Ripper location! Could see the ocean from a pool view room :) Lovely staff!

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 location is spectacular and for a small island there is quite a lot to do with your time. The staff were very friendly & super helpful. The pool was lovely & the restaurant served very good food with a view to die for. We only had a small room but it was adequate for our stay, if I went again I would pay for a room with a view as it's so beautiful. Fitzroy Island is well worth the visit.
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.
Everything about this resort and location is stunning. Once you check in, you will have plenty of activities to do and you'll never get bored of this island. We did our first scuba diving from here and it was so stunning. Highly recommend!
Fitzroy Island resort is basically paradise. The room is clean and comfortable, the resort has good facilities and plenty of staff on hand. I had cause to be helped by the staff on multiple occasions and they handled my issues very well.
The hotel room was clean and tvs upgraded to include netflix. Tom, the kiwi staff member was great, very helpful.
Staff and running of transfer boat ..fitzroy flyer ..were very good on both journeys
Breakfast at Zephrs was great.
The room was just your average room in a hotel so it was nice and clean. Food for breakfast was also your average for a meal, dinner was probably the best one the meals we had while we were staying in the island.
The location and food was great, and it was good to have a couple of options for dinner and drinks.
Would highly recommend a day trip to Fitzroy Island but I wouldn’t recommend staying at the resort.
Fitzroy Island is beautiful, the staff were very friendly and the food at the resort and Foxy’s Bar was fabulous. You could also take your own food (we had self catering bungalow).
The location, views, friendly staff. Restaurant staff Fernanda, the reception staff Kylan and Ariel and the turtle centre staff Taylor were really lovely.
I hated the original room I booked…probably the cheapest …?? Musty and dark. Fortunately we were able to upgrade, expensive but made our stay worthwhile
