Hotel in Airlie Beach

Airlie Beach is your gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday Islands - and Colonial Palms Motor Inn is your gateway to Airlie Beach. Overlooking the waters of Boathaven Bay, we're just 0.6 mi from the heart of Airlie Beach - close enough to walk to the marina, the restaurants and the water's edge, but tucked away enough to actually switch off when you get back. Spend your days exploring the Whitsundays and Great Barrier Reef, then return to two lagoon pools, an outdoor spa, and an on-site restaurant and bar with sweeping bay views. End the day with happy hour on the deck, watching the sun go down over Boathaven Bay. Every room looks out over the tropical gardens, pool, or the calm waters of Boathaven Bay - so the holiday feeling starts the moment you arrive. Hamilton Island Airport is less than 22 mi away. Mackay is a 90-minute drive. And everything in Airlie Beach is a short stroll from your door. Check-in from 3pm. Two lagoon pools. A restaurant and bar steps from your room. Breakfast, then the reef. That's the Colonial Palms experience.

Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Had promise.
Negative: 80s feel about it, tiled floor looked grubby, overdue for a revamp. Rainwater overflow leaking from rusted-out gutter drops onto the tin-roofed car shelter 3m below, making a hell if a racket. Not peaceful at all.
Summary: Meh - nothing special.
