“When can I go back?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012

I have just returned from an amazing weekend at the Galiano Inn and I am already plotting my next trip back. I purchased the Romance Package (HIGHLY recommended) as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, and we decided to book for the May long weekend. We took our bikes over and the Inn couldn't have been easier to get to... More

Can we hire this reviewer as a publicist?? She has done a fabulous job writing about every part of our business, and we are just as thrilled that she was thrilled with her excellent stay. What a lovely testament to the hard work of all of our staff. We enjoy having everyone stay at the Inn, but it's especially gratifying... More

“A Wonderful Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

This is a lovely island resort. The front desk staff are welcoming, friendly and professional. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in the restaurant; high quality food, excellent textures, tastes and presentation with generous portions. The inn and grounds are quiet and peaceful with tranquil gardens. We enjoyed a relaxing mineral flotation bath and yoga session. We highly recommend this resort... More

“A place for everyone!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2012

This island resort has everything but the tranquility and proximity to Vancouver is the best kept secret of this island paradise! The Galiano Inn offers a wide variety of things to do and enjoy and Conny (the boss lady) can let you know all about it. I walked on to the ferry since it's only 5 minutes from the terminal... More

Yes, we ARE the best kept secret for quick getaways from Vancouver. I do agree with you!! SO close. But to be honest? We would like just a "few" more people to know about us and come visit us.

“dinner portions lacking”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 April 2012

We went for dinner with a large group to celebrate a special occasion (over 10 of us). The food was very good, but we ended up going to McDonald's afterwards because we were still hungry! Normally when you order prime rib, you get a large thick piece of meat, they must have cut that in have, you got a large... More

This review surprises all of us at the Inn: as I read other reviews, guests are very happy with the size of the portions. We did talk to this group as they were leaving, and the guests we spoke to were very, very happy with their special occasion, and raved about the food and the restaurant. We had even opened... More

“Family Celebration”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 April 2012

The owner, Connie, couldn't have been more hospitable. She came to the edge of the dock to pick up our 85 year old mother and took her and our luggage back to the resort. It is a very short walk to the resort and we chose to walk and enjoy the ocean air. Connie couldn't have been more helpful and... More

Hello and greetings from Galiano Island. We love return guests, and always want to make their second (or third, or fourth) stay even more excellent than the first. And it is so easy with such wonderful guests as you and your family (we definitely recognize the review from the Nunavut connection!). We pride ourselves on our great staff, and we... More

We recently had our wedding at Galiano Inn and it was perfect! I don't even know where to start...the location of the Inn is fantastic and the rooms are beautiful. A few of us stayed in the Villas - gorgeous views and loved the jetted tub and fireplace on the patio. Our families also stayed in the Queen/King rooms and... More

“Stunning view!”

This hotel is wonderful! The rooms are clean and beautifully appointed with a spectacular view of the ocean. What a way to wake up each morning!

A beautifully located resort where you can leave your car in Vancouver and just hop on a ferry and then just walk directly to the resort. The food was absolutely delicous and the Spa out of this world! You simply have to visit and see for yourself.

We spent two nights at the Galiano Inn & Spa and we were not disappointed with the friendly hospitality and relaxing atmosphere of this little getaway retreat. Our ferry to Galiano was actually canceled on the day we planned to arrive, but the receptionist was able to accommodate us, and bump our reservation back a day. She also rescheduled our... More
