It was a lovely stay and perfect to explore Shark Bay.
Pros:

Excellent location. Nice view of the bay and the sunsets and close to all the bars and restaurants

Cons:

The decor is a little old, and the beds were not that comfortable and kept moving. The housekeeping missed restocking water bottles and sweeping some of the carpets.

Not the best choice
Pros:

The position of hotel was good view excellent nice pool

Cons:

Very expensive for what it was.
Breakfast was awful very poor quality much better to go out to local cafes.
Don't rely on the wifi if thar is important to you not good here.
Shark Bay is definitely worth a visit beautiful but don't think I would stay again in this hotel.

Would not stay there again.
Pros:

Central to amenities.

Cons:

Very run down. Photo’s are very deceptive. Carpets are filthy. Needed to ask for room to be cleaned again when we arrived. The fan in the bathroom was clogged with dirt. The floor was dirty. Exterior of the property is falling apart. Definitely overrated and photos are misleading.

Great location and comfortable
Pros:

Location is great. Rooms are a nice size.

Cons:

Doors didn’t open/close easily, requiring some effort. They don’t close on their own, meaning if you don’t pay attention, they remain slightly ajar.

Disappointing Rip Off
Pros:

Location

Cons:

This property needs a lot of TLC.
The first thing we did upon check in is go to the shop to buy cleaning chemicals. The windows had not been cleaned in a very long time leaving the beautiful view unseeable, the carpet had not been vacuumed, the bed sheets had stains and the toilet was not clean. The whole property could do with a good clean including a blow down of corridors outside -as there was dust dirt and leafs from plants. We thought we were booking somewhere fancy that we could unwind and relax unfortunately this was the opposite

Pros:

The room itself was very nice and quite

Cons:

we paid the most for this hotel of our total 1 month trip but it was the poorest. The room was good and the local restaurant was outstanding but other things were less good. The pool was filthy. we did swim in it once was only one. The restaurant food was very 'pub' like. No breakfast facilities and everything in town was closed. we travelled each day to Monkey Mia which was incredible. When I tried to cancel one our nights here they wouldn't let me so we just paid extra to stay at Monkey Mia RAC site.

Brilliant would definitely come back.
Pros:

excellent hotel although would have been 10+ if windows were cleaned. View from our top floor room was very good but had to leave balcony door open to see anything. Dining facilities in their pub attached to hotel was also very good. Plenty to see around the area including Monkey Mia being only 30km drive.

Cons:

Nothing negative

Central location with Bar
Pros:

Great central spot, had its own bar - rooms were a good size with great view of Esplanade. Walking distance to restaurant venues (not many open this time of year). Pool area quite nice

Cons:

Attitude of some "backpacker" staff could have been better. Certainly made up by others. Off season visit to denham is probably not recommended, very quite not much open.

Pros:

Large clean rooms with comfy beds. I got the ones with little balconies with the views.

Cons:

A little window with only half glass coming out of the bathroom straight onto a staircase was a bit of a privacy issue. And for light sleepers - the doors were not well soundproofed so it was pretty noisy during a (very)windy night. Not a major thing though.

Not a bad place to stay.
Pros:

It a bad place but needs a refresh.
