The bar and the front desk staff were terrible! The restaurant and Snorkel staff were great! The room was ok, not worth the price.
Deanna, 1-night trip

Really enjoyed the over night stay in the island. The cleanness and spacious of the room is far exceed our expectations. The easy access to the beach is just exceptional. Wish we could stay one more night.
Qiqi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Absolutely beautiful resort in a great location with friendly staff. I especially enjoyed the pool and swim up bar! Great dining options available and very clean rooms. Plenty of activities such as kayaking and the glass bottom boat tour to keep you occupied.

Loved the remote location, that it is just a resort on an island with lots to do and also ample time to relax. Loved the cocktail list,especially the tropical mojitos.

Julienne, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Kathy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The sea and nature around the island is beautiful. The resort was child friendly. We had an excellent time.
Luke, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

The island is amazing for a few days away. A little makeover of the rooms and some comfortable bedding would make Fitzroy Island Resort a must do destination. Staff are brilliant.
Peter, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location was amazing, snorkelling the reef, hiking the tracks and relaxing in the sun. The staff were amazing !
Angela C, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Staff was great. Beautiful location. Great amenities. Did find that hotel services lacked. Room not cleaned properly. Only received milk for tea twice. Lucky brought over some long life milk of our own. Complaints not taken seriously. Especially for our long stay.

Fitzroy -a Reef gem

Fitzroy is a lasting gem of the Barrier Reef, close to Cairns, easy to get to and the fish, coral and colours do not disappoint.

Best time I had in a very long time. Relax a lot time spent in the water and and hiking. Some people said 2 days is enough. I stay almost a week and was uncreadible
Ignacio, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good snorkelling, nice food in both restaurants, disappointing snorkel tours, bathrooms need upgrading, need a proper shop for snacks and incidentals. Overall a good experience but average value.
Mark, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

The resort is in general in a very poor state. While there seems to have been a soft refurb of some rooms and the Zephyr restaurant, I’m glad I only stayed one night. This must have been a beautiful property in its day but appears to have been left to neglect. No one seems in charge. The staff are lovely & the setting is spectacular, with a great pool. Didn’t feel clean at all. It screamed backpacker. It wasn’t that bad but I had to get my backpacker mindset on to enjoy.
Donna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The property needs some room upgrade, cleaning and maintenance. But the island is stunning and the staff is very friendly and attentive.
