We stayed for our honeymoon in the off season. The resort was quiet and the beach was pristine. There were limited dining options and things weren’t always open when expected. Our suite was clean and comfortable, but lacked the charm you’d expect from a highly rated resort. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The food was very good.

Room was sparkling clean, service (food and drinks) was second to none I’ve ever experienced and the property overall was beautiful. Private beach so no locals bothering you trying to sell you stuff. We never ventured off the property to explore more of the island because we never felt the need to. Menus for lunch and dinner change daily. Breakfast was almost the same every morning with a few changes but there are plenty of options so in 5 days I had 5 completely different breakfast experiences. If you’re looking for a younger/party scene this probably isn’t your place. We are a younger couple but enjoyed the slower/quieter pace of Galley Bay.

A piece of paradise...!

Simply the best holiday we ever had! As a couple in our mid forties we managed to get away as a couple without our children for a week and Galley Bay Hotel was amazing! Beautiful location with one of the best beaches on Antigua, and in early August 2023 we almost had 3/4 of a mile of sand to ourselves, so peaceful and quiet. Staff were really friendly and all genuinely cared about your stay. Food incredible for every meal. Everything was included which was refreshing. No buffets for luch or dinner. No queues for food you had immediate personal service with a smile and "you're welcome"! Free watersports and yoga. Live band every night. Beautiful beach front room. The best holiday we ever experienced!

The beach was beautiful and swimmable, with emerald blue water at the perfect temperature (cool enough to refresh, but not enough to chill). The staff were wonderful throughout, including the wait staff at all 3 restaurants (shout-outs to Ivy at the Barefoot Grill, Samantha at the Sea Grape and Dwight and Amanda at Ismay's), the staff at the watersports pavilion (shout-outs to Nequan, Tafary and particularly Shiloh, who was especially helpful on the Hobie Cats), housekeeping and even the groundskeepers. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! The food was very good all around, and there was plenty of variety, even from day to day. They have the freshest fish and seafood! Gaugin's is the perfect spot for lunch or dinner, with a grand yet private view of the ocean from your table. The room was very spacious, clean and attractive. The outside shower (for after a dip at the beach) was a nice touch. This is our 2nd time there, the first time being several years ago, and it lived up to our memories! We'll be back for sure!

Galley Bay Resort is absolutely gorgeous. It is almost as if you have the beach to yourself. The staff is the most friendly and accommodating we have ever experienced. The food in any of the restaurants is exceptional and the food service is superb. Our room was large and very comfortable right on the beach. The water is crystal clear and has rolling waves that are fun. There are some areas to snorkel off the beach but when we stayed, the waves were keeping the water too cloudy to snorkel. The resort did shuttle us to a calm bay where we were able to snorkel a bit. Not the best snorkeling we have experienced, but we took a 4-hour sail and snorkel trip with Captain Sean which was fantastic. But there are many other activities available: the pool with a waterfall is relaxing and there are water sports offered such as sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Tennis, volleyball, ping pong, a pool table, bicycling, and croquet are also offered as is a daily yoga class. The resort caters to adults only and there is a relaxed and mature feel to the place. We met many other couples and made friends easily. If you are seeking a beautiful place to completely relax with a touch of elegance, this is your resort!
