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.

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.

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.
