Just back from 11 glorious days in Galley Bay. This was our first, but definitely not our last visit to the resort. We stayed in a superior delux beach front room which was a single storey room. The room was spacious and was spotlessly clean, big thanks to the cleaning staff. In the room there was a kettle and coffee machine as well as a fridge. Tea, coffee and milk were restocked every day as well as the fridge being topped up with water, sodas, beer and our choice of wine! The room opened out into a private patio with sun loungers and a shower. Each room has their own sun loungers and parasol on the beach as well. Lovely bathroom with 2 sinks and 2 showers which were fully stocked with all toiletries. Also a large walk in wardrobe in the bathroom. The 3 restaurants on site were excellent, great variety of food, superbly prepared and presented. Ismays has a surcharge but worth every penny, so good we went twice, such a lovely setting. The staff are incredible, Chef Jerimah and Cedric were there chatting with everyone at breakfast. Sadi with her beautiful smile made us feel so welcome. The Teepee bar is lovely to sit and enjoy a cocktail with the stunning view. We also did Dine by Deisgn to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. I can’t thank Chef Guvan enough, he met with us to talk through our menu, our likes and dislikes and designed the menu around us. The Pavilion was made so pretty for our meal, we stared with champagne on the beach at sunset and then had the most amazing meal cooked there by Chef Guvan and Chef Jerimah. Dasani was our waiter for the evening, he is just the nicest guy ever. They made our anniversary so special for us. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and made our holiday extra enjoyable., especially Joan in Guest Services, such a lovely lady. Beautiful beach resort for couples, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for a visit.

10 days in Paradise We have just returned from an amazing 10 days at Galley Bay Resort and Spa This was the first time visiting Antigua but it won’t be the last. We were celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary and we can’t thank Galley Bay enough for what they did to help us celebrate. We were taken to our room by the ever happy Dante, a beautiful Premium Beachfront Suite which was huge. A ground floor room which opened out onto the pristine beach with your own sun loungers on the patio as well as two designated loungers under a parasol on the beach. It’s a nice walk to the restaurants and bars at either end of the resort going through beautifully kept gardens with exotic flowers and shrubs. If it’s raining they will happily drive you to one of the restaurants in a golf buggy and pick you up after if needed. The Sea Grape Restaurant which is the main restaurant is open every day is on the beachfront. Great breakfasts and amazing food for dinner. The menu changes every day in all the restaurants which is something we have never had in any other hotel. Galley Bay is a small hotel with 98 rooms but it provides high class 5* luxury and has that very personal touch. The staff are so friendly and welcoming and always smiling. They love to help and ensure your stay is memorable. The managers and chefs are not hidden away in offices like a lot of hotels but out meeting guests as it should be. On the day of our anniversary we had a bottle of champagne, cheese plater and macaroons delivered to our room which was a lovely surprise. Our celebratory meal on the beach that evening was planned by Jerimiah, the head chef and Vincent was our waiter who was wonderful keeping our glasses filled and entertained throughout. There was no better way to celebrate our special day than at Galley Bay. So many people to thank and will be seeing again when we return but Tunisia who cleaned our room was wonderful, always chatting and laughing. Everyone in the hotel was so good and what comes across loud and clear is that they want to be there. It was good to see many of the staff dancing to the entertainment and having a good time and why not, they deserve it as they work so hard. We were lucky to see some turtles hatching on the beach one evening and you can see how they protect and monitor this having a robust conservation programme in place. Again everyone is involved in protecting this lovely island. We can truly say that this is the best hotel we have stayed at and the memory of our first visit will stay with us a long time. We will be back as soon as possible to have even memories of this stunning place. It was sad to leave but as they said you have to leave to be able to come back…and we will.

Wow, we could not have been more impressed with Galley Bay. My husband and I spent our honeymoon here and from the moment we were shown around by Alfred we were taken care of. The food was amazing, staff was awesome (special shout out to Pearl, Aaliyah, Vaughn, Alfred). Also, Cedric was welcoming, accommodating and a great host. We ran on the running trail every morning, used the gym, kayaked, laid on the beach, etc. We could not get enough of all the features Galley Bay has to offer. Mostly everyone we met stayed at Galley Bay before and we can surely see why they returned. We can’t wait to come back!

This was our eight visit to Galley Bay and and the resort just gets better. The food once again was wonderful and seems to improve year on year (but as always been excellent). The staff are always attentive and nothing is too much trouble for any of them, there are too many too mention but a big thank you to everyone, it is you that make the resort so enjoyable. We stayed in a beachfront room so literally 20 metres from the sea, the room was kept spotless throughout our stay with the fridge topped up everyday. Once again a huge thank you to everyone at Galley Bay for another memorable stay.

We stayed for 2 very special weeks in June 2025 at #galleybayresort and it was wonderful. The premium oceanfront accommodation was fabulous , we had our own beach sunbeds and parasol and Vincent would happily bring us anything we wanted from the bar. Crystal blue clear warm sea a few steps away. We were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary and had a magical time. Thank you Cedric, Bri, Stuart, Tina and Vaughan and all of the Galley Bay Resort family. You made us feel very special x
