Paradise!
This was our 12th visit to Galley Bay and it did not disappoint! The staff are amazing. While the location (the white sand beach and turquoise water is to die for!) and the amenities are phenomenal, the staff play a key role in our enjoyment and our desire to return again and again. The team is led by the seasoned…
Fourth Visit Did Not Disappoint
We stayed in a Superior Deluxe Beachfront Room for the Fourth Time and it was Great 👍 The food actually keeps on getting better, if that is possible. Some of my personal favorites were the yellow fin tuna, roasted BBQ Pork, all the fruit , and the pastries. The croissants & pain au chocolat were Beyond Excellent 👍 Each night…

Heaven on Earth
This is the perfect place to come, relax, eat, drink and be merry. Most rooms are open and few steps to the gorgeous beach with your private lounge chairs, umbrellas (if you wish) and beach towels. Its all inclusive so plenty of amazing food, drinks, desserts are available from morning to after midnight. Its adults only so kids will not…
Just Fantastic
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Galley Bay is just so consistently great. This was our 10th visit and it was so relaxing and enjoyable as always. We noticed that the menu was expanded, and as usual, our room was spotless all week, and the grounds were beautiful. If you just want to get away to paradise…
Fabulous Stay
Our 1st visit and were here for 9 nights. Lovely welcome upon arrival with cold towels provided along with a glass of champagne. Nice touch. We had prebooked a private taxi from the airport as we were aware that there could be long lines otherwise. We used Natasha's Taxis and would thoroughly recommend. Very reasonably priced, nice vehicles and punctual…
Best place to destress and enjoy beautiful Antigua
Galley Bay is extraordinary. My brothers and our spouses went for six glorious nights to Antigua and Galley Bay. My husband and visited 13 years ago and were hoping this would be as good as it was then. We were not disappointed. We stayed in unit #10 where we were in the sand as soon as we opened our door.…
All about the beach
Galley Bay is located on an amazing beach with crystal clear water and fine golden sand. The resort is all about the beach. The rooms are for the most part in 4 roomed villas spread along the large sandy beach. They are very spacious and well appointed with huge bathrooms. Each room has a dedicated umbrella and sunbed beds right…
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.…
