We stayed in one of the beachfront villas. We loved being so close to the beach; it was delightful to sit outside on the porch and sip on a glass of wine while watching the sunset. The villa was spacious and very comfortable - certainly everything we needed for an enjoyable one night stay.
Being able to snorkel and see beautiful coral and fish right off the beach was wonderful too.
This eco-resort offers luxurious suites on a tropical island in the Great Barrier Reef. Set amidst lush rainforest, the spacious suites feature private balconies with either rainforest or pool views.

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.
Highly recommend Fitzroy Island Resort. It was a great experience with snorkling, swimming and boat tours right at your door step. There are some lovely walks/hikes on the island too. Staff were great, including Jeff and co in the Tour Office who helped us organise all our boat trips and snorkling gear during our stay on the island. Food was great in the restaurant and in Foxy's Bar too.
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.
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 restaurant is amazing, and everything is set to have an unforgettable experience at Fitzroy resort. I highly recommend booking this hotel and this fantastic island. There are many things to do for all ages.
The location and food was great, and it was good to have a couple of options for dinner and drinks.
Would highly recommend a day trip to Fitzroy Island but I wouldn’t recommend staying at the resort.
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..
The location, views, friendly staff. Restaurant staff Fernanda, the reception staff Kylan and Ariel and the turtle centre staff Taylor were really lovely.
I hated the original room I booked…probably the cheapest …?? Musty and dark. Fortunately we were able to upgrade, expensive but made our stay worthwhile
