My stay at Fitzroy Island Resort was overall a delightful experience, with breathtaking views and the thrill of swimming with turtles. However, the service could use some improvement, as my room had some cleanliness issues and the dining options felt limited. The location is spectacular, making it hard not to enjoy the surroundings, but the limited food choices and some maintenance issues were disappointing.

Fitzroy Island Resort is an absolute gem for anyone who loves snorkeling and relaxation. The vibrant coral gardens and marine life are a sight to behold. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, perfect for our family getaway. While the food at on-site restaurants is good, some meals felt a bit pricey. The limited internet coverage was a minor drawback but didn't take away from our overall enjoyment of the stay.

Dining was decent, but the limited options at the two on-site restaurants made it feel a little repetitive after a few days. Some meals were overpriced, so I recommend bringing snacks.

We had an amazing stay at the resort, enjoying the stunning ocean views and the variety of activities available. The rooms were spacious and clean, making it a comfy retreat. The staff provided commendable service, although there were moments where they seemed unsure. The dining experience was delightful but could use a little more flexibility with breakfast timings. Overall, it's a fantastic place for a getaway, though a few improvements could elevate the experience further.

The room we stayed in was excellent, spacious, and clean, offering lovely ocean views, but the downside was that the window faced the walkway, which made it a bit darker and less private at times.

My stay at the resort was mixed, with stunning snorkeling opportunities and a fantastic location near the beach. However, the rooms were musty and needed refreshing, and dining options were hit-or-miss with some below-average meals. Overall, it felt like a place to relax if you don't set high expectations.
Rooms

The room I stayed in was quite small, musty, and lacked natural light. It definitely needs a refurb. However, being on the ground floor made it convenient for my family of four.

Fitzroy Island is truly a tropical paradise with stunning views and crystal-clear water. The accommodations were modern and comfortable, although the cliff view from my room wasn't as appealing as I'd hoped. While the atmosphere and activities on the island were great, the food options left much to be desired, especially given the high prices and limited variety. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for a getaway, but be prepared to bring your own meals or settle for repetitive dining options.
