lovely beachfront suites that have everything you need. restaurants are all very good. they will adjust any dishes if you simply ask. wonderful pool area and bar service at pool. pristine beach, but not a swimmers beach. strong surf. . take a guided tour of island but don’t drive yourself. a big no. we got to see so much with a driver and able to relax and not deal with crazy roads. spa is quaint with lofted thatched roof treatment rooms. . all staff was extra helpful and friendly. only suggestions for resort would be a fresh beach towel at pool daily rather than dragging wet towel back to room everyday. labels on the myriad of switches in the rooms as to what coordinates with what. a sunscreen pump station at the pool. these are minor fixes but would be so much more convenient. very very laid back and relaxing resort. no kids. no loud music. classy. must wear long pants at dinner or they will turn you away. enjoy!!

Lots of stars!! I feel I have to mention some shortcomings: The check in process is not straightforward, and actually annoying: you have to provide your reservation, although they already have your reservation and your room assignment, you have to provide a return flight reservation, you also have to fill out a registration form, although you already submitted your passport. The food is subjective topic, but one should not expect haute cuisine. Most of the time the sea is to rough to swim, or snorkel. The stuff is exceptional, It is nice to have realistic expectations!

Galley Bay Resort is absolutely gorgeous. It is almost as if you have the beach to yourself. The staff is the most friendly and accommodating we have ever experienced. The food in any of the restaurants is exceptional and the food service is superb. Our room was large and very comfortable right on the beach. The water is crystal clear and has rolling waves that are fun. There are some areas to snorkel off the beach but when we stayed, the waves were keeping the water too cloudy to snorkel. The resort did shuttle us to a calm bay where we were able to snorkel a bit. Not the best snorkeling we have experienced, but we took a 4-hour sail and snorkel trip with Captain Sean which was fantastic. But there are many other activities available: the pool with a waterfall is relaxing and there are water sports offered such as sailing, kayaking, and paddle boarding. Tennis, volleyball, ping pong, a pool table, bicycling, and croquet are also offered as is a daily yoga class. The resort caters to adults only and there is a relaxed and mature feel to the place. We met many other couples and made friends easily. If you are seeking a beautiful place to completely relax with a touch of elegance, this is your resort!

This resort is one of a kind! I have never experienced such fantastic customer service before , they will go above and beyond to ensure happy guests. Every single staff here are some of the friendliest people and are sincere. The resort is just absolutely beautiful and you feel like you are on your own private island. On top of that the food is fantastic and never was disappointed. Galley Bay has set a bar very high for all inclusive hotels. We traveled for our honeymoon and we cannot wait to go back already!!!

Great property and staff The bar and restaurant staff were very attentive I only received turndown service once during my trip but am not sure if it is available We spent our 30th anniversary at the resort and they helped make it special. Caryle and Shawntay and the rest of the bar staff were amazing always greeting us with a smile. Room service has just started and needs a few more items up to par with the restaurants. All in all we will be back.

Galley Bay Resort is amazing. The property is picturesque, tranquil and lush! We went for our honeymoon October 2024. The food is outstanding, fresh ingredients made with love you can taste it. The staff goes above and beyond, everyone is helpful and friendly. If you're looking for a hotel that is quiet so you can decompress this is for you. They do have nightime band after dinner, however if your looking to party till the sun comes up this is not the place for you. The guests varied in age some late 20's and 30's but mostly 40 and up. We will definitely be back next year to unwind and the hustle and bustle at home. We absolutely loved it!

The property is stunning, as are the rooms and dining areas. The beach is spectacular although the sea can be choppy so be aware if you’re unsteady on your legs. The only thing to note is check occupancy levels before you book as they limit certain services, facilities and restaurants if occupancy is too low which was disappointing when not made aware until you arrive…

We stayed for our honeymoon in the off season. The resort was quiet and the beach was pristine. There were limited dining options and things weren’t always open when expected. Our suite was clean and comfortable, but lacked the charm you’d expect from a highly rated resort. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The food was very good.

We give the Galley Bay a 8/10. This was a beautiful resort, we stayed at the Gauguin Suite and it was so private and the pool was amazing. We saw some reviews complaint about the smell and we did smell it but I wasn’t so bad. The food was also AMAZING. However, the service really was not good. It felt like we were bothering servers by asking for a drink. I had to call room service three times and wait two days to get our fridge to be refilled. We waited so long at some of the restaurants too. I just don’t see us going back because of service and not a welcoming atmosphere. Everything else was great tho!
