Arrived a bit early but still got a room. It was low season and there was quite some construction, renovation going on around the hotel and withing the hotel. We had no hot water until late afternoon but they warned us at check-in. Simple rooms but clean and comfortable for a stop over. It overlooks a bit of the ocean... More

This was our second choice of accommodation in Airlie, as I was put off by the reviews. Well, I think that the Colonial Palms is on the up. Bernie gave us such a warm welcome, and I have every faith in his (at the time) new management of the hotel. After 2 nights camping on Whitehaven, we were especially grateful... More

We stayed here for one night before a sailing trip in the whitsundays. We arrived late but they offered to open the kitchen for us which was nice. It is located a short walk from the main road where all the shops and restaurants are. Wifi is free. We asked for a renovated room and got one (a one bedroom... More

We arrived in Airlie Beach and we were planning to stay at Club Crocodile but it was deserted and locked up. We phoned Best Western and Bernie the owner was so helpful, we went straight over there to check in. Our room had just been renovated and it was lovely, the beds and pillows were so comfy, so clean with... More

Very good hotel and accomodation. Brilliant rooms and restaurant. A perfect location to go sailing on the Whitsundays and if you want a good and peacefull stay. Very kind and personal owners! More

We've done a lot of traveling & stayed in many hotels, apartments & motels. But we have never experienced the friendly and most helpful reception offered by The manager, John. He must have shown us four separate apartments before we accepted. Lovely ironed sheets on queen bed, sparkling bathroom, breakfast buffet, lovely view, nice & quiet. What else do you... More

The Colonial Palms was a perfect place stay in Airlie Beach. It is in a very quiet location, but still close enough (8-10 minute walk) into town and the beach. The manager at the time, Colleen, was such a great asset to this hotel - she couldn't do enough for us. She even drove us to a large grocery store... More

When visiting Airlie beach my assuption is that you will not need to spend a lot of time in your hotel as it really is a small seaside town gpthriving on the reef tourism. Therefore this hotel met the basic requirements for a few days out on the ocean: clean, helpful staff, walking distance from the main dining/nightlife road and... More

My girlfriend and i stayed here for 2 nights over the 2011 christmas period. As we were backpacking around Oz, we treated ourselves to an upgrade for christmas and the hotel did not let us down. Customer service was first class, really fanstatic. From helping us pick our day trips to storing luggage we could not have asked for anymore... More
