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).

Best Vacation Ever!
Galley Bay Resort is one of the best places I have been. The staff from the desk clerk, restaurant servers, housekeeping staff, and maintenance workers all greeted you with a smile and thanked you for visiting. The scenery was absolutely stunning. The resort itself felt like I was on a private island with having the resort being a bird sanctuary. It was pretty awesome. The three dining options had really tasty food. The one and only drawback is the men having to wear long pants and a collared shirt every night for dinner. The dining experience is outside in an already warm, humid place and the men have to wear long pants sweating to eat dinner.
I went deep sea fishing and caught a Wahoo and brought back some filets of it and the chefs grilled it for dinner for us. It was delicious. My overall rating is definitely a 5! I will be back to visit again.
This place was amazing! My new wife and I spent our honeymoon here and enjoyed every minute. Wish we could have done a few more excursions or spent some time in town(our choice) but hung out at the resort and enjoyed the amenities provided. Staff was great and very friendly. We will be going back as soon as we can!
I have traveled to 10 different Caribbean countries, so I know what I am talking about. I did a lot of research and read a lot of the reviews that other guest had posted. They alll were wonderful which is why we decided to check it out. And, we fell in love!!! When you first arrive at Galley Bay you are not expecting the resort to be as nice as it is. The reception area is not close to the rest of the resort. A golf cart takes you to the hotel and you are immediately greeted by a dirty looking lake. DO NOT be fooled though, this place is beautiful! We went as a couples vacation (6 of us) and we had an amazing time. The beach and views from the resort are amazing and breathtaking. You really do get your moneys worth. The hospitality at the resort is wonderful too, we loved Kenya! We arrived at our room and the AC was not turned off. As you can imagine, the room was very hot but someone immediately came out to turn it on and fix it. The issue was resolved and the receptionist kept calling everyday to make sure our AC was working well and the maintenance guy would stop by as well. The food is all really good! Only one restaurant you pay for and although the food is delicious I would say stick to the other restaurants. The food is just as delicious and free. This place is a very low key, not party central. If you are looking to party this is not the resort for you! The bar closes at midnight everyday and there is no club, as there usually is at every other resort I’ve stayed at. There is no pool bar, which is kinda a bummer. However, not a big deal because the bar isn’t that far. A great thing we loved was that we could snorkel right on the beach of the resort. And, they have free water equipment: kayaking, paddle boarding..etc. You only pay for the jetskies but that isn’t too expensive as well. Not a lot of resorts usually do this. We all had a wonderful time and wished the place would of been a little more lively. We all loved the resort and staff and HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking to go to Antigua. Also, check out Captain Sean’s excursions. He is a great guy too!
Peace and quiet,a few mosquitoes,god drinks and food,a place to go " find yourself " . Only thing missing was a little bit of music at the tikki hut bar.service was great.security will go out of their way , loved it.

We suggest checking with the resort directly regarding internet pricing and possible packages. As the resort sets the pricing, we do not have always have the most current information.
KristinCC
Free if you book highest room level. Free in the guest services area or the library.
Dcisland
No internet only in the Library and internet room
Rickster
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?2 answers
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.
