This resort is 5 stars. After being a little worried we were too young to honeymoon here, all I can say is don’t worry, just book it!! Everything at this resort is out of this world, from the food, to the beach, to the spa, to the employees. The food here is the best food I’ve ever had. We never had a bad meal. They are very accommodating if you are picky eaters, like we are. We loved their caesar salad and they made it for us several times when it wasn’t even on the menu. Every dinner was fantastic, always a good option. We also loved barefoot grill for lunch. Their burgers and fries are delicious! I do think our favorite meal was breakfast, especially the banana bread!! I’m still dreaming about it. Their breakfast “Galley Bay Potatoes” too! Omg so good. The drinks were delicious and strong. I’m still dreaming of the “fantasy” drink of the day. I should have gotten the recipe. There was beach service. Make friends with him and he will come back! Make sure to bring your cups, they will fill them up! The beach was beautiful, blue, and calm. We spent lots of time snorkeling the reef and the sunken ship. So many fish! The water sport boys are so fun! Bring floats to relax in too! We stayed in a premium beachfront room. It was clean, huge, and so cute! The housekeepers do an amazing job. It stayed spotless. Our favorite thing ever was turndown service. We loved the bed notes. We did struggle with all the light switches and fan remotes, but you do eventually figure it out. The rooms really are as big as they look. Lastly, the spa was spectacular. Definitely opt for an outdoor couples massage. It wasn’t hot at all, as the fan was blasting! We both wanted to get another one! To end our amazing, perfect week, we got to watch sea turtles hatch on our last night. This was the most amazing experience. I hope everyone gets to meet Ashton and hear his story. We were so sad to leave but are counting down the days until we can return. We love Galley Bay!!

We just returned from an unforgettable week at Galley Bay for our 40th Anniversary, and we’re still on cloud nine over our truly magical experience! We celebrated our 30th anniversary at Galley Bay 10 years ago, and had been dreaming about going back again ever since. Everything was just as perfect as we remembered; most specifically, the top notch service, incredible gourmet level food, excellent accommodations, the sheer beauty of the beach and impeccably kept grounds, and the variety of activities and nightly entertainment. The beautiful guest suites have undergone a facelift since our last visit, and there is now a rum shack and adorable little coffee shop that did not exist back then. (The rum raisin ice cream is amazing!!) The managers and staff at Galley Bay treat you like family, and make you feel 100% spoiled every single day. If you’ve been searching for THE most incredible all inclusive, adults-only, romantic, quiet, relaxing, fun getaway, with THE most dedicated staff, gourmet organic food made to order, top shelf alcohol, nightly live entertainment, and non-motorized water sports, then Galley Bay Resort & spa is the place for you. Not surprisingly, 75% of the guests at Galley Bay are repeat visitors, and their 5-star reviews don’t lie! We just can’t say enough about this little slice of paradise, where they take fantastic care of you from the moment you arrive and are greeted with a welcome cocktail and cool towel. This resort is always uncrowded, which is what we love most about it, but the week we just spent there (July 29- August 5) was during the low season, and occupancy was only 45%!! The only downside to this was that the restaurants rotated each day and were not all open all at the same time, but that was more than compensated for by the fact that we practically had the entire resort to ourselves, thereby receiving even more personalized attention- including made to order food at times that wasn’t even on the menu. Absolute heaven!! If you’re celebrating an anniversary, I highly recommend the private beach dinner. We were so glad we did this, as it was an absolutely lovely experience, and so romantic. We even received a printed copy of our personalized menu to keep as a souvenir! Shout out to our awesome server Charmar, and to Alaska, who went above and beyond to ensure our experience was the best it could be, and to resort manager Cedric, who makes each guest feel like they are his most important priority. We can’t wait to plan our next trip, and we definitely won’t be waiting 10 years this time! There is seriously no better value for the money in the entire Caribbean. Book your trip today… I promise you won’t be sorry!

From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. Every team member we encountered was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating—truly making us feel at home. The beaches are picture-perfect with crystal-clear water (great for snorkeling, gear is provided in every room). The entire property is beautifully maintained and impeccably clean overlooking the beach and hills. There is a ton of activities including biking, touring the farm, and water sports. The spa was beautiful and reasonably priced. Every meal was delicious and fresh (directly from their on-site farm). Dining at Galley Bay felt like a true culinary experience. We can't wait to return!

Just back from 11 glorious days in Galley Bay. This was our first, but definitely not our last visit to the resort. We stayed in a superior delux beach front room which was a single storey room. The room was spacious and was spotlessly clean, big thanks to the cleaning staff. In the room there was a kettle and coffee machine as well as a fridge. Tea, coffee and milk were restocked every day as well as the fridge being topped up with water, sodas, beer and our choice of wine! The room opened out into a private patio with sun loungers and a shower. Each room has their own sun loungers and parasol on the beach as well. Lovely bathroom with 2 sinks and 2 showers which were fully stocked with all toiletries. Also a large walk in wardrobe in the bathroom. The 3 restaurants on site were excellent, great variety of food, superbly prepared and presented. Ismays has a surcharge but worth every penny, so good we went twice, such a lovely setting. The staff are incredible, Chef Jerimah and Cedric were there chatting with everyone at breakfast. Sadi with her beautiful smile made us feel so welcome. The Teepee bar is lovely to sit and enjoy a cocktail with the stunning view. We also did Dine by Deisgn to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. I can’t thank Chef Guvan enough, he met with us to talk through our menu, our likes and dislikes and designed the menu around us. The Pavilion was made so pretty for our meal, we stared with champagne on the beach at sunset and then had the most amazing meal cooked there by Chef Guvan and Chef Jerimah. Dasani was our waiter for the evening, he is just the nicest guy ever. They made our anniversary so special for us. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and made our holiday extra enjoyable., especially Joan in Guest Services, such a lovely lady. Beautiful beach resort for couples, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for a visit.
