The restaurant flamingo was over priced food wasn’t that appealing, some of the staff were rude. It’s so disappointing because it’s a beautiful resort with all the greenery and lush gardens.

Basic room had been renovated but carpet always feels grubby in the tropics The small minimart has been closed The tour desk has been replaced by a qr code on the bed head The main restaurant has been closed so it’s mainly burgers and pizzas The courtesy bus to town is long gone and there’s not much in walking distance and not great to be walking around at night Non smoking rooms and bar area but everywhere are smoking and vaping Just sad

Decent value for money. They could do a few things to make the experience a bit better such as replacing the rusting fridges, providing bigger coffee mugs, topping up clean tea towels and ensuring clothes racks are in rooms. We stayed for 7 nights so this was important but might get away with it for shorter stays

Family-Friendly Resort with Room for Improvement

We stayed at Cairns Colonial Club Resort for four nights. While the check-in was smooth, parking was easy, and the pools were great for the kids, the housekeeping was disappointing—only one of our two rooms was cleaned, and towels weren’t changed despite following the resort's instructions. Although we appreciated being allowed to use the resort facilities after checkout, overall, we expected much better service for a family stay.

Great place to stay. Clean and tidy if you don’t look too hard. Close to most things. Only thing I would suggest is the menu at the cafe could have a bit more variety and when keeping the bar open at night you serve coffee as well for those that like to have a coffee at night as the coffee is good.over all i would recommend and personally i would stay there again.

Was OK

The staff were generally Ok. while it would have been better not to have paid a reasonable ransom compared to what I was presented. the room Was what I expected for the price. Face cloths were not included in the linen. It is very family friendly, and has plenty of parking.
