Galley Bay was amazing!! Everything from the day of our arrival to the day of our departure was excellent. The resort, the room, the food, the service, a perfect 10. It's definitely not like a Sandals, there is no swim up bar or music playing throughout the resort. But if you're looking for a place to unwind, relax and watch... More

We stayed over a year ago, so I don't know how it has changed since then, but we had an absolutely wonderful holiday and couldn't recommend this resort highly enough. Having also stayed at Blue Waters and Hermitage Bay in Antigua, I would say that Galley Bay is slightly larger than both, and subsequently a little busier. A very friendly... More

We have just returned from 2 glorious weeks at GBR and had an amazing time. Our superior beach front accommodation was fabulous and opening the door onto that wonderful beach with the sea about 40 yards away was breathtaking. We enjoyed eating at the sea grape and never had a problem with getting drinks, but Ismays is something else, fine... More

I will discuss both Hermitage bay and Galley Bay, as we stayed at both during our honeymoon. Hbay rating: 5 star Galley: 4 star First let me say we enjoyed both immensely. Galley Bay is a little bigger and has a little more to do (has 3 separate restaurants vs just 1 at Hermitage), but Hermitage is overall a nicer... More

Just got back from a quick getaway to Galley Bay. The weather was perfect, the beach was calm and magnificent, a perfect shade of Caribbean blue- it was everything we could have wanted for a quick getaway to recuperate after writing my master's thesis all semester! My husband and I went with the cottages which were very charming and unique.... More

Excellent relaxing hotel, no hassle anywhwere on site, nothing is too much trouble and the guest services desk always have new ideas. People very friendly and helpful, except in the Shop. Food excellent, be sure to eat at least once at Ismay's, worth the extra price for ambience, food and service. Superb beach, excellent pool with no problem of "German... More

We visited Galley Bay as a young couple for a Birthday celebration. Pros are that the hotel is on a glorious stretch of beach, the superior beach front suites are very impressive and the hotel entrance with the bird sanctuary is one of nicest I've seen. After visiting the Caribbean with my family on many occasions- staying in places such... More

We traveled the first week in May. It was a lovely 6 night stay and I actually shed some tears as we were checking out. Here are some things that may help if you decide to stay at GBR. Arriving at the airport was pretty much hassle-free. It is definitely no frills, but customs were easy. There were plenty of... More

This was our first visit to Galley Bay and it exceeded our expectations. Right from the warm welcome on arrival through to the personal thank you from the management at the point of leaving. Galley Bay has the advantage of a very nice location, with the main reception situated at the far side of the lagoon and all the accommodation,... More

My husband and I went to Galley Bay from May 11th to the 18th for our honeymoon and we had a wonderful time. I see some really negative reviews here about food and housing that we really didn’t understand as we thought both were outstanding. 1) Food/Drinks: There are 2 restaurants included in the all inclusive package (Sea Grape and...
