We redeemed some American Airlines Aadvantage miles to take the 2 hour Qantas flight from Perth to Broome (20,000 miles plus $44 in fees per person) to save us on the $500+ each roundtrip airfare. We stayed at the Cable Beach Resort and Spa, which was expensive (and not affiliated with any hotel programs, so no luck on getting free rooms), but nice. We ended up paying $349/night at this resort, which is the only one in Broome that is right on the beach.
We spent most of our time relaxing by the pool, playing cards, and checking out the beach and the incredible sunsets. The beach was pretty, but it was too hot and there were thousands of red jellyfish washed up on the shore and all over in the water. It was a pretty cool sight to see, but the pool was much cleaner and easier to keep cool. On one of the days we rented bikes (bicycle built for 2) and rode into town and went to a flea market. On another one of the days, we took a camel ride on the beach. Broome is a small beach town with a relaxed, slow pace. The sunsets are beautiful.
Our friends, Rick and Alex Kemp, came with us on this trip. Our other friends, Natalie and Tyson Portwood, were initially going to come, but couldn't make it.
