshine coast to Sydney and needed a clean stop over for the night. We contacted the manager of hotel Steve Gerreyn, he tried to assure us this room is not dog friendly and only for families until i sent him the photos of dog bowl in the room. We asked him to give us a different room but he said he doesn't have any available and offered refund because we couldn't stay in this not clean room. So we had no choice but to drive to Sydney with 2 little kids at night time. Its over a week now and we still did not get refund and now Steve ignores our phone calls and message. Please do not book your stay there .

The lower section of the door jamb for the bathroom in room 5 was disintegrated, so a bit of carpentry maintenance wouldn’t go astray and was not impressed with the restaurant food. The chopped Mexican salad would be better if the ingredients weren’t mostly from a can.
Otherwise, staff were all friendly and the room was really nice.

Its very kid friendly and nice and close to the river. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. My family had a nice stay.

Room clean enough although a little dated. Unfortunately for the 2 nights that I stayed the restaurant was not open, and with no microwave/crockery/cuttlery in the room I needed to go elsewhere to eat.

the room seemed big with the tall walls and high ceiling - spacey and white. i liked the balcony area that looked onto a lake with lotus flowers in bloom (in the afternoon).

we were given an early check in - Justeena called and sent a text while we bided our time at the nearby shopping centre.

i enjoyed our stay there in general.

A good dog-friendly stay

We’re always looking for a good dog-friendly spot on our drive between Sydney and Brisbane and had a great stay at Cubana. The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

Comfortable stay in a large, clean and quiet room. We had some small plate food in the restaurant which was very nice. Only negative is that you need to drive to main restaurants or clubs.

Big room for a family, we weren't on top of each other, which was good.
Room was a bit weird, with pictures of dolls on walls and each room painted differently.

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.

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.

Watch Netflix in the reception

No wifi no help
Our wifi did not work in our room
We inquired at reception and were simply told it was odd and that others had said the same thing
They said to come to reception but it would have looked odd sitting in our bed watching Netflix in the reception lol
No care was given at all

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
