Clean, Quiet, Excellent Beach, Friendly and Pleasant staff.
4.0 / 5.0
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.
4.0 / 5.0
We give the Galley Bay a 8/10. This was a beautiful resort, we stayed at the Gauguin Suite and it was so private and the pool was amazing. We saw some reviews complaint about the smell and we did smell it but I wasn’t so bad. The food was also AMAZING. However, the service really was not good. It felt like we were bothering servers by asking for a drink. I had to call room service three times and wait two days to get our fridge to be refilled. We waited so long at some of the restaurants too. I just don’t see us going back because of service and not a welcoming atmosphere. Everything else was great tho!

This property is great if you are looking for a nice relaxing beach. The beaches were the best I’ve ever seen in my life so quite no waves in the summer. Shower floors were not good and we stayed in the Gauguin suites which was great we were in the back very secluded. Only problem with the suite was the smell coming from the pond. There was also a lot of bugs in the small pool so we never even went in. The food was the best food I’ve ever had on any vacation in my life. Ismays restaurant will always be what I compare other restaurants to for the rest of my life I’m not even joking it was that good. Don’t come here if ur looking to party u go to beach u eat u go to sleep but all in all it was an unreal experience and I strongly suggest going. Eating all outside is a little tough when it’s that hot but worth it to go during dead season. You will never find a better beach/ocean.

Galley Bay is a very nice place to relax. The all inclusive experience offers everything needed to truly unwind. Most of the staff are kind and hospitable, but some did not seem as excited as others.
5.0 / 5.0
Staff was incredible, except for one bartender who just wouldn't smile. Our room was perfect, right on the beach. The food was exceptional, which isn't always the case in an all-inclusive. The menus varied every night, were very innovative and the food delicious. The resort is in the process of upgrading some of their rooms which was needed. I rated the surrounding areas a bit low because they had some sewage/filtration areas that weren't treated and left lingering smells throughout certain parts of the resort. That should definitely be addressed. Overall, it was an awesome experience and we would definitely go back.

The property was absolutely gorgeous and the staff are so friendly and fun. The only change I would suggest is to have more staff available at the pool area for bar service. The bar was very close so we were able to get our own drinks but that would be my only suggestion.
It was our first trip to Galley Bay but it will not be the last!

We loved Galley Bay and would definitely be back.
The staff was very nice and friendly, the property is clean and easy to navigate. It’s worth trying the restaurant with the surcharge, the food was delicious. The room was clean and had the best A/C we’ve ever experienced in a hotel/resort. Room was also spacious and comfortable overall.

The pristine beach, walking out from our room onto the sand and into the sea to snorkel with so many fish was amazing! All food was delicious and there were so many options. Staff were super friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend and would love to go back!
5.0 / 5.0
We celebrated our 5-year anniversary at Galley Bay at the end of May/beginning of June. We’d like to celebrate benchmark years and our stay at Galley Bay exceeded our already high expectations. It was the perfect stay to mark the occasion (and it would for any other, really).
Taking the taxi from the airport was no fuss, but don’t worry about how Antiguans drive - it’s how they drive here and it works. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a Rum Punch and a beautiful view down the bridge that crosses over the lagoon. The grounds are exquisitely manicured and a bike ride or walk is recommended. Our room was clean, on the sand, and literally opened to the water. Nothing beats waking up with a view of the beautiful bay and rocks on the distance. Facilities were well-kept for a coastal property. Restaurants were comfortable and had beautiful views onto the bay.
(Review is brief - Expedia’s word limit.) When it comes to staff, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will say not to expect every staff member to be overly eager to serve you, but they will still get the job done. Watersports guys were great. Tafari treated us extremely well. Ebony from the farm was amazing. Captain Sean’s outings are a must! And Shirley Heights is a great party atmosphere and an amazing view. Ismay’s is exquisite. Food all-around was delicious. Keep in mind that this is the perfect place to relax, not party, though there is live music nightly. Snorkeling in the bay is great.

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!

This property and the staff was nice. There isn’t a lot to do at this resort. The people that stay at this hotel are mostly older white couples. You can not play any music at the pool. There is no music playing at the bar. Men have to wear collared shirts and pants to dinner or they will have to get room service. Dinner seems like it took a long time each night. So if you want a quiet stay with not a lot of things to do then this resort is for you. If you are of color and under the age of 55 you wouldn't like this resort. It gave more of a retirement home vibe but it is a beautiful resort and the rooms are very nice and the staff was very helpful and nice. The only entertainment at this resort was a band or a singer at 9 to 10. Other than that no entertainment

We had a very nice stay. The only complaint we had was that there was no atm so we couldn’t tip the staff.

The beach was unbeatable. The sand was great, no rocks. The water was beautiful, warm and turquoise. Plenty of chairs and umbrellas on the beach. Service was a bit slow at times but we weren’t in a rush. Some areas had sewage smell wafting. Need to improve the sanitation in that regard.

We were looking for a quiet completely relaxing week. It could not have been better. Definitely not a party crowd, thank goodness, but perfect for what we wanted on every level. Staff, food, beach, room — nothing but positives. Eagerly looking forward to our next visit. Beautiful.

I love that we woke up each morning to the beautiful Caribbean Sea, bright blue skies but also we could walk through the tropical fauna.
The resort was spotless and the staff could not be more welcoming and caring.

The view was incredible. The beach/sand was very clean and well taken care of. The food was delicious. Most of the people were very nice and welcoming. There were a few hostesses and waitstaff that were NOT very good to us. We paid extra for the romantic dinner on the beach, which was our 40th wedding anniversary, and the staff that waited on us were very inattentive. Our glasses were empty of the drinks/ water we’re having. Our food took a long time to come. The food was delicious when we did get it. But the person made us feel that we were too much trouble for her to stay focused on us. All the other guests that were eating there (did not pay extra to be there) were getting better service than us. So we thought we would try again in Ismay’s fine dining, which again we paid extra for, was bad service again. We were there almost 2 hours and were sitting with our glasses empty and our food very late in coming to us.There were other couples arriving later than us and were getting their food before us. It made us feel that we had done something to make them mad at us. We will consider coming back here but we would warn other guests to not pay the extra money for the special dinners, since our experience was mot what we expected.

Galley Bay was simply magical! The beachfront location was gorgeous, quiet, and even more beautiful than the photos from their site. The staff was friendly and warm each day and I felt very safe and welcome, even as a solo traveler. I found the knowledgeable staff at Guest Services especially helpful for arranging excursions and activities. I would stay at Galley Bay again in a heartbeat.

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.
2.5 / 5.0
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!
