Nice Resort. Disappointing Dolphin Experience.

This is a large waterfront resort where they have the Dolphin Experience. There are varied accommodation options. Our beachfront room was a good option. We live in a coastal area and found the dolphin experience offered at Monkey Mia very disappointing.

Beach resort oasis on the edge of desert. Varying accommodation options available, our budget accommodation, double with bunk beds had a shared bathroom between 2 rooms, was compact but suitable. Unfortunately room smelt like stale wet footwear and windows don't open.

Go to Kalbarri or Coral Coast instead ....Monkey M

Few issues; (1) waited over an hour for breakfast to be served and it didnt even seem fresh (2) ants in our kitchen in unit (3) No hot water for showers in family units 3 seperate times (4) ride on buggies cast $20 / hour! free at most other resorts (5) the $15pp entry fee to the park is ridiculous when the dolphins can be seen naturally most times of the day
