Cairns Colonial Club Resort

I wanted to stay for one night after reading the good reviews. It really is perfect for families or those on a budget- with a car. I was a solo traveller but knew it was a bit far from the main centre. The staff were very welcoming. I used the pool with a pool bar which was be beautiful. My room was spotless and smelt lovely. I had dinner there which was very nice and enjoyed my cocktail. I had a very enjoyable stay there.

We stayed in a basic resort room. The bathroom was refurbished, so it looks better than photos. Functional room with plenty of drawers and space to put your belongings. Beds were fine. There is only a sheet, no doona. But there is a spare blanket in the wardrobe. Lots of downlights in the room. There was no microwave in the room, but there is a common room near reception with a microwave. Guest laundry works great. There are 2 of them, so you're likely to find a free machine. Plenty of unallocated parking spaces at the entrance and back of the resort. Very family friendly resort. A kids movie was played at the main pool every night. Even though there are about 500 rooms, the complex didn't feel too crowded. There's mini golf and peddle karts open Fri-Sun.

We absolutely love it here as there’s so much to do, you don’t even need to leave the resort if you don’t want to! The pizza pasta restaurant is amazing and the pools kept our kids occupied for days. I loved that each night movies were put on the big screen for the little ones.

We loved the pools and the landscaping is so lovely, lots of birds and the bats come out of an evening which is nice to watch. The room facilities were pretty good, and it was handy having two restaurants on site.

I wasn’t happy with the first room we got, the maintenance guy said it was next on the list for Reno’s- it really needed to be renovated it was awful, I went and talked to reception who were more than happy and accommodating to change our room, we got put in a renovated room and it was stunning! Couldn’t fault it at all! Karen at reception was so nice and professional. All of the staff were very friendly which you don’t see too often anymore! Bar, pool and all the facilities were awesome. Kids loved it. It’s now our new yearly extended family holiday location. I will be recommending to everyone!
