“Awesome Place”

Gallows Point Resort

8/9 found this review helpful

Spent a week @ Gallows for my husbands 40th birthday. We stayed in Unit 3C (I requested this unit when booking). The only thing we could find wrong with the unit is some rust on the outside of the refridgerator and to us it wasnt a big deal considering everything else about this unit is great. Building 3 by far has the best view of all of the units. Closest to the water and just amazing views.

Zozo's restaurant @ Gallows was very good as well. Pool and hot tub were very nice. Very small sandy beach but the snorkeling right in front of Gallows was great.

Rented a car for a few days and wish we hadnt. Was easier to get around by cab or the bus. Can go to alot of places on the bus and it only costs $1.

Walk to Honeymoon beach from Gallows. It is a short, easy, scenic hike and when we got there we literally had the beach to ourselves-not one other person there! Beautiful white sand beach with turquiose water.

Our favorite restaurants were Morgans Mango and the Lime Inn- both in Cruz Bay. After dinner the Beach Bar was a great place to have some drinks and listen to a band.

You can walk to everything in Cruz Bay from Gallow Point. No big hills- just a very short stroll to town. We walked to dinner every night which was great.

Gallows is on the expensive side but we thought it was worth every penny. Beautiful grounds; great unit; friendly, helpful staff;quiet, romantic, relaxing atmosphere. If you are looking for a party atmosphere or a place to bring small children this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a relaxing, romantic, tranquil atmosphere- look no further.

If you have any questions feel free to email us.

Cost wise the price was high however the price was soon forgotten. The view of the channel was stunning. The accomodations in our loft accomodation was the largest and most relaxing ever (we travel a lot). The snorkeling on the island is the best in the Caribbean and is very very good directly in front of the resort. Only drawback is attached restuarant is overrated.
We would definatley go back.

GP was great for our second honeymoon vacation away from the cold midwest. The kitchen was top notch with stainless steel applicances and granite countertops. The local staff were very friendly, more than most locals usually are, and they responded to our needs promptly. The only complaint is that the bed linens are not very luxurious and not on par with the rest of the accomodations. Don't come here if you expect to be waited on by the pool for drinks; rather you need to always bring your own. But the hammocks and beach with snorkeling are some of the best on the island you won't mind not having drinks served to you or the lukewarm hot tub!
Have dinner one night at Las Tapas and lunch and the balcony!

First time there and it was just fantastic. Great rooms, views are the best, and the staff was so kind and friendly that we hated to leave. Really worth the $plurge.

We enjoyed our stay at the Gallows. The view was amazing! We loved falling asleep to the sounds of the ocean. We had a few small problems with ants and low water pressure, but overall had a pleasant experience. I liked being able to walk to town instead of renting a car. Many of the restaurants are closed this time of year, including the one at Gallows. We didn't mind since there were fewer people on the island (no crowds). We had perfect weather. Just a few short showers during the day and night.
