“Located on a national park island, the property certainly makes the most of its surroundings, especially with its proximity to the Great Barrier Reef. I think the focus on eco-tourism and conservation adds a unique dimension, with the turtle rehabilitation centre offering an educational experience. The PADI-accredited sports hub is definitely a plus for water enthusiasts, though the dining can be a bit hit-or-miss.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Fitzroy Island Resort from previous guests about their experience

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Fitzroy Island Resort is praised for its convenient access to fantastic snorkeling, a highlight for many, and the invigorating 4 km hiking trail with incredible views. Guests enjoy the spacious rooms, especially the Welcome Bay suites which feature useful amenities like a washer and dryer. Dining at Zephyr is highly recommended for breakfast, while Foxy's offers another great option; however, some guests have noted that Foxy's closing hours can be earlier than expected. it's a relaxing island getaway.
