Delicious Restaurant

I had an very nice dining experience at Bougshed. The food was well-prepared, and I especially appreciated the fresh vegetables included in the dishes. The friendly service added to the overall pleasant atmosphere. I can't recommend it enough if you're looking for a healthy meal!

Beachfront Cabin Bliss

I stayed in a lovely cabin with a stunning view of the ocean. The room was spotless, and it provided the perfect setting for relaxation after a day of activities like dolphin feeding. I felt at home with the well-thought-out amenities.

Comfortable Stay

My experience in the beach view room was fantastic! The bed was very comfortable, which made for great nights of sleep after busy days. I loved waking up to the sounds of nature and the ocean just outside my door.

Family Fun

The games room was a hit with my kids. They enjoyed playing pool and table tennis while I relaxed nearby. It was a nice way to unwind and bond as a family after our exciting dolphin experiences on the beach.

I had an amazing stay at the beachfront villa in Monkey Mia. The accommodations were practically brand new, with all the amenities we needed for a family of five. The location is stunning, and the proximity to the beach was perfect. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, especially during busy times. Overall, it was a fantastic trip, with a few minor hiccups.

I had an enjoyable stay at the resort with a stunning beach view and a relaxing atmosphere. The room was clean, but a bit cramped for three people, and lacked some basic amenities. The dining at the Monkey Bar was fantastic, but service at The Boughshed was lacking. Overall, the resort offers a unique experience with a mix of great views and some areas that could use improvement.

I had a lovely time at the resort, but it did have its ups and downs. The location right by the beach is fantastic, and I was able to see dolphins swim by, which was a highlight! However, the dining options were a bit lackluster and the power issues during my stay were quite frustrating. Overall, it's a nice place but could use some improvements, especially regarding value for money.
