Isolation on Fitzroy
Great place to unwind. There is barely any mobile phone service which helps you unwind. They have designated Wifi areas which you have to pay for, but it is quite cheap.
The beaches are mainly coral, but the water is great. tons of marine life right around the beach. We saw turtles almost every day
The food options are very limited so I would recommend a room with a kitchen and then you bring your own food to cook most meals

Recommend the 3rd floor ocean view suite.
Our family stayed two nights at Fitzroy Island. Recommend the 3rd floor ocean view suite. A little extra cost but worth the view. If you have a kitchen, take as much food as you can. The resort bar / cafe is reasonable but general store is expensive.

Fitzroy Island is an amazing place!!!
Fitzroy Island is an amazing place!!! We spent 3 nights in a beachside cabin which was great value for money. The turtle rehab centre and fabulous snorkelling just off the beach were a highlight along with the hike up the summit. The staff were awesome, very friendly and fun.

Overall very good Resort. More activities would be god. We did have an issues with our rooms on check in. We specifically requested connecting rooms with the second room being a twin room. We were allocated a double bed for the second room eventhough the booking specifically requested twin beds. To the resorts credit they did change our rooms.

Wonderful
It was wonderful staying there for four nights but would recommend getting an Ocean view suite with cooking facilities as dining options were limited. Most of the staff were so bright and cheerful as if they had been hand picked, especially the guy who ran the dive shop within the hotel and the receptionist Jodi.

I would recommend this to families
Fitzroy Island resort was beautiful to look at and the rooms were spacious. There were a lot of maintenance issues in our room which we reported to the resort. It is a great place to stay, but the accommodation needs an update. The fact that our children were in a completely separate room and had to get through a locked external door if they needed us in the night was not expected, but we managed. Proper \"family\" 2 bedroom suites would work better for most people. We loved the island and enjoyed all the facilities. The pool was too cold for most for swimming in July. It would have been better if they could invest in solar pool heating for the cooler months. I would recommend this to families as a good 4 star resort.

Kim from Travstar was absolutely fabulous, more than accommodating and helpful. As well as being very prompt and pro active. The resort was great, a little over priced sometimes but the staff throughout were lovely, the room was great and we had a lovely stay.

Awesome experience
The moment the boat pulled up to this island me and my wife were in Awe.
Awesome experience, one word of advice , dont forget your thongs.
Only drawback was the general store is quite small so if you plan to self cater bring groceries from mainland.
Posted By David Bloor
Better than expected
I had an awesome family weekend away! From the moment we left Cairns until the moment we got back it was better than expected and we will be back very soon! Booking was easy and fast! Have already started recommending to friends and colleagues! Thanks heaps!

Perfect Island Getaway
This resort is beautifully situated, nestled into the hillside with magnificent views of the sunset. We had an ocean suite on the 3rd floor and it was just perfect sitting on the balcony looking at the water, mountains etc. You can swim/snorkel straight in front of the complex, or walk to the several other inlets nearby. The National Park offers some good walks which is also a bonus for an island resort. It is only a 40 minute trip from Cairns. I would advise travelers to shop up in Cairns for essentials as the general store only has basics and the suites are so comfortable with fully equipped kitchen etc, for the times you dont feel like eating out for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The restaurant was very good and Foxys Bar has pub type food for those relaxing evenings. I travelled with my husband but would like to return with my grandchildren in the future. I think it would be a childs paradise, with the swimming, snorkeling and watersports.

Information on what was available
On arrival some information on what was available to do would have been a bit more welcoming and someone to show you to your room and maybe carry your ports. I heard one lady struggling with her ports and muttering, "typical Queensland service".

The island is beautiful
The island is beautiful and we really enjoyed the snorkelling. The resort facilities were good and well maintained. Staff are very friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately the food is VERY overpriced and meal sizes are small. They have a general store on the island, but it has hardly anything in it other than chocolate and ice creams. The 2 restaurants only open on meal times, so if you get hungry in between meals, you just go hungry (which makes things very difficult when travelling with a toddler.

It is a beautiful place and well worth the visit. I wish we
Hi everyone at Travstar, My daughter and I have recently returned from our package trip to Fitzroy Island. I was extremely happy with the whole package and nothing was too much trouble for anyone on Fitzroy for us. The resort staff also let us into our room early as it was ready and this was greatly appreciated as we had arrived from WA at 4am that morning and were in much need of a shower and a lie down. It is a beautiful place and well worth the visit. I wish we had stayed longer!!

What a place we stayed here for 3 nights 4 days in a Studio would recommend this Island to every one. Restaurant a bit pricy service on our first night was very slow and the food not that good, but on the third night service was good meal was better. Snorkling and the coral was breath taking.

We loved it so much we paid to stay an extra 2 nights
We chose this resort based on price as we were on a tight budget for our second honeymoon. We loved it so much we paid to stay an extra 2 nights. The dive school was brilliant, I scuba dived for the first time ever and loved it. My husband, a regular diver, found the price service and experience great. The island was tropical paridise, staff were fantastic, the food brilliant and the facilities were amazing for the price. We are already planning our next trip, with the children this time, they will love it too.

Fitzroy Island resort
The resort was well organised. The food was of excellent quality, friendliness of staff was consistently very good, the facilities of the resort very comfortable. The only let down was there is only one small beach that is really suitable for sunbathing & swimming as it is the only beach with sand. The rest of the island is very rocky or has coral which is hard to walk on. To access Nudey Beach it is over a 500 metre walk through bushland and steep rocky paths. A number of people were unable to make the walk - wheelchair bound, elderly or unfit and so they were unable to enjoy this experience and were bound to the pool and resort. The degree of difficulty listed on the paths was a bit of a joke amongst the guests. Easy paths would have been deemed as moderate and moderate as difficult etc in the real world. We would go back for the relaxing experience but would have to get fitter to tackle the walks on the island. Even on the coral beach, there were no lounges so swimmers could lie comfortably. Not an environment for disabled or unfit visitors.

A wonderful time on Fitzroy Island.
My children and I had a wonderful time on Fitzroy Island. We stayed 4 nights in lovely accommodation, very comfortable with beautiful views. The island is one of the most scenic places I have ever been and we took lots and lots of photos. (particularly sunset photos from the balcony of the restaurant). All of the staff from the lovely cleaning staff to the restaurant and reception staff were all very friendly and helpful. The weather was great and there was lots to do if so desired.

will definately stay longer on our next trip
Wow after reading other reviews chose to split our holiday and only spend 5 nights on the island...will definately stay longer on our next trip. The staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Feel totally relaxed after our stay here. The food in the restaurant was excellent and offered plenty of options for my fussy husband. The walk to the light house and summit although an effort (especially in the middle of the day) is well worth the effort and the snorkelling is excellent. Can not wait for our next holiday as we will definately be paying another visit to Fitzroy Island.

beautiful and easy escape
Yet to be fully discovered Fitzroy Island is a stunningly beautiful and easy escape from commercial Cairns. The location of the resort offers unique evening views across to the mainland that allow your to listen to the gentle lapping of water while watching the sun go down. The wind never got overly , as it can do on other islands, due to the sheltered position of Welcome Bay. We had a quick parents escape and could not have asked for a better place to spend our precious quality time together.
