Galley Bay is a lovely resort! We went there on our honeymoon and would recommend staying there! It is a very friendly and peaceful resort!

The staff are brilliant, and are extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean and well presented. The mini bar is topped up every day! Although there are only two restaurants in the resort, the food changes very day with a select of different specials. It is a perfect location for relaxation and peace and quiet!

Took my wife for her 40th without the kids and i have got to say it is the best place i've ever been to. Like anything else, food, location etc is important but for me the most pleasing aspect was the people.
As someone else said, Michael has got to be the best maitre'd i have ever come across. We went horse riding through the "shanty town" and never once did i feel threatened.
When the kids get older i will def be coming back to this place - heaven on earth

My husband and I have just returned from spending two of the most relaxing weeks in Galley Bay. We booked a standard Ganguin cottage and looked at the possibility of upgrading to a premium beachfront, THANKFULLY we didn't. Our cottage was perfect, clean, comfortable and with an amazing spash pool completely private.

As soon as you arrive in Galley Bay you are greeted by the most welcoming hospitality and immediately offered a cool refreshing drink and checked in efficiently. You are then driven into Paradise and shown where everything is and then to your home for your stay.

The food is amazing, all a la carte even breakfast where nothing is too much trouble. The Maitre De, Mike is a very warm and friendly gentleman who makes the menu for the day seem like a story. The chef Andrew is from Bournemouth and has conjured up the most amazing dishes we've certainly tasted and would beat most top class resturants.

The pool is very well maintained, the only down side may be the colour of the pool is grey which certainly doesn't do the pool justice and can make is appear slightly murky. Rest assured it is cleaned to perfection everyday!

For that perfect trip you must charter the Jabberwocky yacht for the day. We did so with another couple and had the most amazing day ever imaginable. Your own skipper and chef for the day to sail on the bluest waters you will ever see.

We will certainly be returning next year, and are counting the days down!!!

After spending 3 weeks traveling round St Vincent and the Grenadines, all me and my boyfriend wanted to do for the last week of our holiday was to relax. This was definately the place to do just that. We stayed in one of the Deluxe beachfront rooms and the view was breath taking, the best part being you would wake up in the morning and walk straight out on to the gorgeous white sand or even take an early morning swim in the clear blue sea. Everything about Galley Bay was fantastic, from the 5* service to the fresh water swimming pool. Although obviously being the youngest couple there (19 & 20 years old) and sometimes feeling a little out of place,we were not treated any diferently, every member of staff treated us as though we were part of the family.(Thanks Mike And Ian) Both restaurants served lovely food and the unlimited amounts of drink was an added bonus. We enjoyed the free water sports although jet skiing was not offered by the hotel, nearly every day some one would come to the shore and ask if you would like to hire their jet ski at a small cost. sorry to the blokes whos jet ski my boyfriend blow up! If your looking for some where to just get away from it all Galley Bay is definately the place to visit. We will be returning in the near future. An AMAZING resort !!!!!!!!!

Stayed there in April for 2 weeks, we got married there and everything from start to finish was perfect. I would recommend Galley Bay to everybody. No complaints. The staff make the resort and are so helpful, friendly and pleasant, especially need to mention Nola, Saskier and Levique. The food was super. We travelled around the island, which I would recommend but if you do not leave Galley Bay you would not need to spend a penny. Without a doubt we would return in the morning.
