We have just returned from Galley Bay for the 3rd time and am pleased to confirm it is just as good as it was the first time.
There is so much that has already been said about Galley Bay on trip advisor, we did wonder if adding the extra rooms would deflect from the excellent service but thankfully this is not the case.
We had lunch and evening meal at Ismays the new restaurant and Stuart was as gracious as ever, a really good host and as always a pleasure to talk to, nothing is too much trouble. The food was superb and in a really nice setting.
We stayed in a cottage as we have done previously and really enjoy the rustic setting, I still feel that the bathroom cottage would benefit from air conditioning and feel this would be a very welcome addition.
We travelled with Virgin and did the Virgins Ahoy trip which I would really recommend as its a great way to see the island as well as enjoy the beach and barbeque whilst on board.
The staff and management at Galley bay are quite the most polite and helpful team we have ever met, never failing to smile and always offering help.
Once again Galley Bay well done and thank you for a wonderful holiday and yes Ernistine we willl be back!

We just returned from Galley Bay after a seven night stay. My sister and I were with my parents to celebrate their 51st wedding anniversary. Galley has changed dramatically since I was there in 2000 and 2001. Not only have they added approximately thirty new premium suites, they have also just completed the new "Ismays" restaurant. The room was just beautiful and the grounds are stunning. Excellent spa service and the staff were more than willing to go out of their way for any request. The beach was the most calm I have ever experienced at Galley and we were able to swim without any problem every day. The positives about this resort have already been expressed so I will comment on what I missed. The resort lacks the intimacy of its former self due to the sheer size. After staying at Hermitage Bay last year, I missed the 1:1 service with our room ambassador and the daily beach service. Both resorts served great food, although, The Gauguin was my least favorite which was disappointing because the setting is just gorgeous. Galley Bay now reminds me of Little Dix Bay in Virgin Gorda minus the kids! All this being said, I look forward to returning in the future.

My husband and I stayed at Galley Bay from 25th April till the 9th May.
We arrived at the hotel to be greeted with a nice cool cloth and a cool rum punch. After checking in we were taken to our room stopping on route to be shown where the restaurants and bar was.
On arriving at our deluxe beachfront room (52) we looked round and went out onto the balcony and couldnt believe what a wonderful view we had. Previous reviews have said about the noise of the sea but it was fantastic to wake up to the sound of the sea in the morning and it never kept us awake.
Next the food, all 3 restaurants are al a carte and all the food in the 3 restaurants is prepared to order and couldn't find fault in any of the food. Plenty of wine is served with your meals if you want it.
All the staff are very friendly and nothing seems too much trouble for them. It amazed both us that they even remember your names considering the number of people they must meet.
All in all we had the best holiday we have ever been on and it was totally relaxing and we had such a fantastic holiday we are going to return next year. Wish we was back there now.
Big thank you to all the staff for such a wonderful time in Galley Bay.

This hotel has many strong points although we were not impressed with our room, which consisted of a main room with an "out house". The food was lovely at all of the restaurants but the entertainment should be improved. I was put off by something I saw though. We had rental a car and I thought that we had to pop our trunk before leaving the compound(the car ahead of us did it) but the security smiled and informed us that it was for staff only. This seemed antiquated and humiliating for the staff but I guess it is ok in the developing world. Don't they have better ways of preventing theft there. Anyway the rainforest, English Harbour and St. Johns were beautiful. My wife and I will return to Galley Bay to experience the excellent service.
