Read the reviews and you won’t be disappointed
It’s hard to find fault. What we love is the sit down service in every restaurant, served in the main by delightful staff. There is the odd one that can be a bit grumpy but most are amazingly helpful, cheerful and know their stuff. Often people react to how they are spoken to. The food is very good, and beautifully…
Wonderful resort
Beautiful resort. Amazing garden. Good served food so not for buffet devotees. Gauguin restaurant has great food for every meal and the other ones as well! Great choice.
Just amazing! Go here if you can.
Our third visit to Galley Bay and ten years since our last. Our stay was everything we remembered from last time and more. We had a Deluxe Seafront room (on the first floor). This was beautifully specified and the outlook over the beach and bay were amazing. Other accommodation is available but frankly we wouldn't advise that you pay extra…
Awesome Resort!
This is a top notch hotel in Antigua! We stayed 8 nights and everything was lovely! The hotel grounds were immaculate; the staff very friendly and welcoming. The room itself cannot be beat - very spacious and clean. The food and drinks were amazing! I will definitely return here in the future. Big shout out to: Benita Ingia Sadie Nayma…
Gorgeous GB
We absolutely loved GBR and can see why so many people visit and return so much. The resort itself is beautifully maintained (do the garden tour it is fabulous) and the service was generally brilliant-friendly, kind and professional). The food was fantastic. Every meal was beautifully presented and absolutely delcious. We didnt have an average meal there, it was all…

Beautiful, Relaxing, 5* Resort
We have just returned from two weeks at Galley Bay - you certainly won't be disappointed if you visit here. We had the most relaxing two weeks ever! The resort is fantastic. We stayed in a Premium Beachfront Suite which is worth every penny, it is kept spotless by housekeeping each day and fridge restocked with beer/wine/water/cokes. We loved being…
Fabulously relaxing trip
Wonderful rooms really get on the beach. Great food and fun bands. Staff was excellent. !Due to unfortunate circumstances we had to leave 2 days early. Hope to come back again
Unbeatable beach with great couples amenities.
If you are looking for a pristine beach with amazing rooms and a low key getaway, I don't think you can do better than Galley Bay. First and foremost, the beach is unbelievable. It is so clear and we never had a red flag day for the 4 days we were there. I could have spent all day in the…
Will exceed your expectations
This is my first time writing a review for any resort. My wife and I stayed a week at Galley Bay Resort in one of their Premium Beach Front Suites. We had never been to Antigua. From the moment we arrived, it exceeded our expectation. The room was fantastic. The weather was fantastic. The beach was fantastic. The food was…
A Truly Wonderful Caribbean Experience
We had an exceptional stay at Galley Bay over Christmas 2025. The management and staff at the resort are what make this place so welcoming and relaxing. The rooms are beautiful and clean and are serviced every day. The food in all three restaurants is outstanding and the bar staff mix the most amazing cocktails (and anything you might like…
Spectacular Galley Bay
Galley Bay is a beautiful resort with a great beach and watersports crew with a matching spectacular dining and bar service. Everyone who works here is beyond helpful and kind. It feels like home. New Year’s Eve was a wonderful evening filled with wonderful food, music, drinks and fireworks on the beach. When air space became suddenly closed reception went…
Home from home.
What a gem. Lovely setting - in addition to the beach, the hotel has extensive grounds with lush tropical gardens, big lagoon an organic farm and even a tortoise sanctuary! Definitely enough to do and a buggy to take you around if you don't want to walk The rooms are spacious with the beach just outside your room. Despite the…
Pricey but sooo worth it!
Stayed Dec 25 - Jan 1 in room 4. Let’s get the cons out of the way as most of us just want to know that anyway. Bugs; you’re on a Caribbean island so expect to see a few bugs here and there. Nothing too crazy, just the normal ants, spiders and such. Mosquitoes were out in the evening so…
Wonderful Relaxing Vacation to end November 2025.
Just back from 11 wonderful, relaxing days at Galley Bay. This was our first, but definitely not our last visit to the resort. We stayed in a superior deluxe beach front room #15, which was a single-story room. The room was spacious and was spotlessly clean, big thanks to the cleaning staff. In the room there was a coffee machine…
Idyllic location and a great hotel
Galley BAy is near perfect with beautiful location, great rooks, great food, great beach, amazing staff. The main issue is in the winter the sea has big waves and surf and the red flag is on nearly all the time. It can be dangerous to go in the water since you can get knocked over. All the restaurants are good…
Wonderful resort, made so special by the amazing staff! A real paradise.
First time to Galley Bay and can understand why there are so many ‘returners’. Resort was amazing. We were in a wonderful Beachfront Suite. Food was brilliant, great choice and amazing quality (Met Executive Chef many times, lovely man), plus extensive drinks choice. Yoga brilliant, thanks to the lovely Mackenzie. Watersports team a credit to you, the lovely Shiloh was…
Utterly fantastic
An absolutely exquisite ,upscale boutique resort in Antigua WI. The vibe is expensive rustic , tucked into a tropical island experience. If you want cool/hip or a place to show off your designer duds and purses, THIS place is NOT it. But , if you want a serene retreat experience this is the place. Adult only, all inclusive resort. I…
Winter Break
We went as a family with two older daughters. We arrived and waited too long for our room and without any welcome drink or explanation. Rooms were nice although rooms 70-88 were towards the end of the resort and lost the sun before 5pm. Food was good. Breakfast was great with a mix of buffet and served. Lunch was good.…
Another perfect stay - in this incredibly beautiful location
From the moment we arrived till the moment we left we felt at home …… A wonderful location - fabulous staff who could not do enough for us - our room was very comfortable - not the one we asked for but still a great view - food and drink excellent as always and not to much liquid sunshine!! Which…
Exceptional
Exceptional resort. Adults only. Fabulous food, ambience, staff and activities. Such a friendly vibe here, our second visit and another one hopefully on the cards!
Outstanding Service, Incredible Dining, and a Special Thanks to Alaska
From day one until our final meal, the service was outstanding. The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, and I can’t speak highly enough of their work ethic. The food also exceeded our expectations, and the surcharge for dining at Ismay’s was absolutely worth it—we enjoyed it so much that we went twice. There are countless other positives we could…

Galley Bay Simply superb
Galley bay is that perfect collision of laid back charm with superb service. The food is wonderful and can I just give a special mention to the salads! Grown on their own site they are delicious as was everything else. Menus change daily with lovely fish and meat specials across all restaurants. Big shout out to Sea Grape, it’s the…
Don’t hesitate to book this place
Our 2nd visit to Galley Bay ..and it was as good as our first. The accommodation is relaxing and beautifully done - the air conditioner is a godsend. Walk out your door onto sand and steps to the turquoise water. The food is good to quite good. The vibe is super friendly and professional. Everything has been thought of to…
It's become a home away from home.
What can I say as we are back to reality from our 5th visit since 2022. We always feel like this is going home and can't thank our Antiguan friends for the amazing time had. We stayed in one of the newly updated Premium suites on the Ismay's side of the property and loved it more than our last trip.…
