We stayed at Colonial Palms for 3 nights. We were extremely unhappy with our experience. We felt disgusted when we walked in to the room. Cleanliness standard was so low. The bathroom towels had yellow stains all over it. We didn’t use them throughout our stay! Toilet had black stains in it and smelled like vinegar. There were three dead insects in our room when we arrived. I communicated all these issues with the front desk but the lady had an attitude kept rolling her eyes at me the whole time. I showed her the stains and dead insects and she rudely told me “you are in nature”! She said black stain is because of the area’s water. I did not see the black stain anywhere else in toilets in Arlie beach! Nothing about our stay was pleasant other than spending time outside of the hotel on the tours! We regret booking this hotel and recommend to everyone to pay a bit more and stay somewhere else.

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.

The Inn is of an older style, open, airy and designed well to take advantage of the tropical sun and cool sea breeze. It is situated an easy walking distance from the busy area of town so a nice quiet place to retreat. Right on the public transport bus route from Shute Harbour to Proserpine, well priced rooms with views and friendly relaxed staff, I would recommend it to anyone planning a visit to Airlie Beach.

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
