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 Fitzroy Flyer transfer was on time & the staff were very attentive - as the weather was not great on the way to the island. The island itself is so beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed hiking up to the summit, sitting on the main beach & walking over to Nudie Beach. We would definitely visit Fitzroy Island for a day-trip but would never stay at the resort again.
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.
The restaurant is amazing, and everything is set to have an unforgettable experience at Fitzroy resort. I highly recommend booking this hotel and this fantastic island. There are many things to do for all ages.
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.
Even if hotel room was lower than average, I will still recommend everyone to come to Fitzroy island and stay for at least 1 night , because the island , nature , sunset - all is just amazing..
Getting to Fitzroy Island is part of the adventure and charm - loved the ferry across from Cairns. We saw enough of the island to realise that on its day, it would be a stunning place to be.
we stayed in a bungalow, we loved being away from main resort and direct access to beach. it was sufficient size for us, family of 5. had basic cooking. small fridge and bbq on balcony.
The location, as it is the only hotel in the Island. The food at was also Zephyr was pretty good, even though the restaurant's ambiance was less than desirable.
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
