Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Cairns Colonial Club Resort from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Cairns Colonial Club Resort is often described as having a tropical island vibe, despite being conveniently located in Cairns, about 10 minutes by car from the city center and also not far from the airport. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms and modern bathrooms, especially those overlooking the lagoon pool and tropical vegetation. The on-site restaurant and happy hour at the bar are frequently mentioned as positives, although some guests have noted that the food is expensive. The large lagoon pool, sometimes featuring movies for kids, appears to be a popular amenity.

a mixed bag

unmarked lines road potholes
the grounds were quite lush.
Parking really wasn't good. There weren't marked lines, so people just parked any old way. this meant fewer cars could fit in the area.. there were also a lot of potholes along the road. It reminded me of navigating an obstacle course. plus, my room only had sheets. I felt a bit cold during the night.

Wonderful stay

picturesque hotel amazing pool clean room
I enjoyed the picturesque hotel a LOT. The pool was amazing. The rooms and facilities were kept clean. The entire hotel felt huge, offering plenty of space to explore and relax.
The hotel location requires a car to get around easily. Uber or taxi services are useful, but personal transport would be more convenient.

limited restaurant opening hours poor pathway lighting
The pool area was very popular. It was often difficult finding available sun loungers. The opening hours for the on-site restaurant felt limited. This. I did find that some of the pathways around the grounds could use better lighting at night. It made navigating the resort at night a little difficult.
