Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Fitzroy Island Resort is loved for its fantastic location, especially being close to Cairns and directly on the beach, offering a unique experience. Guests particularly enjoy the spacious kitchens and multiple balconies in some accommodations, creating a breezy and open atmosphere; the views from the beach bar are also frequently praised. The buffet breakfast is a hit, and the restaurant provides excellent quality dining, though some found the coffee average. A few guests have mentioned that the bungalows could use a bit more maintenance, particularly a stove for cooking.

Solid Stay at the Island Retreat

cute receptionattentive servicemissing grocery
I appreciated the cute reception. The rental store for clothes and snorkels was excellent. It provided attentive service.
The general store did not carry grocery items. Guests must bring their own if they prefer alternatives to the restaurant for every meal. Alcohol cannot be brought onto the island.

The island suite included a full kitchen, I found it fine. The buffet breakfast was fantastic. My kids were delighted.
The shower water ran into the bathroom because the shower floor lacked enough fall. The taps were loose. The towel rail was about to fall off the wall.
