Fitzroy Island is just a 45 minute ferry from Cairns. Yet, despite its nearness, the resort is modestly sized and very quiet. There are hikes to the summit and lighthouse and various other walks; snorkel, kayak, fish, schedule a scuba/snorkel to the reef, or scuba from the island itself, or just laze by the pool or on the beach. Don't... More

We stayed in a Ocean Suite from June 5-7, 2013 with our 2 young children (1.5yrs and 3). Overall our trip to the island was outstanding, but a few things would have made it even better, and considering they pitch themselves as a 4.5 star resort, I'm not sure they are quite worthy of that. What made our trip so... More

My partner and i spent 3 days 2nights out on the island. If it were not for the vibrant attitude from most of the staff there our stay would of been horrible! With our room there was mold all through the bathroom, giving the impression the cleaning staff do not do there job properly, at night there is a 'humming'... More

We stayed here for 2 nights with our 2year old daughter. You can snorkel directly off the beach in as much as waist deep water. We had a full buffett breakfast included in our rate, there was a great variety of foods to keep us satisfied. We took enought food to have our own lunch, for dinner we ate at... More

Fitzroy Island Resort is absolutely lovely! We spent 3 nights in a one bedroom suite with an adjoining 1 bedroom on the third floor (top floor). We had a fabulous view and our suite was wonderful! I wish that we had stayed on the island a little longer. There are some good hikes (hiking the summit trail means you go... More

The room we had was self-contained and very well set out and comfortable when we finally got it. We were given the wrong room on arrival and felt a little disappointed with the way the mistake was handled. Apart from a tense start, the next two days were very relaxing and the setout of Foxy's bar being away from the... More

Living in Cairns we had always intended to go visit Fitzroy Island but keep putting it off. Determined to visit we took the Fitzroy Island Cat to the Island for a two night stay. We booked a Oceanview Suite (locals remember to ask for the local price). On the ground floor our suite had lovely views through the trees to... More

The walk to the ferry is long and lacks signage. Having to lug ones luggage from the car park to the ferry is laborious. We are healthy and young thank goodness otherwise this could have been a problem. This was our first impression of what we would encounter on our trip. Lack of direction and forethought. Upon arriving at the... More

We spent 2 nights here arriving about 9am and really appreciated the early friendly checkin. Our suite was very nice and large with a private verandah, sink, stove, microwave and dishwasher however it was all overrun with tiny ants that got into everything including clothes, food, medications etc and if we left a cup on the sink it was nearly...
