Pleasant and reliable”

we have stayed at the colonial club many times and it is always great value and a pleasant stay. if we can we get the breakfast deal which has plenty of choice. it is very close the the cairns recreational centre so if you have children who like roller skating they can just walk over. my only complaint is that sometimes they are very busy and we have no choice of rooms, so that whilst there are designated smoking areas we have on a couple of occasions been stuck in a room upstairs or near someone smoking outside their door and have had to close the windows and put on the aircon, although the smell still seeps through. this has only really been a major problem once though. the other drawback to their popularity is sometimes there are a few rowdy guests e.g. when football teams come to stay. but overall, one of our favourite places to stay in cairns.

Beautiful resort gardens and very spacious hotel”

We enjoyed our stay at ibis Styles Cairns Colonial Club very much as it was close to the botanical gardens and access to city centre was easy. Very spacious resort with beautifully maintained gardens. The classic room was rather run down and you could notice the age of the hotel in terms of furniture and pools however for the price that we paid it was comfortable and afordable.

Family friendly Resort”

Everything about the Cairns Colonial Resort is great. Comfortable, clean rooms. Staff were friendly. Pools were amazing. Eateries were lovely. Great playground area for kids and lovely gardens. Very reasonably priced, wished we were able to have stayed longer.

Very pleasant stay”

Stayed at Colonial Resort for 4 very pleasant nights. Rooms were recently refurbished, clean and big comfortable 2 x queen beds. Location a little further away from shops and restaurants but everything in Cairns is only 5-10 minute drive so this was not an issue. The only negative was the buffet breakfast was below average. Would like to see more varieties and better quality food especially if staying for longer period.

Well organised resort”

We enjoyed our stay at the Cairns Colonial Club Resort. Our room was right nect to the laundary and there were a little bit of smell coming out of the drainage which we had to leave the windows open during our stay.

helpful staff with a nice pool, good value”

We chose this hotel as it came with good reviews and was very reasonably priced. We were stopping over in Cairns on route to Japan and arrived into Cairns at 4am. We called the hotel to see if we could drop off some bags to bide some time and the conceirge arranged the hotel bus to pick us up which was $10pp. When we arrived at the hotel the concierge advised us that he had arranged another room for us and checked us in right away. This was such a bonus for us as we had barely slept and meant we could have a nap before exploring Cairns. Rooms are comfy, the hotel is a little dated but well maintained and the pools are nice. pool bar food was pretty good and reasonably priced, breakfast in the hotel was pretty average but there is not much else around unless you head into town. The hotel is a bit out of it but there is a shuttle running to and from town for $4pp. It was also close to the botanical gardens. (10 min walk) All in all this hotel was great for us but if you want to be amongst the action id consider something closer to town

Return to Colonial”

Very enjoyable. As I had not been to Cairns at all I found it a very pleasant holiday and if I ever get the chance to holiday in Cairns again I most certainly would have "the Colonial" at the top of the list. We also attended a Wedding Reception on the premises and that certainly added to our enjoyment. A great night. Food and Staff great.

Clean rooms, very nice pools, yummy food.”

Stayed two nights at Cairns Colonial will definitely be coming back. The grounds are very well maintained looks newly renovated pool side area kids area and flamingo restaurant . Had done food by the pool very nice and they were very reasonable prices.

Nice place to stay, if you want to stay close to the attractions near the Cairns”

Nice place to stay, if you want to stay close to the attractions near the Cairns. Cairns Esplanade, Jetty (to great barrier reef, island hopping etc), Skyrail, freshwater Station and number of other attraction are within short drive from this location. Resort have 463 room, 3 swimming pools, kids play area and two restaurants within. Though the rooms are not very big and luxurious, it will easily fit 2 adults and 2 kids and keep them happy (especially if you are on a budget and regularly travel in and out). Friendly staff throughout the resort and they are happy to server your needs, including arranging your day trips, providing recommendations and arranging your Taxi.

