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.

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.

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
