YES the Gauguin Cottages do have fully equipped Bathrooms { actually Showers not Baths]. Each "cottage" consists of 2 thatched Rondovals about 6' apart with a connecting roofed pathway.
One consists of the Airconned living / sleeping space and the other has the toilet facilities etc and wardrobes. All the cottages are effectively screened from each other by the dense tropical foliage surrounding them so you are never on show making a spirited dash across the gap in the middle of the night.
EVERY other room on the resort is literally ON the beach.
Look at the map on the website
http://www.galleybayresort.com/resortMap.htm
Starting at the top you have Ismay's Restaurant
Then Premier units #s 48 - 17. Look at the pictures; they are block built 2 up and 2 down and the most modern at the resort
Then we have single storey Deluxe #s 11-16 Perfectly comfortable but beginning to show their age. We have used them in each of the last 10 years and been very happy there.
Next are the Superiors #s 1-10. again single storey but smaller than the deluxe and with less amenity space.
After that you have the main complex [ Barefoot Grill; Teepee bar, Offices and Reception and the main Restaurant "Sea Grape".]
Then we have the 2 storey Deluxes # 49-72 which are smaller versions of the Premiers and of wooden construction rather than block built.
Finally another 4 Premier units #s 73-88
After that you have the Gauguin Restaurant.
Premiers are worth the extra but the rustic feel of the Gauguin cottages has many admirers.
Re the transfers. Unusual not to be included but DO NOT ask whoever is doing the package to sort it out for you. Taxi fares in Antigua are fixed by the Government and the fare from the Airport to Galley Bay are US$20 for up to 4 people in the one cab. I am aware of some travel agencies over here quoting US$ 20 per person or US$60 for a cab. Across the road from where you leave customs is an official Taxi Controllers stand and they are very efficient in organising the taxi guys. It seems to move about from 1 year to the next so it would be best if you asked anyone wearing a uniform of any sort to point it out to you. You could be asked to share with another couple which should be no real hardship since the journey only takes about 20 - 30 mins depending on traffic. That way you end up paying US$5 a head.
Make absolutely certain before you get in the cab that the Driver agrees the fare and that, when appropriate, the other couple are going to either Galley Bay or Hawksbill [ it's only about 1/4 mile away on the next bay.]
We'll be there 14 days starting 28th April so we might see you at the Teepee.
