How is it possible that the resort got better?

Go12439794911 on Dec 05, 2024

The reason we return is the incredible staff. The food and the suites are also excellent. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by the staff and management. Cedric came and said hello, and the rest of the staff made sure we were fed and had drinks in our hands. Nola B and her team took care of the registration, and Tarick dropped us off by the bar and took our luggage to the suite. How great is that? The suites are newly renovated and better than before. It has a fresh new look. The food was always good, but they must have new chefs, and the cuisine has improved. Kudos to the staff and management for making our stay better than before. It was great to see Sandy, Caryl, Joy-Ann, Dasani, Lynnetter, Claudia Amanda, and the rest of the crew again. We will be back soon.

Ten Beautiful Days

mrsreid100 (Aberdeen, United Kingdom) on Dec 05, 2024

Stayed here for 10 nights with my husband. Absolutely fell in love with the place. It exceeded our expectations on almost everything! From the moment we arrived we felt relaxed. Our room felt more like an apartment with a fantastic bathroom and comfortable bed. Adequate air conditioning as well as two ceiling fans. They couldn’t have looked after us any better. It’s like they thought of almost everything. The food was out of this world and always freshly made. Your glass was never empty. Beautifully kept resort. Only drawback was that the sea was exceptionally rough the whole ten days we were there. We aren’t too confident in water at the best of times so we weren’t in at all. There’s nothing you can do about Mother Nature. We went along to Long Bay and swam there and it was absolutely beautiful. Thanks for making our stay unforgettable.

The perfect resort

Vcals830 (Holbrook, New York) on Dec 04, 2024

I was introduced to Galley Bay Resort and Spa for our honeymoon by my travel agent and neither she nor the resort disappointed at all. The staff was very courteous and professional and went out of their way to make our stay the most pleasant it could be. The room that my wife and I had was wonderful as you open the doors straight to the beach. The food was good and with right sized portions too. The staff helped you with any excursions you wanted to take and any taxis rides you needed. Also the spa treatment was one of the best I have had. Know that if you come during winter months men must wear shoes and pants for dinner on the resort. This is definitely a place I highly recommend and I hope to return to in the near future.

Galley Bay is a special part of Antigua

MiltonKeynesDuffy (Milton Keynes) on Dec 01, 2024

Galley Bay is a beautiful special resort right on the beach but having the addition of a lake and wildlife on your door step particularly birds. The staff make galley bay special they are very professional friendly and everything at galley bay seems really organised and everything has a system which makes your stay really relaxing. The superior dellux room we had right on the beach was a lovely large room great shower walk in closet . Minibar filled everyday with a list of drinks we asked for. There was a bottle of champagne in our room when we arrived. The outlook is wonderful and swimming in the sea great fun. We went to the Gauguin restaurant twice I booked it at 7 am and had no problem getting a reservation for dinner the next day. The food and the setting are incredible. All the food we had was great and drinks service at the pool and on the beach were brilliant. The gym is very well equipped. Great entertainment each night with a group and usually several singers. Lots of water activities at the resort . It truly was one of the most relaxing holidays I have had in the most beautiful setting I cannot recommend it highly enough. I thought it was excellent value for money as well.

Excellent place for couples to just relax!

Dennis S on Nov 25, 2024

We've been to a few resorts on Antigua and Galley Bay by far exceeds the others (although any Elite Island property is good!) The food is unbelievably good. I mean really good!!!! The wait staff and bar staff are all great people who couldn't do enough for you...all with a smile. Management is on top of their game. MANY staff have been there for years which days alot! We stayed in the Gaugin cottage #16..perfect privacy for dipping in your plunge pool. Housekeeping does a great job also, although we didn't need much. The grounds are well manicured and the beach is well maintained. Depending on time of year, the water could be too rough, so they put red flag up. Plenty of water sport activities. This is not a place for a booming nightlife . Music was good but from 830 to 1030 only. No activities director if you're looking for that. It's a very quite type of place. Couples seemed to stay to themselves day and night. Also an older crowd...many Brits. You see alot of cruise ships coming and going and other catamaran etc. OVERALL, this is a fantastic place to reconnect with your partner and let the sun kiss your skin and gain a few pounds from eating and drinking so well! Notable mentions to Cedric the General Manager, Vincent Food and Beverage Manager, Sadie a Seagrape Manager, And all wait and bar service. Visit Afi in the Diamonds International on-site for great pricing on jewelry. The women in the coffee shop were also very pleasant!
