We had an amazing time at the Fitzroy Island Resort! At every point - from the reception desk, to the wait staff, to the activities personnel, the staff was kind and helpful. The location itself could not be more beautiful. I'd highly recommend staying here.

It's a lovely island with snorkelling right off the beach and some enjoyable walks and views. The cheaper eating place (Foxy's) still has high quality food and the staff are amazing there and at the resort. The expensive restaurant (Zephyrs) has a minimum spend of $60 per person which seems a shame as it is in a lovely and convenient position but isn't so popular.

The resort has everything you need without feeling too much like a resort. Dinner at foxys and zephyr were great and staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent for a short break from cairns. Snorkelling from the beach was a highlight. Recommend bringing some food over for a picnic though

Great stay for a couple of days, accommodation needs some updating (parts of the room were falling apart ie. broken tiles, sharp grout and dripping aircon). Some staff were amazing and some were very abrupt and unhelpful. The guided kayak tour was great, Sara was super lovely and just a really relaxing way to hang out on the way. Pool area is small and limited seating but drinks at the pool were great. Foxy’s has ok food but prices are pretty high, live music on a Saturday night is a good vibe. Overall a good short stay if you’re looking to just relax, snorkel and get away from winter.

This place is a very casual, family friendly place to stay and explore, staff are very welcoming and love teaching the kids about the reef, And the surrounds, excellent hike up to the summit of the island, "7 and 10 year old got up" albeit, pack some water. Had a great stay and explored the island over 3 days and loved the experience.... Definitely coming back!

The experience was fine - definitely not the most hospitable experience, but it had the basics. I suppose the accommodation was inexpensive so you’re paying for what you’re getting. The island itself is beautiful and is worth visiting, especially to swim, snorkel, and hike.

Nudey Beach was great. Everything else not so much. 3pm check in, boat got in at 2:30. Room wasn’t available until 4pm. When we arrived to our room it was still dirty. Tried to push free drink cards to make up for the mess. The beds- terribly uncomfortable. The grounds around the resort smelled like sewage. Thought we would splurge and book a nice stay after staying in hostels. I’d take the hostel over this resort. The beach was great but you could do it all in a day without having to stay at this “resort.”
