Nowhere near “luxury “, more like a run down budget hostel. Extortionate prices. Dreadful food. No room service cleaning or refresh in 5 days!! Unbelievable when paying $636 per night! no wifi but advertised wifi in every room. No bedside lamps. No door mat so you drag dirt in. Bed was lumpy and uncomfortable . No netting or privacy y screening with large numbers of day tourists traipsing past the cabin on an access road. False advertising for example “sunset cruise with drinks and nibbles” , was a silly excision 10m from beach for 30 mins…No nibbles or drinks in sight. The pub is filthy, outdated and ridiculously expensive with little choice. $53 for a bottle of wine that would cost 16$AUD at a bottle-o. No healthy or vegan options. Be prepared for utter disappointment. It’s an embarrassment to Queensland tourism.

Beautiful island with lots of options for activities. Sea turtles easy to spot when snorkeling. Facilities a bit run down as mentioned in previous reviews but did not hinder enjoyment of location and use of facilities. Room could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly especially bathroom but again nothing that took away enjoyment of stay. Restaurant meal was excellent for both dinner and breakfast and cafe was also terrific. Fantastic service from staff especially by check in and out. Excursions to turtle hospital and glass bottom boat definitely worthwhile. Great to have kitchen in room. We have one child with significant food issues so took a full suitcase of food and that was worthwhile as little store stocks effectively no groceries only chips, icebreaker and souvenirs. Made a huge difference to our stay knowing we could make meals for her that she could eat. Overall would highly recommend especially for families. In one sense being a bit run down meant it had a more relaxing vibe especially with young kids. Also was able to get a great coffee daily at the cafe. We would definitely go again.

I didn’t like the fact that the room had not been adequately cleaned as there was a fat cockroach who appeared out of the tea and coffee box on my arrival and by the fact that it had a lot of droppings in there, I think it had been in there for awhile. The mattress on the twin beds sagged and was uncomfortable.

I didn't like that their email said no need line up in queue if you checkin online, because it's untrue and I still had to queue up as they wanted to re-check all the details and it was worse because others hadn't checked in online so their process took longer. The receptionist was obviously not aware of this email and instead of apologizing, was justifying. I was told that we can use all resort facilities after check out until the boat arrives but they refused to give any more than one towel if you went for a swim, and were making it seem like it's a favour? I am not going to use the sea salt drenched towel for after shower drying, it's pretty common sense. I have never seen any hotel, resort or even hostels refuse their guests of towels. It was bizarre. The staff was being unnecessarily uptight and unhelpful for no good reason I felt. The common shower facility in the building was extremely dirty and unsantinary. Hair and mud everywhere on the floor. That cannot be resort experience. Very yuck. Nothing to do in the resort in the evening. Everything shuts down by 7pm. There was also no intercom to call the reception, in my room. The only helpful staff there was the equipment hire people, guided really well. All in all, I do not recommend the resort at all. I would suggest a day trip is better instead.

Was in the Welcome Bay suite for 6 days. We needed to keep asking to replenish items toilet paper, tissues etc considering the length of our stay these items should already be available in our room. Also Need somewhere to put your soap shampoo in the shower other than on the floor. A rack?? Otherwise everything else was great Staff were friendly and helpful Dive shop staff were also fantastic and very helpful especially Keira as well as all the other girls

The staff are great, the breakfast was enjoyable especially the view each morning sitting out on the terrace. The snorkeling was good too, definitely better done at high tide to avoid walking on and destroying coral. For the price we were impressed, yes some areas need attention but you can see it is being updated. Special mention for staff Tom, Leonie, and Carys they were so friendly and helpful but all the staff were great. Would definitely return to Fitzroy Island next time we are in Cairns.

Great stay for a couple of days, accommodation needs some updating (parts of the room were falling apart ie. broken tiles, sharp grout and dripping aircon). Some staff were amazing and some were very abrupt and unhelpful. The guided kayak tour was great, Sara was super lovely and just a really relaxing way to hang out on the way. Pool area is small and limited seating but drinks at the pool were great. Foxy’s has ok food but prices are pretty high, live music on a Saturday night is a good vibe. Overall a good short stay if you’re looking to just relax, snorkel and get away from winter.
