Island style! Super quiet as the resort is the only place on the island and surrounded by steep hills and dense tropical jungle. Not much to do in the evening but the restaurant offers a limited but very creative menu. Room was spacious with a separate dining and sitting areas and all the rooms had a water view along with the deck as well. Very peaceful. There was great snorkeling only steps away from the room. Also a number of fairly challenging hikes in the park with surprisingly well maintained trails. Lots of steps!! A great workout, Large and sparsely used beaches although they are mostly coral so foot ware is required and the soft sandy spots are few. You want a quiet tropical island escape, Fitzroy Island is for you.

It's a lovely island with snorkelling right off the beach and some enjoyable walks and views. The cheaper eating place (Foxy's) still has high quality food and the staff are amazing there and at the resort. The expensive restaurant (Zephyrs) has a minimum spend of $60 per person which seems a shame as it is in a lovely and convenient position but isn't so popular.

Absolutely beautiful resort in a great location with friendly staff. I especially enjoyed the pool and swim up bar! Great dining options available and very clean rooms. Plenty of activities such as kayaking and the glass bottom boat tour to keep you occupied.

Nowhere near “luxury “, more like a run down budget hostel. Extortionate prices. Dreadful food. No room service cleaning or refresh in 5 days!! Unbelievable when paying $636 per night! no wifi but advertised wifi in every room. No bedside lamps. No door mat so you drag dirt in. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable . No netting or privacy y screening with large numbers of day tourists traipsing past the cabin on an access road. False advertising for example “sunset cruise with drinks and nibbles” , was a silly excision 10m from beach for 30 mins…No nibbles or drinks in sight. The pub is filthy, outdated and ridiculously expensive with little choice. $53 for a bottle of wine that would cost 16$AUD at a bottle-o. No healthy or vegan options. Be prepared for utter disappointment. It’s an embarrassment to Queensland tourism.

Beautiful island with lots of options for activities. Sea turtles easy to spot when snorkeling. Facilities a bit run down as mentioned in previous reviews but did not hinder enjoyment of location and use of facilities. Room could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly especially bathroom but again nothing that took away enjoyment of stay. Restaurant meal was excellent for both dinner and breakfast and cafe was also terrific. Fantastic service from staff especially by check in and out. Excursions to turtle hospital and glass bottom boat definitely worthwhile. Great to have kitchen in room. We have one child with significant food issues so took a full suitcase of food and that was worthwhile as little store stocks effectively no groceries only chips, icebreaker and souvenirs. Made a huge difference to our stay knowing we could make meals for her that she could eat. Overall would highly recommend especially for families. In one sense being a bit run down meant it had a more relaxing vibe especially with young kids. Also was able to get a great coffee daily at the cafe. We would definitely go again.

I didn’t like the fact that the room had not been adequately cleaned as there was a fat cockroach who appeared out of the tea and coffee box on my arrival and by the fact that it had a lot of droppings in there, I think it had been in there for awhile. The mattress on the twin beds sagged and was uncomfortable.
