Anybody reading recent reviews of Galley Bay must be getting really bored with repetitive remarks on the beautiful location, wonderful food and friendly staff. The problem is that they are true! We stayed at Galley Bay between the 7th-18th June, quite a good time to visit Antigua as it is considered the start of the Low Season and is therefore... more

This was our first trip to Galley Bay and we were trying to not get too excited in case it didn't live up to all good reviews we'd read. But after 13 restful days of eating, drinking, snorkelling, swimming, bird and mongoose watching, I'm happy to report it did indeed live up to the hype. In atmosphere it was very... more

This is the perfect Caribbean resort, comfortable immaculate rooms set on a secluded beach, with a 5* dining experience. The staff go that extra mile to make sure you are well looked after. You won't find loud music, water polo etc for daytime entertainment, just the sound of the sea and the birds. My boyfriend and I fell in love... more

Well what can I say that has not already been said. The resort does exactly what all the other reviews say it does. We tried various booking combinations, quotes from Virgin, Carribean Warehouse,the hotel itself, and eventually booked direct with XL, who provided the entire package for £6100, with the business class upgrade, which was well worth it.(why do so... more

Spent a week at Galley Bay after a disappointing week in Tobago which had made us worried about the level of service we would receive. We were certainly not disappointed here. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Our accommodation was wonderful overlooking a beautiful beach. We are always wary about all inclusive and hate buffets and the "local" drinks... more

We stayed at Galley Bay from May 31-June 7th, for our weddingmoon. I had researched on tripadvisor between 3 resorts in Antigua and choose Galley Bay as our first choice.. We were not dissapointed! We were upgraded to one of the new premium beach front suites and our view was a tropical paradise! The room was nice not five star... more

Galley Bay was a wonderful honeymoon. My husband and I have a daughter, so we did not want a crazy party, we wanted beautiful surroundings, good food, and a lot of sleep. We got them all! On the plane to Antigua there were many couples going to Sandels and I was so happy we did not pick that place. They... more

Had our wedding at Galley Bay with just the two of us. I would only recommend this venue for a wedding if you are easy going. I had to repeat my requests a number of times and my date and requests were not even booked when I got there even though I had it verified twice. The wedding coordinators never... more

We have just returned from our fifth visit to Galley Bay - we now call it our second home. We have travelled all over the world but this is the only hotel that we come back to time and time again. As usual we stayed in the smaller beachfront rooms - number 2 this year - and in only five... more

My wife and I spent an amazing 2 weeks at this beautiful hotel for our honeymoon and had the holiday of a lifetime. All the numerous reviews below tell you of how amazing this hotel is, and it is difficult for me to add anything else other than to endorse the Galley Bay as simply the best place that my... more
