Fitzroy Island Resort

Clean room. Beautiful. Great staff

Staff were really lovely, especially in the restaurant. The room was clean but is in need of a revamp. Breakfast was great a really good selection. The scenery is fantastic.

Room was okay,nothing to really write about, view was of another building, even though when advertising the room on a special discount it didn't mention that it had no view and photos were of the resort pool view and ocean view, the fact that it only told you about the "No view was on the receipt after you had paid in very small writing. So kind of false advertising . Staff only give you minimal opinions when requested and seem a bit careless. Also be aware that if the weather is no perfect, too windy about 30kmph you can't go on the kayaks. Hiking around the trails can be done in one day and be aware that you can't hike to the Fitzroy reef or the smaller beach on the eastern side of the island. Not many activities for pleasure and be aware that food is way over priced, bring as much food as possible if you're staying for more than 2 nights. Personally I would not be heading back there ever again. Beautiful scenery and thats about it.

Beautiful place, the food was not that expensive and they even have a small store in case you need to buy something. There are a place to rent snorkeling gear which it’s totally worth it cause the corals and the fish at the beach are amazing, you can even swim with turtles

Fitzroy resort has been around for a long time and it is showing. The island is stunning and the staff are lovely, but there is wear and tear that has not been fixed for years. The pool has damaged tiles I've seen since before Covid, and a lot of the furniture is stained. Our island suite had a great view, but the sofa bed was stained and smelly when we pulled it out to stretch and relax to watch TV. I have previously had great food at Zephyr, but the lunch on Friday had pork so tough it was inedible, and prawns ruined by overcooking. I became suddenly ill that evening as well, which felt like food poisoning, but not confirmed. Breakfast was OK. All in all the whole experience is about the gorgeous views, but for what the resort charges I think customers deserve better.

Lovely accomodation surrounded by beautiful nature. Fantastic snorkelling, wildlife and nature walks. While food options (2 venues) were limited, the range of food offering was good!

The room was distinctly mouldy, smelling like old wet timber. Ceiling fans have not been cleaned for a long time, swim up pool bar and another part of the property upstairs were under repair. Wifi not reliable.

We loved our four days at the Fitzroy Island resort . It’s clean and semi modern enough to feel a little pampered but relaxed enough to walk around in bathers and wetsuits with snorkels on top of your head . We went in July and the pool was too cold to use unfortunately, as it looked great . We snorkelled two or three hours a day and saw Turtles, reef fish , a Lion fish , Nemo , Stingrays . Reef sharks , even a bait ball ! Differently relaxing and easy . The walk up to the summit was a great achievement at least 1000 steep rock steps up, and I mean straight up from the resort , much longer and harder than expected. Rather good burn on the thighs . Differently Fitzroy is a great place to stay , easy of the beach snorkeling , and the Foxy Cafe had reasonably priced food , I recommend the Calamari, very good !!

Loved the staff!!! They went above and beyond to make the stay enjoyable!! Especially the dive staff.

The resort was okay. There was a weird smell when you had a shower and inside the room, didn’t help that there wasn’t a fan inside the bathroom. Shower pressure was not great and bathroom and room was very small especially for two people staying with big suitcases. Overall the room was fine to stay in.

Poor breakfast options, not many welcoming staff, dated hotel and rooms with leaking shower, no cleaning service, no clean towels provided, empty shop, expensive to hire everything, dirty and rocky beach

The hotel is in a fantastic location and has a lot of potential, but it needs significant investment and attention before we would return. The rooms are a good size, but the facilities are very limited, with many empty or underused spaces and it felt soulless because of that. The pool table my children hoped to use was broken, and there was little else for them to do after it got dark. Food was also a major issue. The main restaurant was expensive and disappointing, while the casual option was mostly pub food, which we did not want to eat every day for a week. Although the rooms had kitchens, this was not clearly advertised for communicated, and the general store stocked little beyond ice creams, chips and sweets. We ended up taking the boat to Cairns to buy groceries, which was inconvenient and could have been avoided with better information beforehand. The staff were friendly, but there seemed to be very few of them, and the hotel appeared to rely heavily on temporary backpacker staff. As a result, it did not feel like a professionally managed hospitality operation. It could be a wonderful place, but at the moment it falls well short of its potential.

Room was poorly stocked no milk in room on arrival and unable to get milk for tea and coffee until morning staff arrived after 9 am. Very basic tea and coffee. Evening and day staff very helpful but as there wasn’t a phone in room you had to go to reception for everything. Didn’t bother with breakfast. National parks were very good. Will just do a day trip next time unless with family.

Wow great island and resort, wish we had stayed more than one night

Absolutely beautiful location. Staff were friendly and helpful, but there were hardly any around (maybe because it was low season). Check in took far too long, predictable as every time a boat arrives it overwhelmed the 1-2 staff max on the desk. The resort looks a bit cyclone battered - many rusted fixtures and some exterior repairs needed

The decorative pillows need to be washed, as do the white bedding sheets, i found a couple stains in mine, but other than that, the staff were friendly and we had a really great stay, we definetly wanna come back again sometime this year.

The property is very dated and could do with some repairs. We were supposed to have a dryer but it had been pulled off the wall at same stage, one of the drawers in the kitchen was missing a handle, the furniture was very dated, only one bedside table in the bedroom and it had terrible stains and damage and the bathroom really needed a proper deep clean - hust because it has stone tiles doesnt mean they dont need scrubbing. Such a shame as the rooms themselves (if you spring close to $500 for a bay view room as we did) were very large and with a beautiful view of the bay. On a side note, it says you cannot bring alcohol onto the island and can purchase from the bottle shop, there isn't a bottle shop, you can purchase from the bar but you pay the same prices as though you'd dined in. As long as you're discreet, there wouldn't be any issue with bringing a couple of six packs or bottles of wine. We also wish we'd brought some of our own food as we did have an oven, hot plates and full sized fridge.

Make sure to request a room on top floor as floors are wooden and extremely noisy from the people above. Sounded like a family of elephants stomping around and moving furniture all evening it was super annoying. Foxys was nice for casual meals, restaurant was expensive. Great view from room so close to the shore. No frypan in kitchen

Comfy beds, room clean, staff friendly, but there was no exhaust fan in a place with over 90% humidity and where people are doing water activities all day. Nothing dried including the floors!

Room was way better that expected. Staff are very helpful. Beach view was great.
