Galley Bay Resort & Spa

What a BLAST! We came in on a cruise ship and bought the Day Pass; food, drinks, beach, and pool. The staff was absolutely attentive amd the drinks were seriously strong. Lunch was tasty with many options (we came on BBQ Day so ut was a buffet). Add in some great entertainment and it was everything we coupd ask for and more.

My husband and I had booked Galley Bay somewhat last minute but we were very, very happy we did. We had stayed at the resort from 10/19/2025 - 10/25/2025, and from the minute we got to the resort, we had a fabulous time. Our overall rating of the resort is about a 4.7 stars but for little reasons. Upon arriving at the security gate, we were greeted at the hotel reception, who asked for us to provide them with a copy of our travel for the week (car service, room confirmation, flights, etc.) To jump ahead, when we checked out everything was already confirmed the day prior, so we were able to enjoy our last day. We stayed in room 54 and it was the PERFECT location to everything - it was one set of rooms away from Seagrape (the main dining area), and on the 2nd floor, which we would HIGHLY recommend booking. The room was spacious, with a king-sized bed, walk in closet, balcony with 2 lounge chairs, 2 sitting chairs inside with a coffee table, and a large bathroom. It was cleaned everyday by the time we got back from the beach, and they had a modern system of letting the resort know either "do not disturb" or "ready to clean", which we appreciated. The entire week, me and my husband kept saying how GOOD the food was. The entire week, we didn't have 1-bad meal. Now, I'll preface by saying 2 things: the breakfast is your run of the mill breakfast, nothing to be blown away about, and the second thing: don't be afraid to ask for modifications or more of something. With our stay being all-inclusive, we were hesitant at first but by day 2 we figured out very quickly that you can make small changes to the meals or ask for 2 appetizers if you wanted. The food at each restaurant was fabulous. We dined at Ismay's, which is an extra $50/PP (plus any higher-end wines for purchase as well), and it was out of this world. The service at all 3 restaurants was great, and the staff was wonderful. The resort is very quiet. You have your own seats in front of your room which is amazing - honestly a huge plus for us, and the pool was never crowded either. They had nightly entertainment and the bars were opened until about 10:30 PM. Now for the "negatives" - which are more like improvements that could be made to the resort: 1. The beds - horrible. We complained by mid-week to each other that our backs were killing us. We spoke to several guests with the same sentiments. 2. The food portions - again, there's a solution, just ask for more! It was definitely a shock at first but the staff was always accommodating and didn't make you feel like a burden. 3. Inconsistency of drinks being made if you asked for a specialty one. We noticed that the bars and bartenders were quite inconsistent. Some were better at making drinks at others but it was a toss-up all week on what you'd get. 4. Bath towels - again, we probably could've asked but it was super frustrating to only have 2 bath towels in the room for me and my husband, which leads me to... 5. Pool/beach towels - now this was actually absurd: upon arrival, we were provided with 2 beach towels in our room. AWESOME - then it stopped. We later found out that every day you needed to return your towels to the pool, get 2 new ones and bring them back to your room. It was a huge pain and honestly, something that sets them apart from a 5-star resort. 6. The A/C's were brand new which was amazing BUT the first night me and my husband were freezing and we actually had to request a blanket because there wasn't an extra one in the room (which typically there is). That first night sleep was rough. 7. We also had cold water in our shower all week, and there was no bathroom fan, just a window. Because we were on the 2nd floor, I didn't mind keeping the window open all week, but the lower floors, I wouldn't like that. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Galley Bay - it was absolutely fabulous and we had an amazing time. The water is beautiful, warm, and there's a ton to do. It's a very quiet getaway and perfect for couples or friends looking for a good vacation!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Magical Experience at Galley Bay, Antigua! Our stay at Galley Bay Antigua was truly magical from start to finish, and our anniversary dinner was an evening we’ll treasure forever. Everything was absolutely perfect — from the setting to the service to the food, which was without a doubt the nicest meal we’ve ever had. It was cooked and presented by real professionals who clearly care about what they do. A huge thank you to Dasani, who looked after us so wonderfully on our special night. He’s such a genuine, kind person and an absolute credit to Galley Bay. The whole evening felt effortless and full of joy thanks to him. We’re also so grateful to Nadia for arranging the evening and making it so special, and to Anya, who has been our point of contact since earlier this year. She’s been so lovely and thoughtful every step of the way — a truly special person who made us feel like old friends rather than guests. There are so many others we want to mention — Dayton, Aliah, and many more — every single member of staff made us feel cared for and welcomed. The warmth, smiles, and attention to detail from everyone really set Galley Bay apart. We left feeling relaxed, spoiled, and incredibly grateful for such a wonderful experience. Galley Bay isn’t just a resort — it’s a place that touches your heart. We can’t wait to return! 💕🌴

After four visits to this island and stays at several other resorts, I can say without hesitation—this one is the best. From its unbeatable beachfront location to its warm, welcoming atmosphere, everything about this place is first class and worth every penny. 🏖️ Best Beachfront on the Island No elevators, no towering buildings—just charming rooms that open directly onto the waterfront. You wake up to the sound of waves and step out into paradise. The beach and pool areas are constantly patrolled by attentive staff offering drinks, making relaxation effortless. 👨‍🍳 Exceptional Staff & Management The heart of this resort is its people. A special shoutout to Vincent Andrew, whose familiar face from a previous resort was a welcome surprise at Galley B. His presence and professionalism added a personal touch to our stay. Chef Gavin, a Michelin-starred talent, went above and beyond to make my daughter’s white coat celebration truly special. His culinary artistry and gracious demeanor made every meal unforgettable. Mr. Henry took the time to understand my concerns as a proud father and offered thoughtful ideas to honor my daughter’s achievement. That kind of care is rare—and deeply appreciated. 💫 Gratitude to the Dream Team Huge thanks to Risa and Vaughn for their warmth and attention, and to Chelsey, the all-star bartender who kept the good vibes flowing. Every staff member was genuinely committed to making our visit enjoyable. 🍽️ Food, Rooms, and Service – Top Tier From the gourmet dining to the immaculate rooms and world-class service, this resort sets the standard.
