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.

Nudey Beach was great. Everything else not so much. 3pm check in, boat got in at 2:30. Room wasn’t available until 4pm. When we arrived to our room it was still dirty. Tried to push free drink cards to make up for the mess. The beds- terribly uncomfortable. The grounds around the resort smelled like sewage. Thought we would splurge and book a nice stay after staying in hostels. I’d take the hostel over this resort. The beach was great but you could do it all in a day without having to stay at this “resort.”

Nice, isolated island resort which is a 45-minute ferry ride from Cairns. Had originally planned on staying three nights but changed to two prior to booking. The resort is an older property which, while clean and maintained, shows its age with some needed maintenance to return to (what I'm sure was) it's former island oasis status. The access to snorkeling and the great vigorous and scenic 4 km hike were the highlights of the resort. On the other, hand, the isolation and lack of alternative restaurants, made my decision to stay only two nights a good one. I was fortunate to have a spectacular sunset on my final evening. Overall, the resort, with the view from my room, the snorkeling access and invigorating hike with incredible views, was well worth a visit.

This was quite of a surprise how nice this place is. The island is beautiful, end even though it’s a small resort you can still keep your self busy for 2-3 days. We enjoyed so much a couple of afternoon at the Frotzy Bar, having some drinks and enjoying the view/sunset. It’s nothing fun y but more than enough to relax and enjoy. The restauran was also amazing, good quality and great test. We got to meet one of the chef, a very your passionate cook!
