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 island was absolutely magical! The snorkelling was fantastic and great for kids, don’t miss the fish feeding at 11:30am and 3pm on the pier great for the kids!
Lovely walk over to Nudey beach once again great for kids and bring your snorkels there too. We’ve been here to Fitzroy Island for a day trip and now stayed over for two nights this trip. I’d say a full day visit is enough unless you choose to do the longer walks.
Fitzroy Island is an idyllic and safe place for a holiday with plenty of activities both on and off the water. With no crocs it is safe to swim and snorkel over the Coral. The resort is excellent. We loved the large pool and the view from our beachfront apartment. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was superb. What a great place to relax and have a holiday.
Fitzroy Island is one of the most precious places on Earth, with stunning reef snorkelling and beautiful rainforest walks. The resort, although a little weathered, was a great base for our family to explore the island for a week. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we had all that we needed. Would go back in a heartbeat.
The island itself is breath taking. The hotel is a little tired. A few more healthy food options at Foxys would be a good idea. The staff were very friendly, helpful and accommodating! Great place when the weather is perfect. Not much to do if the weather isn’t good.
the location of the hotel, right on the beach; the staff was extremely nice and courteous; the room was clean and in the morning we could see nature awakening. The food was very good; the selection is a bit small. all in all, highly recommended for 2-3 days.
Everything about this resort and location is stunning. Once you check in, you will have plenty of activities to do and you'll never get bored of this island. We did our first scuba diving from here and it was so stunning. Highly recommend!
The hotel room was clean and tvs upgraded to include netflix. Tom, the kiwi staff member was great, very helpful.
Staff and running of transfer boat ..fitzroy flyer ..were very good on both journeys
Breakfast at Zephrs was great.
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.
Fitzroy Island is beautiful, the staff were very friendly and the food at the resort and Foxy’s Bar was fabulous. You could also take your own food (we had self catering bungalow).
