I stayed here for five days, as a writer, seeking a 'retreat' from distractions. I could not have chosen a better place. Only an hour's hop from Vancouver, by ferry, the Galiano Inn makes you feel like you are a world away. Yes, it's picturesquely set on the edge of the ocean, but it's the special touches that make this... more

My husband and I and our small dog were staying there in the late fall of 2006. I was expecting at the time (7 mos). We were the only guests at the Inn and were made feel like we were intruding. We found the owner to be unpleasant to interact with. She was bothered by our dog's barking in the... more

I loved my visit to the Galiano Inn and Spa in April, 2008 I can not wait to return. From the moment I drove up to the resort till the sad moment when I left it was amazing!! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The rooms were great, not only did they look out onto a garden but the ocean... more

WOW what a great place to stay relax and enjoy. I visited the Inn and Spa in October 2007 - the people were very professional and respectful of all my needs it was very refreshing. I enjoyed breakfast in the breakfast dinning room looking out over the Ocean and relaxing over a great cup of coffee and the best muffins... more

We enjoyed our time at the Galiano Inn. Not a whole lot for a ferry foot passenger to see and do once on the island though - I'd think it's a different story for someone with a bike or car. A one-nighter for a young couple will suffice. There are a couple of cafes/restaurants and a few shops a short... more

This is actually two reviews in one. First Review: In June we arrived on opening of the "new" (remodelled) inn at the beginning of their season last year. In fact, we were the very first guests. ...and everything was brand new. We arrived late at night (because the ferry was late), but the lights were on for us, and the... more

We are a fairly easygoing couple in their mid-20s and early-30s who travel often for business and pleasure. Our first stay at the Galiano Inn was summer of 2005. For $299 a night we enjoyed a huge king size bed, soaker bath tub, an amazing view of the ocean and passing BC Ferries, and a gourmet breakfast. Breakfast wasn't served... more

My Husband and I stumbled here after long deliberation about which Gulf Island to visit. WOW! This Inn offered everything a couple would want. The rooms are romantic with fireplaces, sitting area, and the amentities you need. We travel a lot for work and for fun, and we found this to be a jewel of a place. The owners were... more

I had seen the Inn online a couple of years ago and had wanted to visit ever since. I was sorely disappointed. - After sorting out my reservations over a couple of days via e-mail, I tried e-mailing the spa - the main purpose for my visit. No reply. I phoned a couple of days later, got the person I... more
