Lovely island stay for a couple of days. Rooms are damp and cannot dry towels and clothing. Very dark rooms, reasonable size. Good base for snorkelling and some good walks to summit and lighthouse. Restaurant food was good enjoyable stay overall.

This is the second year in a row my wife and I have been to Fitzroy Island for a winter getaway. We loved it last year and again this. The island is very relaxed, great snorkelling, Foxy’s bar great for food and drinks and the staff are ever so friendly. Well done Fitzroy we’ll see you again next year!!

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!

Staff were incredible as always :) Resort is run down. Fridge was rusty & very loud. But I know what I’m getting & still love it!

There was no phone in our room, they only gave you the option of contacting the staff by Whatsapp. The cost of the accommodation did not include wifi and we couldn't get reception on our mobiles. So it was really annoying that we had to go out to reception and wait in line in order to ask a question about our room. We found a used cotton bud on the floor, it was quite disgusting. The website advertised and showed photos of a swim up bar that was open from 12-4pm. It was never opened and there was no explanation as to why it was not closed the whole time we were there and we were there for a few days. Overall, the accommodation was great due to the location and beautiful views but the operation was ok.

Island was great . Staff were excellent . Our beachfront cabin had a problem with a shower door that was so badly hung that it was a squeeze to get into and out of. We reported the issue but nothing could be done for our stay ….the solution being to dismantle and renovate the shower . Staff said they would remove the cabin from letting until the shower was fixed .

Stayed for 4 nights in late May. Weather was great, warm, sunny. Views and hikes lovely. Walk 50 ft from our room to amazing snorkelling. On average saw 10-12 sea turtles per swim, plus rays reef sharks and loads of fish. Had economy suite which was fully equipped. Staff were great, food was affordable and nice. Short hike to nudey beach to break up the day. Highly recommend do your first snorkel at 8:30 before tour boat arrives from Cairn. Honestly snorkelling was never crowded. Highly recommend and would come back.

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 !!
