magnificent sunrise and sundown beautiful nature a lot of happy natural animals sporting facilities free informations and dolphins presentations

Britta Australia

Room was really comfortable and clean and in a great location with amazing views over the bay.

Charlotte Australia

the location is 5 star and the resort is very comfortable

Terence Australia

The resort was located next to the beach where the dolphins are fed in the mornings. The two main restaurants/bar gave serviceable meals. the resort had plenty of wildlife associated with it, including emus cormorants and dolphins

Kenneth Australia

I like that our room opens out to the beach and there is a restaurant that serves reasonably good food.

Ruby Australia

It was fabulous, so well set out. Restaurant, Bar, pool, shop, everything was excellent.

Terrene Australia

The shared bathroom was a new experience - it was spotless and the best shower I've had in WA.

Buchanan Australia

Loved the location of our room, overlooking the ocean.

Sabrina Australia

The room was neat and there was room service everyday which was nice. You can get fresh towels anytime. But the hotel had only one restaurant operational at that time and there was a new restaurant manager who was rude. The other staff at the restaurant are lovely though. There is no new menu of the day every day. So if you are planning to stay at Monkey Mia for couple of days and don't plan to cook, you get very bored with the food as it's the same food lunch and dinner. You can otherwise go to Denham which had very nice food. But it is a 20 minutes drive, so about 40 minutes of travel. We enjoyed our stay though as we were able to interact with wildlife.
