Everything was well managed. The snorkelling was great with a good variety of fish and corals. We were able to swim with the turtles too. I am 77 and had no problem with any aspect of this experience. We also went to Green Island and I preferred Fitzroy.

I was initially excited when I arrived as the resort looks good after its make-over. The kickers for me are coral bleaching has devastated the snorkelling areas which was why I was there. Very very below pa service from under experienced staff learning on the job with a huge price tag in the restaurant. Food was good though but the coffee tasted like poison and on top of that you can't get a coffee after 2pm on the island. Lastly, the nightly movies are dated and the chairs in the cinema are dining chairs. It's impossible to sit through a feature film on a dining chair - talk about uncomfortable. There is nothing to do on the island after 8.30pm if you don't watch a movie

Lack of food options, we respected their rules of not bringing our own food/snacks and consequently regretted it, the general store had very little stock, breakfast and dinner -good menu but food barely warm, paid $30 surcharge for Sunday night restaurant dinner it was very nice food but served almost cold, couldn’t get a decent coffee all long life milk don’t understand this when the ferry is going back and forth at l ast two-three times a day

Lots of issues trying to book activities. Was told I could not book anything by the people who book the activities but was told by other staff they were the only ones who could book the activities. Apparently the issue was they assumed I was not staying at the resort. After I had walked back and forth a few times and got that issue sorted I was then booked in back to back activities and told the times and the staff even wrote down my schedule for me. Turned out my scuba safari started 30 minutes later so I had to leave earlier to get to my next activity. The staff were all nice enough - but very disorganized. Room ok - a bit dated. Bed quite hard. Quiet area which was nice.

Excellent except for the long wait and bad Food
The 3pm check in time and 10am check out is a bit rough if staying only one night. There is no flexibility in those times which was disappointing. We arrived on the 11 o’clock ferry and had to wait until nearly 3pm for a room. The restaurant food is aimed at a teenager taste; chips and burgers. Nothing healthy. The Vietnamese salad is terrible. Nothing Vietnamese about that, mostly cold noodles with a tiny bit of green. The cook should take a trip to Vietnam to see what it supposed to look like, with heaps of vegetables and little noodles.

Love the location and who wouldn’t? The place is very run down and not worthy of an overnight stay. Day trip for the location experience is a must! Also very noisy rooms if staying below one of the three floors as the floors are wooden beamed not concrete.

Wonderful location with great snorkelling straight off the beach. Our room was dark with view of stairwell. Service generally good except at Foxy's Bar where it was poor. This might be due to the staff having to deal with the daytripper hordes all day but they need to be a bit less offhand and complacent with the staying guests remaining after the last boat has left for the day. Dining options were limited with the main restaurant very overpriced with small serves.

A dream came true for our granddaughters
Our stay on Fitzroy Island was everything we all had hoped for. Our accommodations were amazing and having the balcony with the full open accordion doors made it perfect. Everyone was kind, helpful and went out of their way to make the stay amazing. The food at both restaurants was fantastic. My granddaughters loved the croissants. Ty and John were fantastic on our Guided Snorkel Adventure. Hated to leave, but we take the magical memories with us.
