Galley Bay Resort & Spa

It’s hard to find fault. What we love is the sit down service in every restaurant, served in the main by delightful staff. There is the odd one that can be a bit grumpy but most are amazingly helpful, cheerful and know their stuff. Often people react to how they are spoken to. The food is very good, and beautifully presented. Yes an older clientele but we still like to have fun! There is entertainment every night. Low key but good. The hotel setting is stunning and the pool area is tranquil and plenty of sun beds so no one needs to rush down in the morning. Many clients use their sun beds outside their beach front rooms with a fabulous view of the cove. Someone complained there was no music at the pool-most people just want to relax with no noise. You can use your own ear buds/headphones. Service around the pool was very good. The pool itself is cleaned everyday and the water is clear. Rooms are immaculate and everything is replenished daily. Yes there can be red flags up on the beach from time to time as the hotel takes safety seriously. I fail to understand how you can mark a hotel down due to the weather. They are good at Galley Bay but cannot control the weather fronts and water currents. There are many returning guests. That speaks for itself. No hotel complex can please everyone all of the time. If your preference is a dress code of vests and shorts at dinner, with a buffet with people moving up and down throughout the evening then Galley Bay isn’t for you. If you like leisurely meals, and tranquility then it is the perfect place.

Beautiful resort. Amazing garden. Good served food so not for buffet devotees. Gauguin restaurant has great food for every meal and the other ones as well! Great choice.

The resort is very beautiful and well laid out. We loved our room, just steps to the beach and ocean, simply gorgeous. We loved listening to the ocean as we went to sleep. Where Galley Bay falls short of thier top tier claim, however, is in the food. It is simply mediocre. There are three restaurants to choose from, we ate at two, and both were just ok. The staff was hit or miss. Some people were very friendly, while others seemed like our requests or questions were bothersome. For the price, we certainly would choose another all-inclusive next time. When we arrived, we asked guest services for two requests that were never followed up on. The nightly live music was a nice touch, although it is a much older crowd. This was not a problem, just something to note. I will add that the spa is spectacular. We had a couples massage in a beautiful outdoor hut with outstanding massage therapists. Overall, the trip was very pricey for the service and food provided.

Our third visit to Galley Bay and ten years since our last. Our stay was everything we remembered from last time and more. We had a Deluxe Seafront room (on the first floor). This was beautifully specified and the outlook over the beach and bay were amazing. Other accommodation is available but frankly we wouldn't advise that you pay extra to 'trade up' unless you have mobility issues on the steps (which can be a little slippery when it rain showers). All the food was a la carte (with the exception of a small number of breakfast items) and the service was always friendly and prompt. There is plenty of space to relax - designated loungers on the beach in front of the room and always space around the pool. Galley Bay truly feels like a place where you can rest assured that everything is taken care of in a super-chilled atmosphere. It's under-stated luxury and truly a stunning location. We will surely be back again!

This is a top notch hotel in Antigua! We stayed 8 nights and everything was lovely! The hotel grounds were immaculate; the staff very friendly and welcoming. The room itself cannot be beat - very spacious and clean. The food and drinks were amazing! I will definitely return here in the future.
