Ramada Eco Beach Resort. WA. (7)

A little bit of history about this resort. This resort is build on the land of the Yawuru people, where the Outback meets the Indian Ocean. The original Eco Beach transpired from a fishing trip to Cape Villaret in 1993. Broome based builder Karl Plunkett, originally from the Isle of Man, who fell in love with this pocket of coastline. So Eco beach resort was build, very different from how it is today.
Eco beach was completely destroyed when cyclone Rosita (Category five cyclone) decimated the retreat 19th April 2000.
Karl rebuild the resort and used the opportunity to enhance the level of luxury and eco friendly principles of Eco beach.
