It’s a short walk to the main part if Airlie. Swim towels in the room would be good, to save the hassle of going to reception to collect them.

Nice location and clean rooms, but the pool area needs to be updated and the lounge chairs need to be replaced as most of them are broken.

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.
