The hotel is in a wonderful location and offers great views. The accommodations are very basic and require updating. Some investment is required to bring the property back to its former glory. Staff was friendly and helpful.

The Colony Hotel definitely has an unbeatable location and some of the best views you could ask for — that part was truly impressive. Unfortunately, the rooms themselves were a big letdown. They felt very outdated, noisy, and not at all convenient. You can hear every step and conversation from upstairs, which made it hard to relax or get a good night’s sleep. For such a prime location, I really wish the accommodations matched the setting.

pool lounge beds were very uncomfortable.

Everything was excellent except one critical thing. The pool lounge chairs/beds have a metal bar that puts pressure on your lower spine and is painful after 15 min. Very uncomfortable and unforgetable.

The property is great the table lamps by bed did not work and there were no plugs by the beds. There is no air conditioning in the rooms just 2 fans but as long as it’s not over 82 degrees you are fine. The room we stayed in was near the outdoor lighting so you had to pull down your shades fully which also hampered airflow into the room. All in all it was a lovely hotel the staff was wonderful the ground are lovely and we will come back again to stay here. As a bonus despite us not having dogs, Dogs are welcome for an extra charge. The breakfast(buffet) is lovely and views eating are great and staff everywhere is so accommodating and friendly.