A taste of paradise with great atmosphere”

lovely place outside main centre of cairns where you can relax in beautiful surroundings. rooms nice and continue the colonial theme. all food good. staff on reception very helpful with suggestions for trips, cheapest way to town etc.excellent value for price paid

We will return! ”

Last minute decision to book in. Staff were very accomodating and provided suitable room. The room was lovely! Pros: service, large resort with several pools, value for money, beautiful deck with ample food and drink options, quiet, easy parking and pool open till 10pm Cons: resort so big I kept getting lost looking for my room, fair distance from hub of Cairns ( we had car so no issue )

A nice stay in Cairns.”

Needed a couple of nights in Cairns as floods had closed roads. Found this via Agoda and they provided a great price for a room. The facilities are excellent and the staff helpful, everything worked in the room and the bed was comfortable. The resort is away from the CBD, was relatively empty owing to the virus restrictions and rains causing flooding which made for a peaceful stay. Children would love the pools, there are several.

great deal but a bit out of the way.”

stay was pleasant but with no Wifi in the rooms and a fee to use it seems a little out dated but also the norm in Cairns. The location is not in the center of town as other comments read it is about a $15 cab ride to center of town. Seemed to have nice services for families but as younger people looking for a cheap place to party I would suggest another hotel. Great staff and tours to sign up for and explore Cairns.

Huge resort set amongst a tropical rainforest”

We loved Cairns and our hotel. Lots of amenities on site including a tour desk; restaurant; and alfresco bar/dining. This is a relaxed place with paths that meander through a planted and well maintained rainforest. Our room was comfortable and the air-conditioning worked well for us who had come from the south! We had enough facilities in our room to cook for ourselves when we wanted to. There was a pool close to our room which was never over crowded so we were able to swim whilst soaking up the peace and tranquility. Overall, the resort needs a bit of a spruce up of its buildings on the outside but there has been atempts to upgrade the rooms with plasma tellies and new blinds. This would be a great place to stay with children as there is so much on site o do. For our conference, this was the perfect place to hold the event. Staff are friendly and accommodating and I am thankful to the front desk staff who helped me sort out a problem when I was very upset.

A nice surprise”

I spent a week at the Colonial Club with a family member. We found the resort to be everything we’d hoped, with very friendly, helpful staff, comfortable rooms, a good buffet breakfast, lovely lagoon pool (plus two more pools), and a relaxed poolside bar/cafe with great food. All in all, good value for money and definitely recommended.

Great hotel with brilliant facilities”

Great hotel, exceptionally clean. Poolside bar was the only evening food option open the 3 nights we were there, but the food was excellent quality and value. Breakfast good and worth getting. Pool lovely. Rooms well equipped, USB charging points in the room a nice touch Slightly outside Cairns town but close enough and runs a shuttle bus

Loving Life”

I do love staying at Cairns Colonial Resort Club New rooms Beautiful grounds Great food

Lovely relaxed ambience..but a little remote”

We actually stayed in a studio room... the hotel arranged to move us across because of our space needs. They were helpful and friendly, and made us feel at home. The three free-form, landscaped pools (2 quite large) at the resort was a plus. The buffet breakfasts were great(we just had the 'continental' -- not cooked -- option, but plenty of variety of fruit/cereal/pastries). We did find it a bit remote from getting around in Cairns -- about a 50 min walk to the city centre, and transfer costs were prohibitive for a family of 5... tours pick up from the hotel, tho; and hiring a car for one day solved our transport issues.

Great resort for the price”

I really liked this resort. The bed was comfortable and the staff were lovely. It was a little bit out of Cairns, but they have a shuttle bus. We were on a tight budget though, so we took the public bus a couple of streets away which we found convenient enough (it goes to the Cairns Marina). We ate at the restaurant and had the all you can eat salad/soup/dessert bar. The desserts were surprisingly good for a buffet!

excellent service and comportable stay”

with a short notice i booked the accomadation expecting 'fully booked but my booking was approved and i enjoyed the night with a comportable room and bed especially if you had long meeting in brisbane and travelling home to torres strait you really need a good overnight accomadation to stay . i am a regular customer to colonial club . thanks AGODA for speedy service in getting me a bed at a short notice .
