Feel like it's time to check out for awhile? Look no
further than the 40 secluded acres of beachfront tropical gardens, lagoons and
three-quarters of a mile of private, white sand beach at the all-inclusive
Galley Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua. The resort's commitment to peace and
serenity means no children (other than during Christmas/New Year holidays).

Excellent
Everything was better than we could have expected. The staff was amazing. Staff made the vacation better than we ever thought it could be. A+A+A+A+A+
My husband and I were looking for a place with white sand beach and clear water but also wanted something reasonably priced and all-inclusive. Galley Bay Resort was amazing! The resort itself was very nice. It is a smaller resort, not a mega resort, which is what we wanted. We wanted something more quiet and romantic and this was perfect! Most of the rooms are on the beach and the view is beautiful! The beach was white sand and the water was clear. The staff was very nice. There were options for excursions at an additional price. We did two of the excursions and they were great. The food was very good. Most of the meals they had a different menu each day. If you go here during the slower season (around June/July and possibly further) they may not have all the restaurants open all the time because of staffing. They let you know each day which restaurants are open and the times. Overall, my husband and I had an amazing time and we will definitely be back!
Just wanted to give you the best, honest review of the Galley Bay Resort & SPA located in Antigua W.I.
First, it is important to understand what our goals and expectations were before choosing this vacation. Basically, my wife and I were celebrating a milestone anniversary. We wanted an adult only resort, all-inclusive meal and drink plan, on a properly maintained beach, not overly crowded with other resorts on the same beach, and have great service and privacy.
Overall, our experience was "Excellent"!
Value - Good. As a shopper, we always want more discounts and opportunities for a good bargain. We just felt that the price could have been a little more reasonable. Mainly, due to the age of the facility. This does not mean that the facility was run down or falling apart, just some amenities are outdated. Ie/ We would have liked a stereo in our room for music. Granted we could have purchased a portable Bluetooth speaker, but would have been great if the hotel provided one.
Service - Excellent. Staff pleasant, courteous, and helpful. Upon arrival the air conditioner was not working properly. We advised the Housekeeper in passing, and was planning to follow up with the front desk. We came back from beach to find the air unit fixed and working properly. An indirect issue was addressed and resolved by a staff member, that was not responsible in our mind, for fixing the issue. Wow!
Beach & Pools - Excellent. Beach is secluded and no other resort is on top of you. Clean and very nice. Giorgio Armani's house is located next to the resort. Obviously, he knows perfection, with his house located right next door! Pool was clean and refreshing. Enjoyed the location and the amenities!
Dining Options - Good. Limited to 3 restaurants and one outside grill. One restaurant is a pay event, needing a reservation a week in advance. This is the Ismay restaurant. We did not eat there due to the waiting list. However, the Gaugin and Seascape restaurants were awesome! The Gaugin has private cabanas for dinner. The location was great. Service and food perfect.
Room Comfort - Excellent. Mentioned earlier the air unit was not working upon arrival, but was fixed within two hours. Overall, the room was great. Clean and everything working properly. Bathroom was spotless and the housekeeping service was outstanding.
Only one ask, is my wife and I would have liked more Caribbean music playing at the dining and pool areas. However, our like is another's dislike, We believe music does help comfort the soul!
We "Highly recommend" this resort to you!
This was one of our most relaxing vacations!!! We are beach people and the beach was 10 steps out our backdoor. We scuba dive and snorkel; my husband was able to do that right on the beach. The room came with brand new top quality snorkel gear for you to use.The pool was wonderful too. This is a resort for adults only, which was great no children running around. The food was good and the drinks were marvelous. Best of all the employees were exceptional and all the guests were great as well. Our rooms were okay, but with being 10 steps from the ocean it was wonderful!!! The beach was white soft sand right out your back door and the ocean was the most beautiful colors of blue you could imagine. You didn't need any beach shoes - sand was never burning hot and you could walk right into the ocean like walking into a swimming pool!!! Many of the guests were return guests. We loved it and would definitely return. Also, what we liked, you could do as little or as much as you wanted. No beach vendors either. GREAT PLACE TO BE!!!!

no charge, the wifi in the premium beachfront rooms is decent
Will111111
Some rooms have free wi-fi right in them. We stayed in a Deluxe (cheapest room) and had access to wi-fi but it was slow. I took my computer to the teepee bar one afternoon and got wonderfully fast free wi-fi there. You can also go to their library to use their computers or link to their wi-fi if you can't get it in your room.

Are there rooms with 2 beds and/or any evening shows?1 answer
I am planning to travel with my mom so am looking for a room with two beds... I notice it says all rooms have one king, but wondering if they can ever accommodate an alternative arrangement? Also, having been to a lot of all-inclusive resorts I've found that it's nice to have some kind of evening entertainment and I'm just curious if this property has anything like that (live music, shows, etc.). Thanks!

Hotel Description
Galley Bay Resort & Spa: Escape to a Haven for Couples
Feel like it's time to check out for awhile? Look no
further than the 40 secluded acres of beachfront tropical gardens, lagoons and
three-quarters of a mile of private, white sand beach at the all-inclusive
Galley Bay Resort & Spa in Antigua. The resort's commitment to peace and
serenity means no children (other than during Christmas/New Year holidays).
The
beach at Galley Bay Resort is simply splendid. Sporting a private stretch of
inviting white sand along the placid and protected Caribbean, the resort makes
it easy to rest beneath scattered shady palms or to enjoy a refreshing
swim in the calm water. The sparkling free-form pool guarantees a relaxing
experience thanks to its built-in, cascading waterfalls.
Surprise your sweetie with couple's treatments at Indulge Spa, set
along lagoon waters in the heart of a bird sanctuary. Continue your indulgence
in the private spa pool and surrounding deck, or - for the ultimate experience
in private relaxation - try the spa's in-room treatments, where a little taste
of heaven is delivered right to your suite.
When you're feeling hungry, enjoy award-winning Caribbean dishes at Sea Grape Restaurant. Enjoy the thatched
roof ambiance and grilled fare at Gauguin's, or claim your
beachfront spot at Ismay's for a feast of local
specialties. Post-feast, make a point of stopping by the Teepee Bar for a drink.
