We have just returned from a week's stay at this excellent hotel/resort. If you are looking for peace and quiet, total relaxation in a beautiful environment then we highly recommend the Galley Bay. The staff were excellent; attentive to your every need without being intrusive; all were polite, cheerful and considerate and impeccable in their attention to detail. The food and service was excellent.
We specifically chose the Galley Bay as it is an adult only resort. Guests in general were couples looking for a relaxed holiday free to choose whether they wished to just laze on the beach, swim or relax on one of the many loungers reading. For the more active there was a well-equipped fitness room and a jogging trail as well as facilities for windsurfing and snorkelling. Fishing trips as well as other excursions/activities can be booked through the hotel. We took a helicopter trip round the island which was very good and gave a different perspective of the island. The lagoon provided an interesting alternative with plenty of bird life. The library has planty of holiday reading.
We returned home thouroughly relaxed and looking forward to our next visit to the Galley Bay.

Stayed at the Galley Bay for our honeymoon mid May for ten nights. Food was amazing, cocktails need to be tried especially the Galley Bay Special and the Banana Slide. Staff were excellent and met lots of very nice people, only minor criticism is the dress code in the beach bar at night is long trousers for gents but everything else considered can live with that.
The location of this hotel is fantastic even though the sea can be a little rough at times, it is located on the most fantastic beach. Even when the hotel is full it never feels crowded.
Please remember to ask the kitchen staff for some lettuce for the turtles, they can be found just opposite the library...

My wife and I have just return from our honeymoon at Galley Bay. We were there between 22nd May till 6th June, We flew BA business class which was excellent well worth the money.

We arrived at St Johns airport it only took us 20 mins to get through
passport control and to collect our bags. The taxi took us straight to Galley Bay which only takes 15 mins, once at the main reception we were greeted with a Carribean Rum drink which was most refreshing.

We then was taken to our Premium Beach Front Suite by golf buggy I would recommend the extra expense it was well worth it, the suite was big very clean and tidy and right on the beach and its the biggest suite in the hotel.

The whole complex is just out of this world, the beach is very relaxing the water is warm and very blue its a little bit rockey up one end of the beach. The pool is very warm we took it in turn one day at the beach one day at the pool.

The staff are very helpful always there to help and very polite, we were always greeted with a smile.

The food was excellent in both Restaurants but after being there two weeks we were starting to get a little bit bored of it, You can drink
as much as you want.

We only went out once to St, Johns to have a look around spent about 2 hours and then returned back to Galley Bay as the weather was really hot.

So Gallay Bay is a place to go for to totally chill out there's no kids only couples and newly weds. If your looking for relaxing place
Gallay Bay is the place for you.

The weather was very hot, we only had a little rain while we were there.

My boyfriend and I have just returned from a fabulous 10 day holiday at Galley Bay. (We wished it had been longer). We can honestly say that the only thing we could possibly moan about is the butter for our bread rolls could have been a little softer!! And thats being picky.

The staff are the highlight of the stay. We are not the type for loud, active holidays where one is pressured to join in with entertainment, so this stay was ideal. The staff are the most polite and friendly hosts you could imagine and, despite it taking a little while to get used to their slower pace of life, they couldn't do enough to assist us.

All of our criteria was met. Our Superior Beach Room was clean, cool with a lovely big bathroom and only a stones throw from the sea. Whilst some have previously moaned about the crashing of the waves keeping them awake, we found it incredibly romantic and far from a problem.

Our other big must on holiday is good food. And at Galley Bay it is all 5 star. Unlike most all-inclusives, at Galley Bay breakfast, lunch and dinner are all a la carte (hence we put on a good few pounds!) They also have themed BBQ nights once a week which you shouldn't miss.

At 26 we were definitely one of the youngest couples so not a resort for those looking for a lively time away, but a very romantic location with many honeymooners. Our only disappointment was there are no motorised watersports at hand. The hotel will call in a local with a jet ski and full insurance but i suppose in such a beautiful bay it could be deemed unnecessary.

Facilities are lovely, some building work going on at the far end of the resort but we were close by and heard very little. The pool is lovely, the tennis court superb. I treated myself to a manicure and tried my best to get into the gym which was sufficiently equipped.

All in all a top class resort that we can't wait to visit again.
