Fitzroy is a very small island that is a day trip for most people. An overnight stay is an opportunity to experience the island and resort after the day trippers have departed, but two nights will exhaust the available restaurant options and three nights would be too many. Note that although the apartments have fully fitted kitchens, the only store on the island stocks NO food items. Smh. Note also that the few walks available will only suit the very fit and able bodied. A big shout-out to Ali who provides kayaks and SUP from the beachfront. These and the glass bottom boat are recommended.

Bring your own snorkelling gear as hiring it for 3 days is equal to buying it. Food is expensive and the general store is really limited. Bring your own cereal/breakfast to help reduce costs.
Staff are fantastic.
If you have young kids, bring beach shoes as the the sand is very rough and mostly broken coral.
The gym is for staff only, which is strange.
Things to do are limited if its raining, bring cards or games to play.

I loved the beaches, loved being able to swim in safe areas and snorkel along over corals and turtles! Nature walks, Foxy's bar vibe, enchanting resort restaurant, great resort swimming pool, and last but not least, always lovely, helpful staff everywhere! Just the place to chill out!! Must take a pair of thongs/flip-flops.

the best part was the pristine water, Roxy Bar, the Summit hike and Lighthouse hike. Water is beautiful, however potential for box jelly-fish and irukandji stings, which can be fatal. Stinger suits are recommended during season. Pool was okay, although not very deep. Games room is okay but couldn't get coin change as wasn't working. Getting some cash from ATM failed one night due to wi-fi dropout. Most things to buy will cost you 3 times mainland cost for similar product. No dancing allowed currently. Try to get a balcony room - top floor best - or a beach bungalow. Not a great deal to do after nine pm. No cable, small TV. Nice though for quite nights on the beach. Take your own food, wine etc, unless money not an issue.

A fantastic location with excellent snorkeling on the great barrier reef right off the beach. Resort facilities are excellent and for us it was the fulfillment of a dream to visit the great barrier reef.

Excellent place for a holiday.
Excellent place for a holiday. Suites all ages with the activities available. We seen 6 black tips feeding on a school of fish which was amazing. The turtle rehabilitations centre was very informative. The pool and facilities were awesome. We would have loved a bit more variety with food. Found it very average.
The island was absolutely magical! The snorkelling was fantastic and great for kids, don’t miss the fish feeding at 11:30am and 3pm on the pier great for the kids!
Lovely walk over to Nudey beach once again great for kids and bring your snorkels there too. We’ve been here to Fitzroy Island for a day trip and now stayed over for two nights this trip. I’d say a full day visit is enough unless you choose to do the longer walks.
Highly recommend Fitzroy Island Resort. It was a great experience with snorkling, swimming and boat tours right at your door step. There are some lovely walks/hikes on the island too. Staff were great, including Jeff and co in the Tour Office who helped us organise all our boat trips and snorkling gear during our stay on the island. Food was great in the restaurant and in Foxy's Bar too.
Fitzroy Island is a fabulous destination for a couple of nights. So easy and beautiful- only one hour from Cairns. It is very picturesque and relaxing. The welcome bay suite was perfect for us - comfortable, breezy, clean, lovely filtered views to beach and private. The restaurant food was good and the views at sunset were sublime. We loved our stay there.
Beautiful island! Definitely worth it. The snorkeling is spectacular, beaches are gorgeous and the hotel bar (open for all public) is right next to the beach and serves great cocktails, beer and food. The sunset from Nudey beach was one of the nicest I've seen in my life. We were very happy that we didn't pay attention to bad reviews and decided to go.
Fitzroy Island is one of the most precious places on Earth, with stunning reef snorkelling and beautiful rainforest walks. The resort, although a little weathered, was a great base for our family to explore the island for a week. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we had all that we needed. Would go back in a heartbeat.
the location of the hotel, right on the beach; the staff was extremely nice and courteous; the room was clean and in the morning we could see nature awakening. The food was very good; the selection is a bit small. all in all, highly recommended for 2-3 days.
We love Fitzroy Island but we would not stop in the back rooms again they were too dark and it was nowhere to sit in the daytime the beds were too hard and they really need to put some toppers on the mattresses
Even if hotel room was lower than average, I will still recommend everyone to come to Fitzroy island and stay for at least 1 night , because the island , nature , sunset - all is just amazing..
we stayed in a bungalow, we loved being away from main resort and direct access to beach. it was sufficient size for us, family of 5. had basic cooking. small fridge and bbq on balcony.
The location, views, friendly staff. Restaurant staff Fernanda, the reception staff Kylan and Ariel and the turtle centre staff Taylor were really lovely.
