Absolutely beautiful location. Staff were friendly and helpful, but there were hardly any around (maybe because it was low season). Check in took far too long, predictable as every time a boat arrives it overwhelmed the 1-2 staff max on the desk. The resort looks a bit cyclone battered - many rusted fixtures and some exterior repairs needed

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!!

The resort was okay. There was a weird smell when you had a shower and inside the room, didn’t help that there wasn’t a fan inside the bathroom. Shower pressure was not great and bathroom and room was very small especially for two people staying with big suitcases. Overall the room was fine to stay in.

Room was poorly stocked no milk in room on arrival and unable to get milk for tea and coffee until morning staff arrived after 9 am. Very basic tea and coffee. Evening and day staff very helpful but as there wasn’t a phone in room you had to go to reception for everything. Didn’t bother with breakfast. National parks were very good. Will just do a day trip next time unless with family.

I hate writing negative reviews but The property is in serious need of a full remodel; everything is dirty and or broken the pullout bed is the worst kind weve experienced and our toddler wasn't even able to utilise it and even structural supports show severe signs of degradation along the walkway. The snorkelling and walks are great but yourself a favour and do a day trip and stay in Cairns.
