Galley Bay Resort & Spa

Oh my from arriving at reception and being driven down over the extensive lake we were not disappointed. Walked into room 43 overlooking the beautiful blue sea. Room bathroom is huge modern and ultra clean. Peeps can’t see in but be aware nighttime with lights on they can….. outside shower if not full on press little button on head to sort this. Each sea view room has allocated beds on beach. Dreamy😄! Beach bar tenders patrol beach but not so frequent as busy periods I’m guessing but you do have a full fridge… Pool not busy at this time of year has buzzers for drinks oh my! All meals a la carte if wished but we chose to eat from the beachfront grill at lunch time.Gin bar not open every day as low season but not a problem. Coffee shack always open fab ice creams. Gin bar every few days… low season…. Booked catamaran lobster lunch by deposit turned out that was a premium you could just have chicken and fish. Which was good as for the first time I was sea sick! Lucky we cancelled the lobster….. 50 dollars for two…. You need to be a strong swimmer on the reef. Entertainment fantastic always a different band. Bar drinks crazy every one premium brands no rubbish. We witnessed a turtle giving birth and helped with baby turtle release with Ashton, Fab time with zornel on a bob cat experience what a guy! All in all book a fantastic trip you won’t be disappointed will definitely be back in a few years …..

My husband and I had an amazing 10 night stay at Galley Bay last month. It was my husband’s third visit and I have been so many times I have lost count! Firstly the staff. They are all very special. To name just a few I will always remember Pearl with her lovely smile and the fact she got my husband a cushion at mealtimes to help with his bad back. The manager Cedric with his cheery wave and smile and always making time for a chat despite being very busy. Shiloh from water sports with his vast knowledge of Antigua and who hasn’t aged a bit in the 20 plus years I have known him and Niquan who took us out on a boat trip which was great. The food. The food is very good with plenty of choice from delicious steaks to amazing fish most of which we cannot get in the UK and the cakes and pastries are brilliant. The rooms. They are very comfortable and as we had a beach front room we could lie in bed and look straight out into the ocean. The bed is big and comfortable and as someone who doesn’t sleep well at home I find I always sleep well at Galley Bay. The wildlife. The tropical birds are beautiful and there are some lovely ducks wandering around and also a mongoose or two who say a quick hello and disappear. All in all Galley Bay offers charm, relaxation and quality. I can’t wait to return.

Our honeymoon at Galley Bay was unforgettable. The resort is beautiful, the staff are so warm, and starting the morning with yoga by the water was the perfect touch. The highlight was dinner at Ismay’s—the restaurant is stunning and the food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The head chef was amazing, making us feel so special and going above and beyond to personalize our meal. Overall, Galley Bay was the best choice we could have made for our honeymoon.

Everyone looks for something different but for us Galley Bay Resort is the go to resort if you want to get away from it all. No glamour and glitz but the genuine warmth shown by all the staff combined with great amenities, local entertainment and food and not to forget the fantastic beach makes us go back time after time. Management are always visible and regularly engage with guests to ensure the resort meets with all your needs.

INCREDIBLE! Absolutely STUNNING. The beach is perfect the service outstanding, the food just brilliant. We stayed in a Premium Beachfront Suite Beachfront these rooms are my favourite! You can request ground floor for beach walkout but I loved the 1st floor. They are huge rooms - with massive bathrooms. I would 1000000% return here. Ive seen some reviews mention that is very quiet - while it is a more tranquil place I think that its important to understand travelling 'off season' aug/sep will be quieter than November - April-June. Saying that they had some music in the evenings! GO! Visit Shirley Heights for some fun :)
