8 Best All-inclusive Resorts in Antigua

"An adults-only, 56-acre beachfront retreat set on sparkling white sand with glass-like turquoise water, tranquil lagoon, and a bird sanctuary; the resort features 98 beachy rooms and suites (some with private plunge pools), a freeform outdoor pool, a spa, and a lengthy program of land and water activities. Dining options include four restaurants, though one signature venue (Ismay’s Restaurant & Bar) requires an extra charge and reservations." - Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger Meagan Drillinger left New York City for a life on the road.

"Galley Bay Resort & Spa Soaking tubs big enough for two and double walk-in showers provide a clue that this beachfront all-inclusive, located less than 20 minutes from the airport on a peninsula just to the southwest of St. John’s Harbour, encourages families to look elsewhere. And while only the Premium Beachfront Suites have those particular romance-inducing amenities, there are other features, such as hideaway tropical dining, that will convince honeymooners and other couples that they have stepped into their own Gauguin landscape. Hence, the most secluded rooms, each with its own plunge pool, are called the Gauguin Cottages. Even among Antigua ’s 365 beaches, Galley Bay’s is a visual standout that is longer and less crowded than most. The ocean here can get too rough for swimming, but the beach seldom fails to please for sunsets. Guests with limitless energy can choose from complimentary activities such as tennis, sailing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Or they can save their energy for honeymooning."

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. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to celebrate life’s special moments. Book a catamaran(Wala Dali) and ATV with 268Buggies

Oh my from arriving at reception and being driven down over the extensive lake we were not disappointed. Walked into room 43 overlooking the beautiful blue sea. Room bathroom is huge modern and ultra clean. Peeps can’t see in but be aware nighttime with lights on they can….. outside shower if not full on press little button on head to sort this. Each sea view room has allocated beds on beach. Dreamy😄! Beach bar tenders patrol beach but not so frequent as busy periods I’m guessing but you do have a full fridge…|Pool not busy at this time of year has buzzers for drinks oh my! |All meals a la carte if wished but we chose to eat from the beachfront grill at lunch time.Gin bar not open every day as low season but not a problem. Coffee shack always open fab ice creams. Gin bar every few days… low season….|Booked catamaran lobster lunch by deposit turned out that was a premium you could just have chicken and fish. Which was good as for the first time I was sea sick! Lucky we cancelled the lobster….. 50 dollars for two….|You need to be a strong swimmer on the reef.|Entertainment fantastic always a different band. |Bar drinks crazy every one premium brands no rubbish.|We witnessed a turtle giving birth and helped with baby turtle release with Ashton,|Fab time with zornel on a bob cat experience what a guy! |All in all book a fantastic trip you won’t be disappointed will definitely be back in a few years …..

My husband and I spent 6 nights there for our honeymoon Aug 20-26 but we were pretty disappointed. |When we arrived, it felt like a deserted island. It just ended up being way too quiet for us. Even no music at the pool. |The food was fantastic. Probably the best I’ve had at an all inclusive. But the service lacked. Considering there were only 50 people at the resort at the time, you’d think getting a drink by the pool would be easy but the call button only worked once and there was no drink service at the beach, either. Some of the staff were super friendly and talkative but majority of the staff acted like they couldn’t be bothered which totally surprised us, considering their service is what they are so known for. |I also didn’t realize every restaurant was open air so not only was it hot for every meal, there was no reprieve except in our room for AC. That also meant mosquitos none stop. Even with bug spray, we got annihilated. Not the resorts fault, but I was miserable because of it. We were ready to leave after night 3.

My husband and I had an amazing 10 night stay at Galley Bay last month. It was my husband’s third visit and I have been so many times I have lost count! |Firstly the staff. They are all very special. To name just a few I will always remember Pearl with her lovely smile and the fact she got my husband a cushion at mealtimes to help with his bad back. The manager Cedric with his cheery wave and smile and always making time for a chat despite being very busy. Shiloh from water sports with his vast knowledge of Antigua and who hasn’t aged a bit in the 20 plus years I have known him and Niquan who took us out on a boat trip which was great. |The food. The food is very good with plenty of choice from delicious steaks to amazing fish most of which we cannot get in the UK and the cakes and pastries are brilliant. |The rooms. They are very comfortable and as we had a beach front room we could lie in bed and look straight out into the ocean. The bed is big and comfortable and as someone who doesn’t sleep well at home I find I always sleep well at Galley Bay.|The wildlife. The tropical birds are beautiful and there are some lovely ducks wandering around and also a mongoose or two who say a quick hello and disappear.|All in all Galley Bay offers charm, relaxation and quality. I can’t wait to return.

INCREDIBLE!|Absolutely STUNNING. The beach is perfect the service outstanding, the food just brilliant. We stayed in a Premium Beachfront Suite Beachfront these rooms are my favourite! You can request ground floor for beach walkout but I loved the 1st floor. They are huge rooms - with massive bathrooms. I would 1000000% return here. |Ive seen some reviews mention that is very quiet - while it is a more tranquil place I think that its important to understand travelling 'off season' aug/sep will be quieter than November - April-June. Saying that they had some music in the evenings!||GO! Visit Shirley Heights for some fun :)

Our honeymoon at Galley Bay was unforgettable. The resort is beautiful, the staff are so warm, and starting the morning with yoga by the water was the perfect touch.||The highlight was dinner at Ismay’s—the restaurant is stunning and the food was outstanding. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The head chef was amazing, making us feel so special and going above and beyond to personalize our meal. Overall, Galley Bay was the best choice we could have made for our honeymoon.

As other reviews have already mentioned, this resort only had 50 guests when we arrived in August and first impressions were that it felt deserted (in fact Cedric will remember we bitterly complained to him and asked to be moved!) That same day as we looked from our Sunbeds out to Sea we wondered what on earth we had been complaining about, how wrong could we have been, we needed to embrace the beauty which Galley Bay offered; the Beach - totally stunning with crystal clear waters, the Pool - comfy sunbeds plentiful, waiter service of the most wonderful cocktails (and never getting up at silly o'clock to reserve!) No Music at the pool - at long last! how refreshing! No boom boom boom and finally time to sit back, relax, enjoy being with family, watch the hummingbirds, read a book, think and unwind.... Maybe not to everyone's taste but this was the Holiday we deserved. The Meals - not always an all inclusive buffet but a delightful array of mouthwatering menu-driven-selection of top quality foods instead, all cooked to absolute perfection, the Lobster was particularly unforgettable! Each and every person at Galley Bay were welcoming and friendly, nothing was too much trouble and their top priority was for us to enjoy our holiday. Guests have different expectations on holiday, but for us - this one was truly unforgettable, too many wonderfully kind and friendly people to recognise here in this review (and its always teamwork) but Special thanks have to go to Cedric and Alaska for making Galley Bay a truly wonderful holiday experience for us, hope you guys are well and you know we will be back very soon!

We wanted to try our first all inclusive resort and found Galley Bay through Costco Travel. It has absolutely set the bar high for our future expectations. The location is beautiful with a calm beach right outside most rooms. Their service is amazing, for example: us asking if Corona was available and finding out it wasn’t, only for someone to show up a few minutes later with a six pack! Everyone working here is friendly and helpful, and they truly made the experience. Shout out to Annika from guest services for her consideration, Mike Ray from dining for his wonderful recommendations, Romeo for the awesome hobby cat tour of the bay, and Rogers from Bo Tours for his hospitality and humor. Thank you for a wonderful stay! 🌴☀️🏖️
