I had a good night relatively if you ignore the fact my room felt like a downgrade from what was booked and it took forever to check in when it was almost midnight. My issue was the following day/night my partner was accused of being someone else and then while we tried to catch up on sleep during the day were harassed by housekeeping as if to check he wasn’t in the room as he felt so uncomfortable he never came to check in with me and my friend joined me instead as I didn’t feel that safe staying in the property alone.

The property seems that at one time was gorgeous, but as time has gone by they haven't kept up with it. So now in 2025 looks super old and dirty. We had roaches inside our room, fungus inside the shower tiles, Wi-Fi didn't work, the staff was good.

I’ve stayed at this property twice now on layovers so short stays. The property its self is beautiful, it has several pools and areas for children to enjoy. The food is good and well priced. The main pool is a lot of fun with the slide and heaps of space for all of the families without feeling crowded. We stayed in two separate of the resort rooms. The rooms themselves are good, a little dated and need some TLC. A lot of vending machines around to get snacks and reception is always happy to help. The one thing that caught me a little off guard for a family resort is all the door locks and deadbolts are in reach of a 1 year old witch made me feel anxious if I was in the bathroom as my child could just open the door and get out.

The Colonial Club is a beautiful property with lush gardens and gorgeous pools. The rooms are a little bit outdated and the bathroom in my room was in need of a good scrub. One gripe is that WiFi doesn’t really reach the guest rooms and the front desk was unable to fix it satisfactorily. When the router was reset, it would work for a few minutes then stall. There is good 5G if you have cell service but it’s annoying to not have wifi.

I have stayed here a few times over the years due to it's handy proximity to Cairns airport. Even though the property is a bit tired and in need of a lick of paint, the amazingly professional, friendly and efficient staff more than make up for that. I always feel safe there as a woman travelling alone, and the cafe is always busy with excellent drinks and food.
