Top Apartments in Cable Beach

in Oct 21 we had made a booking at Broome Time Resort (BRT) for a group of 6 of us for 3 days from 25 -29 June 22 after returning from a Kimberley Hiking Tour. After immediately receiving the Booking Confirmation in Oct 21 we believed our accommodation would be available when we arrived A day before we actually left for the walking tour BRT allowed us to leave some of our bags with them (much appreciated ) and on these we were required to label the bags with our name, number as well as the check in and check out dates of our upcoming booking (still have the bag tag) However while we were on the Tour and completely out of communication (ie NO Reception for emails or Phone Calls) BRT cancelled our booking. Although once we were back in Reception and at the BRT Check in desk we could see that they had tried to contact us 2 days before we turned up - as planned and booked for as in Oct 21 - to find our Booking cancelled and we had no where to stay We were initially told there were No rooms available but after questioning why our booking was cancelled at all and where we were meant to find accommodation on such short notice - thankfully 3 rooms were found for the one night so our group of 6 could stay (at least for this night) Although 4 of our group had to find accommodation elsewhere for the following night Besky (the Duty Manager) was able to get us all 6 of us back into BRT for the remainder of our stay (again much appreciated) However we can't be the only group to make a booking at BRT (well in advance and receive a booking confirmation) go on a trip to the Kimberley - therefore being out of communication for the majority of the trip and definitely 2 days before (we were at Purnululu) so I'm not sure why BRT wouldn't know or expect this and have another process - or whey they would cancel it at all before our booked check in date. Still have not received any explanation as to why the booking was cancelled - and even so - as the booking confirmation was received and they had our bags (with check in/ check out dates) on them whey they would cancel our booking

Just fantastic to have a stand alone bungalow in a lush secluded setting. The room was well serviced with amenities (dishwasher, washing machine, Foxtel, webber bbq etc.) and made it feel like a home away from home. 😄 Pool was great to spend some time relaxing and the beach, fine dining restaurants and bus were all within walking distance. The really big screen over the road (Spinifex) was fantastic to watch the footy and is a great new place to eat and enjoy a drink. Thanks Ross, appreciated that nothing was too much trouble and for contributing to a perfect stay in wonderful Broome. Give Coco's belly a scratch for me 😉

Great location as it is walking distance to the beach. Note the front desk hours.

So I only booked around 6 weeks before our trip. The $2000 price tag for 4 nights and average reviews was quite confronting but I bit the bullet and booked anyways. Our room was the one bedroom with kitchen ( maybe called the studio ?). High ceilings lots of space and clean. We couldn’t fault the room. We didn’t spend too much time on it sadly just spent time crazing around Broome. Great pools, accommodation is quiet! To get around you probably need to hire a scooter or bike or car. Great spot can’t complain really except it’s not a $500 a night place to be honest - it’s just the going rate In peak season.

Booked through Luxury Escapes Voucher for 4 nights. Arrived one day late to check-in due to miscommunication, was not contacted by hotel to check whereabouts. Was greeted by helpful reception staff, and champagne. Staff did honour voucher inclusions ie. drink vouchers x8. Difficult to park to check in as not much space for car at reception. Secure parking was good, but the closest car park was still quite a walk from our room, especially in the Broome heat with a lot of luggage as we were on 6 week road trip and no assistance offered for luggage. Car park filled up quickly, and we were left with spaces even further away at times. Room was adequate, exhaust fan in bathroom very loud, ironing board broken (replaced upon request), no complimentary water in fridge, unlike other cheaper hotels. Good television, nice private balcony, good quality toiletries, otherwise unremarkable room. Breakfast was tasty, with good options. Beautiful to sit out overlooking the sunset at the sunset bar. Ocean pool nice, but food only served until 4pm, drinks only until 5:30pm despite plenty of guests still at the pool at 5:30. Advised to utilize sunset bar after this time. Unfortunately, not all restaurants open due to Covid/ off season. Good cocktail menu and quality, different menus at each bar. The resort was well staffed, and maintained, however seemed to be lacking the luxury resort feel we were expecting, especially for the price. Unfortunately it falls short in some areas and did not quite live up to expectations. Overall, unremarkable stay, nothing special.

We have recently stayed at Seashells Resort, Cable Beach, in a 1 Bedroom King Apartment for 4 nights. This resort is in a great location. It is walking distance to Cable Beach. There is a bus stop directly outside the resort to catch the bus into Broome town. The apartment is very comfortable. The living area has air-conditioning & a ceiling fan, as does the bedroom. The kitchen is well appointed with a washing machine, coffee machine, toaster & kettle, it also has a cooking facilities with hot plates & a microwave. There is a full size fridge. A comfortable dining table & lounges to watch the TV. Outside has an outdoor setting & a ceiling fan. There are outdoor communal BBQs with outdoor settings to enjoy your BBQ. The pool area is very nice with a lot of pool lounges. If you have a car there is parking available. The only downside is the shower is in the bath, but this didn't detract from our stay. We would definitely return to this resort.

TLDR: seems to be popular with long-stayers. Don’t expect help with issues unless on first-name basis with management, the rooms are “too cheap” for that. The thought behind the poor rating is that had there been no issues during my stay, I would have rated the place as average, and had my issue been dealt with differently I would have given the place a good rating. However, such is not the case. The rooms are as expected from the very low price, it’s just two bunk-beds in a small blue room. I had no issue with this since I tend to not spend much time in the hotel anyway. When I arrived, however, I soon met two girls who informed me that they weren’t staying in my room, in which four girls including me were staying, but they were going to move in soon and were for now just keeping their stuff in the room. I didn’t want to make a fuss, so I didn’t bring it up with management at first. It did however bother me, because this meant that it wasn’t just four people coming and going in the room, sometimes very late, but six. I felt that paying full price for a room with two extra people in there hardly seemed fair, and so I told management. Management’s response was to huff that I hadn’t brought it up sooner, and then go looking for the other girls staying in my room to ask them about it. When they couldn’t find them they informed me that they would look into it and get back to me the next day. I was checking out the next day but that morning they still hadn’t spoken to the other girls (not sure why that had to be done first 🤷‍♀️). I left my bag behind reception to come get later and told them I’d be back at around 5pm. When I got back the person I had spoken to wasn’t there, but the person in reception told me that I would not receive any compensation because: I had already payed, the room was really cheap, and they couldn’t control if the girls did this kind of thing. I didn’t argue, because it was clearly not there decision to change. The fact that I had payed is irrelevant, and for a hotel to not be able to control how their rooms are used is worrying. As for the fact that the rooms are cheap, yes, for a four-bed dorm. I didn’t stay in a four-bed dorm however, but a four-bed dorm also used as a storage unit. I would like to add that the vibe here is very much that everyone stays for a long-time, so the staff and guests are close and seem to be friends. Perhaps the service is better once you get on a first-name basis with management. The pool area is very nice and the toilets are mostly clean. I didn’t use the kitchen so I can’t say anything about that.
