Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Cairns Colonial Club Resort is frequently praised for its spacious and clean rooms, and the multiple pools that are a hit with families. The resort is conveniently located close to the airport, offering plentiful free parking, although its location a bit outside of the city center means you'll need transportation to get to activities or dining. Guests appreciate having an onsite restaurant and bar for meals and drinks, and some have particularly enjoyed the poolside movies.

The resort had multiple pools. I liked that towels were available there. The food was good. I found the beds comfortable. Staff called taxis very fast. Restaurants were in the same place. This was very convenient. I enjoyed the guest lounge. It was great for pre and post check in and out. The cafe had very convenient prices. The food at the cafe tasted great too.

poor wi-fiuncomfortable mattress
The Wi-Fi hardly worked. It was annoying. My room was upstairs, and there was no lift available, so I struggled with my luggage. The mattress was so uncomfortable and worn. I had to sleep on the floor the first night. The room looked old and tired. I expected more after seeing the photos online.
