We're not all inclusive mega resort type people, but this place catered to everything we needed without coming off as being like a cheap cruise ship...the staff are nice, food was good, and the included waterspouts were great. Adults only is a big plus. Hopefully we'll be back one day.

We just got here yesterday, but thought i would give our first impressions. Beautiful resort, very quiet, beachfront premium suite has direct view on ocean, we lulled ourselves to sleep with ocean waves last night. The food so far is excellent, as is the service, and staff! Love the chaise lounge on my balcony! Love the cute adirondack chairs on... More

we just got back from Galley Bay. Our first time visiting Antigua. All of the reviews were right on when we arrived. I would have to say the Best thing about this trip was the people who worked there and our room. I have never been on vacation where everyone i mean everyone was so friendly and kind. We were...

We have just returned from the most fantastic holiday at Galley Bay in Antigua. This was our second holiday there - stayed there in 2004. The hotel is in a beautiful setting with most rooms fronted by lovely manicured pathways and gardens on one side and the other peeking out of palm and sugar grape trees to the most lovely... More

Galley Bay was amazing!! Everything from the day of our arrival to the day of our departure was excellent. The resort, the room, the food, the service, a perfect 10. It's definitely not like a Sandals, there is no swim up bar or music playing throughout the resort. But if you're looking for a place to unwind, relax and watch... More

We stayed over a year ago, so I don't know how it has changed since then, but we had an absolutely wonderful holiday and couldn't recommend this resort highly enough. Having also stayed at Blue Waters and Hermitage Bay in Antigua, I would say that Galley Bay is slightly larger than both, and subsequently a little busier. A very friendly... More

We have just returned from 2 glorious weeks at GBR and had an amazing time. Our superior beach front accommodation was fabulous and opening the door onto that wonderful beach with the sea about 40 yards away was breathtaking. We enjoyed eating at the sea grape and never had a problem with getting drinks, but Ismays is something else, fine... More

I will discuss both Hermitage bay and Galley Bay, as we stayed at both during our honeymoon. Hbay rating: 5 star Galley: 4 star First let me say we enjoyed both immensely. Galley Bay is a little bigger and has a little more to do (has 3 separate restaurants vs just 1 at Hermitage), but Hermitage is overall a nicer... More

Just got back from a quick getaway to Galley Bay. The weather was perfect, the beach was calm and magnificent, a perfect shade of Caribbean blue- it was everything we could have wanted for a quick getaway to recuperate after writing my master's thesis all semester! My husband and I went with the cottages which were very charming and unique.... More

Excellent relaxing hotel, no hassle anywhwere on site, nothing is too much trouble and the guest services desk always have new ideas. People very friendly and helpful, except in the Shop. Food excellent, be sure to eat at least once at Ismay's, worth the extra price for ambience, food and service. Superb beach, excellent pool with no problem of "German... More
