The Cubana Ballina

8/10 Good

"A great value for money property in Ballina"

Ballina Byron Islander Resort and Conference Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at the Ballina Byron Islander Resort and Conference Centre. The resort had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay, and we especially loved the heated pool — it was perfect for enjoying some downtime. The staff were absolutely lovely — friendly, welcoming and so accommodating throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble, which really made the experience even better. We also thought the package with dinner and breakfast included was excellent value for money. The meals were great and having everything included made our stay so easy and enjoyable. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend the Ballina Byron Islander Resort. Great amenities, lovely staff and excellent value for money. We would happily stay again!"
