Very good
Very good hotel with wonderful staff, very good food in the restaurant, cozy jungle-like pool area, comfortable beds, location only a couple of hundred meters from the ferry to Hamilton airport, close to the center 15 min walk. the only area of ​​improvement is that the cleaning could have been done more carefully. But the overall impression is very good

Nice pool
Nice accommodation, nothing to say against it. Even if it is located on a main road, it’s quiet and calm. Nothing to regret. Only, the choice (e.g. a nice salad is missing) of food in the restaurant could be more diverse. But there’s nothing to say regarding the quality of the food!

Airlie Beach stay
We stayed for 2 nights & thought the location was good, only a 5 minute walk to the Main Street. The room was clean & tidy and was good value.

Good place
The hotel and room are very good. All the staff are very friendly and kind. The only small problem is that we received a voucher each for a free drink at dinner, but when we went to order food at 8:05 the girls said that the kitchen had closed at 8pm, but the room information says that dinner is until 9pm, so we were left without dinner and without using the vouchers, as we would only be entitled to drinks if we were having dinner. The hotel is a 15-minute walk from the center of Airlie Beach, where there is everything.

We were greeted by Georgie at reception, who is amazing, our check in took seconds, our room was great and the bed was so comfortable, we had a delicious meal in the restaurant served to us by Maéve. Breakfast was delicious. Summer was on reception when we checked out. The Colonial Palms is a great little place with fantastic staff who are there to help you at the drop of a hat! We will be returning to this charming property.

It is a good location. Shutters only on sliding doors so very bright. Spa was cold. No real coffee at breakfast, just awful nescafe sachets. No channel 7 on our tv. Was told well everyone else seems to have it so can't help. No offer to check it out. Sliding door sticks and noisy. Grounds and pool were nice. Has potential
