A fabulous stay at Galley Bay!
We had a fabulous stay at Galley Bay! So many highlights and no bad points. We had a ground floor beachfront room it was great to walk out onto the beach and to have sunloungers just outside our room. Food and drinks all very good our favorite was the Gaguin restaurant for dinner and the Sea grape for breakfast. The beach is fabulous and we were able to swim every day, if the beach is not for you the pool area is spacious and also very good. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, they all wanted to make sure that you have a fabulous stay. We recommend a sailing trip with Captain Sean, he is a great host, he is very experienced and skilled and his boat is spotless and beautifully maintained, the snorkeling on the reef was amazing and the best way to see the island is to sail gently along the coast, thank you Captain Sean! The grounds of the resort are beautifully maintained and it is a totally relaxing experience, so a big thank you to the whole team at Galley Bay, you all get 5 stars

Keeps getting better.
This place just getting better ever time we go back. This year we noticed the improvement in the food and facilities. Also even the sea with not one red flag. All the staff are excellent so it would be unfair to single out one member and are a credit to all management.See you next year.

Another week (give or take) in paradise...
We visited Galley Bay again (for the 7th time) this year. It was wonderful, as always. It was nice to see familiar faces, as many of the staff are long time team members, and the newer hires are quickly learning the Galley Bay standard of service. We understand some of the staff are on rotation from Palm Island, which is also a wonderful testament to the values of the ownership group. We welcome the addition of Ms. Nadia Brown, VIP Experience Manager, and we look forward to seeing how she enhances the experience even further. The weather did not always cooperate, but even a rainy day experienced from the comfort of our balcony, overlooking the Caribbean, with a perfect rainbow on the horizon, was not a hardship by any definition! Many people ask why we return to the same resort. The friendly people, the unparalleled level of service, and the quality of the food, are among the many reasons we "come home" to Galley Bay. For us, it is the best place to relax and rejuvinate, when escape from the "deep freeze" (Ontario) is in order!

Wonderful return trip
Back from our 5th trip to Galley Bay and we had another wonderful time. We love the warm welcome from all of the staff, they take time to make sure everything is right for us. On the rare occasions that anything isn’t quite right, just say the word and it’s sorted. Ok, the sea can be unpredictable, but we know that’s to be expected. We took a slow stroll out of the hotel to the next beach (Hawksbill) so we could get our fix of a swim in the Caribbean Sea. Far end is for the Hawksbill hotel but the near end is for the public, with sunbeds at a small charge. Only takes about 20 minutes, steep hill but not too bad even for oldies like us! Big shout out to Alfred, Samantha, Sandy G, Joan, Jasmine, Lynette, Tarick and Dacia to name but a few. There are a few areas for improvement but they are minor, they didn’t in any way spoil our stay.
