Fitzroy Island Resort

I had a lovely stay. The staff are amazing - they all need raises for running the place so well and doing all the hard work! They truly are the backbone of the operation and should be appreciated as such.

Superb location in paradise. The snorkelling was extraordinary. So many different fish, turtles, cuttlefish. Kayaking and stand up paddle boards also available easily. Stinger suits at this time of year but we saw no stingers. The suits were good protection from the sun. A couple of great hikes and the walk to the summit was hard work and needed a lot of water but absolutely worth it and the views are incredible. Amazing sunsets. The facilities are excellent and the restaurant has unbeatable views.

Location is stunning, most staff very friendly and more than willing to help. The reef, well, that’s what makes the whole experience go from meh to excellent. So many corals, fish, turtles. The layout of the resort is great and the food we ate at the bars and restaurants was very good. Coffee, snacks etc all reasonably priced considering there’s no other option on the island; coffee for example cost the same as on the mainland. If you needed anything for your room, such as clean towels or washing up liquid, this was dealt with efficiently. Full kitchen is indeed a full kitchen and allowed us to store and cook a week’s worth of meals cooked from scratch. All public areas such as bars, seating areas and along the beach are very clean and well maintained. Very relaxing atmosphere; thank you to all the hard working staff who made our break the best one in over 5 years.

The location! This was a paradise island. The reef was only a few meters from the shore and was teeming with life. The pool was great and necessary given the stinger risk. All accommodation shortcomings are forgiven in light of the fantastic location. But next time I’d book a balcony room.
