Review summary

Guests frequently highlight the spacious and clean rooms at Fitzroy Island Resort, with many enjoying ocean views. Snorkeling right off the beach is a popular activity, thanks to the abundance of turtles and fish easily seen in the well-protected bay; the pool is also a hit with kids. While some found the general store's selection limited, the resort's location near Cairns and stunning scenery generally make for a memorable experience.

Balanced Stay

spacious suite swim-up bar overpriced food limited store
The bay suite offered plenty of space. It had comfortable accommodations and great views. We found the resort facilities useful. The swim-up bar was a nice addition.
The food options were very overpriced. The quality was not great. We found better value bringing our own food. The store had very little available for purchase.
