Had a great 12 days at Cairns Colonial Club over the recent school holidays.
The kids enjoyed the pool area and making new friends every day. The convenience of a cafe, bar, pizza place and also breakfast buffet were great to integrate across our holiday when we weren’t out sight seeing.
The rooms were always cleaned regularly and well, the staff always so helpful.
Would be great to have slightly better storage solutions in the room, as we lived out of the suitcases instead of being able to put clothes away in a draw.
Other than that - highly recommend and would love to visit again on our next trip up.
Was great for a one night stay outside the children on the playground and in the community areas until well after 10pm. Understandable but as a solo traveler, it was difficult to get to sleep with all the commotion.
A great stay! Was not walkable to the main esplanade is the only real complaint. Staff was super quick and helpful when our smoke detector went off in the middle of the night. The pool area looked great, especially for families, but we did not use due to timing of other activities.
Colonial Club is a home away from home .

Only stayed one night but everything was great and the staff went out of their way to change us to ground floor rooms as we had luggage and there’s no lift
Property was beautiful. Entrance is gorgeous. Pool area was also very very nice. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Only issue were some very tiny bugs in washroom of room , but were not the end of the world.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
For the price it’s pretty reasonable. The pools are great. Rooms are a bit outdated but for the price it isn’t bad.
I LOVED this hotel. Such a fun vibe. Staff were polite, it was family friendly (even tho I was travelling as a couple), they had pool that were well lit and everyone was enjoying into the evening, heaps of places to relax on the property, activities, they even had baskets of Easter eggs for Easter weekend. It was so fun! Highly recommend this place for family friendly fun and relaxed vibes. I will 100% be back here!
