The Galley Bay Resort is a beautiful property that sits on a georgeous bay with a private half mile beach. Tne food was excellent and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Our room had a fantastic view of tbe ocean and well design bedroom and bathroom areas. Tne property was well maintained and landscaped. The surrounding terrains included rocky hills with goats. Tne restaurants were varied and all were open air with views of the bay.

This resort is one of a kind! I have never experienced such fantastic customer service before , they will go above and beyond to ensure happy guests. Every single staff here are some of the friendliest people and are sincere. The resort is just absolutely beautiful and you feel like you are on your own private island. On top of that the food is fantastic and never was disappointed. Galley Bay has set a bar very high for all inclusive hotels. We traveled for our honeymoon and we cannot wait to go back already!!!

Great property and staff The bar and restaurant staff were very attentive I only received turndown service once during my trip but am not sure if it is available We spent our 30th anniversary at the resort and they helped make it special. Caryle and Shawntay and the rest of the bar staff were amazing always greeting us with a smile. Room service has just started and needs a few more items up to par with the restaurants. All in all we will be back.

Galley Bay Resort is amazing. The property is picturesque, tranquil and lush! We went for our honeymoon October 2024. The food is outstanding, fresh ingredients made with love you can taste it. The staff goes above and beyond, everyone is helpful and friendly. If you're looking for a hotel that is quiet so you can decompress this is for you. They do have nightime band after dinner, however if your looking to party till the sun comes up this is not the place for you. The guests varied in age some late 20's and 30's but mostly 40 and up. We will definitely be back next year to unwind and the hustle and bustle at home. We absolutely loved it!

The property is stunning, as are the rooms and dining areas. The beach is spectacular although the sea can be choppy so be aware if you’re unsteady on your legs. The only thing to note is check occupancy levels before you book as they limit certain services, facilities and restaurants if occupancy is too low which was disappointing when not made aware until you arrive…

We stayed for our honeymoon in the off season. The resort was quiet and the beach was pristine. There were limited dining options and things weren’t always open when expected. Our suite was clean and comfortable, but lacked the charm you’d expect from a highly rated resort. The staff were exceptionally friendly. The food was very good.

We give the Galley Bay a 8/10. This was a beautiful resort, we stayed at the Gauguin Suite and it was so private and the pool was amazing. We saw some reviews complaint about the smell and we did smell it but I wasn’t so bad. The food was also AMAZING. However, the service really was not good. It felt like we were bothering servers by asking for a drink. I had to call room service three times and wait two days to get our fridge to be refilled. We waited so long at some of the restaurants too. I just don’t see us going back because of service and not a welcoming atmosphere. Everything else was great tho!

This property is great if you are looking for a nice relaxing beach. The beaches were the best I’ve ever seen in my life so quite no waves in the summer. Shower floors were not good and we stayed in the Gauguin suites which was great we were in the back very secluded. Only problem with the suite was the smell coming from the pond. There was also a lot of bugs in the small pool so we never even went in. The food was the best food I’ve ever had on any vacation in my life. Ismays restaurant will always be what I compare other restaurants to for the rest of my life I’m not even joking it was that good. Don’t come here if ur looking to party u go to beach u eat u go to sleep but all in all it was an unreal experience and I strongly suggest going. Eating all outside is a little tough when it’s that hot but worth it to go during dead season. You will never find a better beach/ocean.

Staff was incredible, except for one bartender who just wouldn't smile. Our room was perfect, right on the beach. The food was exceptional, which isn't always the case in an all-inclusive. The menus varied every night, were very innovative and the food delicious. The resort is in the process of upgrading some of their rooms which was needed. I rated the surrounding areas a bit low because they had some sewage/filtration areas that weren't treated and left lingering smells throughout certain parts of the resort. That should definitely be addressed. Overall, it was an awesome experience and we would definitely go back.
