the resort is over priced for what you get and the price of food is over the top but the island is mind blowing, you can snorkle over reef in 3 foot of water so you dont have to be a strong swimmer to enjoy the reef and the walks on the island are a must, will go there again... More

Ferry was good, check in was easy :) Unfortunately we got 200mm of rain the two days we were there!! Nevertheless we had a good stay. Facilities were good. We made good use of the small cinema (3-4 movies on a day).The pool was big enough although quite cold. Strange how the pool bar was only open from 12-4ish...not really... More

We had a special price on a cabin $290 (usually $360).for that price I expected the luggage to be taken from the ferry to the room instead of having to lug it ourselves on and off the ferry and to the room in the rain. I also thought the restaurant should be open every night considering our cabin did not... More

We were checked in by a lovely chap (Kieran) who told us what to do around the island and to our... More

The island is in every sense a tropical paradise with a beautiful beach, water sports, walks, beaches, snorkelling, diving, a turtle rehab centre etc. The hotel has been refurbished to a nice standard with no expense spared on furniture in the rooms. We went specifically for the Cairns Blues Festival and it was a great venue for the event and... More

We went to Fitzroy Island for our anniversary. We spent 3 days there last week. The weather wasn't perfect, but still it was one of the best short holiday ever together with my husband. All the staff were so friendly, and we had a very nice spacious room with beautiful ocean view. The room has a big fridge with dish... More

We stayed here for 5 nights for our honeymoon and would recommend it to anyone wanting a quiet, relaxing holiday. The resort was clean and the staff very friendly. We did have sugar ants in our room, however this is to be expecting in the tropics. The rooms and quite spacious and have everything you need. With only 1 resort... More

Spent Easter weekend on Fitzroy Island. I have stayed there a few times over the years and it seems to be sliding down slowly. Accommodation is nice, if you like a hard bed, and well appointed. Ensure you leave your AC on or the rooms get very musty/mouldy very quickly. Do not stress abut the water being brown....it is the... More

Enjoyable stay. We had a 1 bedroom suite. Very nice. Gorgeous bathroom. Comfortable bed. Loved how the lounge and the bedroom opened up to the deck with nice view to the sea. The Kitchen was well appointed. It would of been better if we had taken more food to utilise the kitchen better. At this time of the year the... More
