We had a great Island room with a nice view over the ocean. Lots to do with snorkeling to view the spectacular coral reefs, a great hike to the island summit with extensive views and chilling out on the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our three day visit.

This resort was an awesome place to stay for a week of relaxation and exploration of the surrounding reef and island. There was enough to do for a six day stay. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful (Sadie, Lucy & Ariel in particular). The resort is a bit run-down in places however and the limited food options at Foxy’s Bar get tired after a few days. But that’s a small price to pay for the beautiful surrounds and dinner at Zephyr’s was lovely. The only low spot was hearing about, and then also being subjected to, one staff member’s officious manner. It wasn’t necessary to speak to guests rudely and that doesn’t reflect well on the resort and all the good people who work there. I was told this was the general manager but it’s hard to believe a general manager would lead his staff in that manner…

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 !!

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.

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.
