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.

Wonderful resort
Not worth the price point

The resort is very beautiful and well laid out. We loved our room, just steps to the beach and ocean, simply gorgeous. We loved listening to the ocean as we went to sleep. Where Galley Bay falls short of thier top tier claim, however, is in the food. It is simply mediocre. There are three restaurants to choose from, we ate at two, and both were…

The resort is very beautiful and well laid out. We loved our room, just steps to the beach and ocean, simply gorgeous. We loved listening to the ocean as we went to sleep. Where Galley Bay falls short of thier top tier claim, however, is in the food. It is simply mediocre. There are three restaurants to choose from, we ate at two, and both were just ok. The staff was hit or miss. Some people were very friendly, while others seemed like our requests or questions were bothersome. For the price, we certainly would choose another all-inclusive next time. When we arrived, we asked guest services for two requests that were never followed up on. The nightly live music was a nice touch, although it is a much older crowd. This was not a problem, just something to note. I will add that the spa is spectacular. We had a couples massage in a beautiful outdoor hut with outstanding massage therapists. Overall, the trip was very pricey for the service and food provided.

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 to 'trade up' unless you have mobility issues on the steps (which can be a little slippery when it rain showers). All the food was a la carte (with the exception of a small number of breakfast items) and the service was always friendly and prompt. There is plenty of space to relax - designated loungers on the beach in front of the room and always space around the pool. Galley Bay truly feels like a place where you can rest assured that everything is taken care of in a super-chilled atmosphere. It's under-stated luxury and truly a stunning location. We will surely be back again!

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.

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 excellent. Breakfast was simple but tasty, we had a beautiful meal in Ismays once, and generally ate at Gaugaun (for the breeze and elevated experience) but did love SeaGrape too. The seaside shack was great for lunch and the coffee shop was a great bonus. I really feel for men having to wear trousers, such a shame they can't wear smart shorts.
Cocktails were fantastic, being picky the inclusive wine could have been q little better but the cocktails were great. The rum shack was excellent, and we had many a wonderful evening doing different tastings. Although as it wasn't open every night if a slightly better sipping rum could be available in the main bars that would be perfection!
The pool was lovely and we always managed to get good loungers, and no hogging! Pool and beach service was excellent.
We stayed in a Premium Beach room, with a balcony which we loved, room 18. Our sea view was slightly obstructed by the seagrape trees but we still loved it. The housekeeping and replenishment of the mini bar was outstanding. An extra bottle of fizz for our anniversary and our anniversary cake was a lovely touch.
The sea was really rough and red carded our entire stay, which meant we didn't get to use the water sports which was a shame. If your a confident able swimmer you could still go in, but clearly a risk. My husband did most days...I went once and absolutely got taken out by a wave (although wave jumping was fun lol), so please be warned. Whilst it was a shame it didn't detract from a wonderful holiday
Most of the guests were significantly older as well, which also leant to a very quite vibe.
The evening entertainment sounded great although we were so shattered...or at the rum bar lol that we didn't really make the most of it.
The spa was outstanding too, and we loved our treatments.
Finally, we had lots of opportunities to walk and wonder up and down the length of the resort, which we loved (but golf mini carts are available if needed). We loved this resort and will absolutely be back!
