We are just back from this wonderful hotel after our 10th stay. Needless to say we return year on year because this place is truly special with a capital "S". From the gardening staff to housekeepers, waiting staff ,management et al, everyone goes the extra mile to make your stay here as special as it can be. We got married... More

My partner took me away to Antigua to celebrate a rather large birthday recently. We traveled around all over the place, but Galley Bay was definitely the best beach we came across. The water was clear, and the surroundings were out of this world. There were small concessions along the beach if you wanted to buy trinkets /gifts to take... More

was fantastic anyway! Beach: Stunning. The sand is white and powdery. We didn't have any rough surf days at all. There are some rocks in some spots, but not so much that you need to wear shoes or anything in the water. However, there's some really incredible snorkeling down at the far ends of the cove because of this. The... More

Wow, what an incredible place to stay! I have to say that overall, this was one of the best vacations we've ever been on. If you want a place that is all inclusive but small enough to be a boutique hotel, you've found it! Beach: Stunning. The sand is white and powdery. We didn't have any rough surf days at... More

Our second visit here- this time we brought some friends. The place is as beautiful as ever and they made several really nice improvements since our last visit. They added a great beach snack shack where you can grab a burger or a cuban or grilled fish while in your bathing trunks from noon till 4 which avoids the formality... More

We went to Galley Bay for 10 days for our daughter's wedding (which was the only one while we were there-no production line!), we had a lovely stay & were made to feel special. The resort is very spacious with 40 acres of superb tropical gardens. It never felt busy despite being full-always sunbeds available on the beach & round... More

We have just spent another great two weeks at this lovely resort. From the moment you arrive you are welomed " back home". Nothing is too much trouble for any of the wonderful staff,whatever you want they will do their best to get it for you. We decided to do the garden walk around the grounds of the hotel again... More

It does not seem possible to edit or update an existing review, and so we are writing this as an update. The management at Galley Bay saw my wife's assessment and have responded extremely rapidly to help address the issues we had faced, in a very impressive manner, providing all the necessary care and attention for her dietary requirements. We... More

I have just returned from the Galey Bay Resort today 13th May so I am slightly perplexed at two recent reviews that appear to be written at the same time that we were there. Sorry people but the weather is outwith the control of the management - live with it. To call this resort a "Caribbean Benidorm" is extremely unfair.... More

Overall we had an excellent time at Galley Bay and would return. The beach is lovely, well kept. We stayed in a beach front premium suite on the ground floor, which suited us because you could walk out the door right on to the beach. The people were friendly and helpful. The food was good, the breakfast and lunch menus... More
