The place was really magical! We loved the hiking, the snorkeling, Nudey Beach, the pool and our room. I can't remember the last time I was so relaxed! The staff was fantastic and so patient with my many questions prior to arrival. They were very attentive and friendly! Bed was comfortable, sheets were crisp!

As the only property on the entire island, the Fitzroy Resort has one of the best locations on Earth in my opinion! Whether we wanted to go hiking, swimming, snorkeling, lay on beach, or just sit in the beach side bar with a drink and a spectacular view - they have it all, with no crowds, lots of space, and perfect weather yearround! Truly one of my most favorite places to visit.

Everything cost money. The snorkels, fins etc. they proudly claimed you could use their ocean trampoline for free, but you couldn’t swim out their unless you rented a Lycra suit because of the jellyfish. They even charged for a floaty to use as a floatation device.
The location! It is set in the Coral sea with beautiful beaches.

- • Leisure trip

The food was either super expensive and you got small but very decent tasting meals or kind of expensive and you got crap. Breakfast was disappointing, lots of grease. Only two dinner options as foxys bar closed at 5pm on off peak season. Hotel is very unsafe. Walkways are uneven and stairways had zero lighting in all but one staircase. When raining the uneven walkway was very slippery and you find yourself tripping over every few steps. NO MEDICAL STAFF ON THE ISLAND. I asked the reception staff if there was a medical professional on the island and the response I got was ummm no sorry.. with no offer for a solution to my problem and no help. The hotel and ferry service is literally run by children. All staff seemed to be between the ages of 18-30. Unhappy and unhelpful. My partner asked the same staff member at reception for a tissue to which he replied “you have tissues in your room” It’s a shame really. Will not be going back
The rooms were actually really lovely. We had a small one bedroom apartment type room that was a really great atmosphere to be in. I could have stayed forever in that room.

Although the apartment has all of the cooking facilities available there is not much available at the general goods store on the island. Although the price was high you get what you pay for. Food prices are a bit steep.

Didnt like the member of the restaurant staff who was extremely unhelpful when i asked about vegan options. I had contacted the resort days before arriving to ask about vegan options and was told to just let the restaurant staff know. I was offered 2 salads or a linguine with a vegetable. Seriously disappointed.
Lovely room, very clean. Nice comfortable bed

The food was average, not much choice at night with foxy’s closing at 5. The restaurant did not suit our needs at night due to having young children.
Amazing view, we loved the pool and facilities that were available. Beautiful place to visit will definitely stay again. As a local we normal do day trips, but this was a great little stay which everyone enjoyed.

Bad odour around our unit. The odour around the Foxy restaurant and the main restaurant is terrible due to washroom location. Food was over priced for quality. A waste of time and money. Stay away.

“The most relaxed I have been in a very long time surrounded by a beautiful national park!!”
- • Leisure trip

I should have been more attentive to the advice to bring snacks, soft drinks and breakfast foods. Food is rather pricey, although we enjoyed our meals and really only needed one per day. The massage was fine, but currently located in a noisy area. They are planning to move it tho.. Wish there were screens so we would have felt better about sleeping with the doors open....I am not sure how you would put them on those doors that open so wide tho and give you the beautiful ocean view.

“Unique stay on this amazing island”
- • Leisure trip

The room and especially bathrooms are quite outdated already. The place could use a little freshening up. We had dinner and lunch at the Foxy's bar. The food was OK, but quite expensive for that quality.
The location is one of a kind. The possibility to just walk to the beach and to go snorkeling on the reef was just amazing! The summit track was quite difficult in full sunshine, but we did it and the view from the top of the hill was breathtaking! The rooms are big and the view from the balcony is nice. Breakfast was great. Loved that we could use all the facilities even after check-out as we stayed on the island until the very last ferry.

No free WiFi. Did not appreciate having to pay a fee to pay by debit card, I would not be carrying huge sums of cash to a small island. Can understand if using a Credit Card but would have preferred to pay by debit card to avoid charges however this would have incurred the same charges!
Beautiful penthouse apartment, idyllic setting Staff lovely. Dive centre staff friendly and helpful and recommend the glass- bottom boat and snorkelling trip.
