Galley Bay Resort & Spa

Galley Bay provided the most incredible backdrop for our honeymoon; it was truly the best two weeks of our lives. From the breathtaking grounds to the beautifully clean facilities, we were in awe from start to finish. The culinary experience was a standout. Every restaurant was superb, and the food is prepared with such genuine care. We have to give a special mention to Ismay’s—there is an extra surcharge, but it is one million percent worth it for a truly flawless meal. What makes this resort world-class is the people. The General Manager, Alaska, was so impressive and runs a tight ship. He was fantastic. We received exceptional service from Chelsey, Suzette, Vaugn, Samantha, Maggie, Shane, and Amanda. A big shoutout to Tarik at the bar for the delicious cocktails, and the water sports guys, including Captain Sean, who were all brilliant. It is hard to put into words how perfect this stay was. Thank you to this incredible team for making our honeymoon so memorable. We can’t recommend it enough!!

Just back from 11 wonderful, relaxing days at Galley Bay. This was our first, but definitely not our last visit to the resort.||We stayed in a superior deluxe beach front room #15, which was a single-story room. The room was spacious and was spotlessly clean, big thanks to the cleaning staff.||In the room there was a coffee machine as well as a fridge. It was restocked everyday water, sodas, beer and our choice of wine! The room opened out into a private patio with 2 sun loungers and a handheld shower. Each room has their own sun loungers and parasol on the beach as well. The air conditioning work very well.||Expansive bathroom with 2 sinks and 2 showers which were fully stocked with all toiletries. The large closet was also in the bathroom.||The restaurants on site were excellent, great variety of food, superbly prepared and presented. The Barefoot Grill was where to have lunch and highly recommend the Ham & Cheese quesadilla. Ismay's has a surcharge, so we did not feel like paying an extra charge for "fine dining" and also heard mixed reviews for there. The Tee Pee bar (Main bar) is the place to be throughout the day! Great views, drinks and laughs. Shout out to Terrick! Great customer service and very friendly.||The evening entertainment was very good and enjoyable.||All the staff were so friendly and helpful and made our vacation extra enjoyable.||Beautiful beach resort for couples, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it for a visit.

What a gem. Lovely setting - in addition to the beach, the hotel has extensive grounds with lush tropical gardens, big lagoon an organic farm and even a tortoise sanctuary! Definitely enough to do and a buggy to take you around if you don't want to walk The rooms are spacious with the beach just outside your room. Despite the hotel size, it's very intimate and friendly atmosphere and never seems busy. All the staff know you which is nice as a personal service. We had special dietary requirements which the executive chef Guven catered for - thank you! and to Chef Gwen for her loving touch.|The room reservations manager, Nola, was very helpful and went out of the way - she and ther team helped a lot when we needed up in ER with blankets and food. Guest services also were very good - quick to organise and get things done special mention of Joan and Brie. Restaurant service can be slow with orders and clearing tables but special word for Sadie and Nayma who made sure we had a special breakfast eggs! and Samantha with her bright, cherry disposition dancing whilst working. Also Sharon and Bernardine from housekeeping for their continuous help.|All in all an excellent place to unwind and soak in the sun. Only downside for us was that the sea was quite choppy a lot of the time with a red flag. But something out of control of the resort. Will go back for sure!

We had an exceptional stay at Galley Bay over Christmas 2025. The management and staff at the resort are what make this place so welcoming and relaxing.||The rooms are beautiful and clean and are serviced every day. The food in all three restaurants is outstanding and the bar staff mix the most amazing cocktails (and anything you might like to ask for as well).||We would like to extend our particular thanks to:||* The lady on the guest services desk on Saturday 20th December (I cannot remember her name unfortunately) for helping me to confirm two excursions I had booked prior to leaving London and Joan, also on the guest services desk, who followed up the confirmations with the excursion companies two days later.||* Alaska, for coming to find me in the bar one evening so that I could watch the last of the turtle hatchlings being released into the sea. I have wanted to see this all my life and Alaska made sure I did not miss a dream come true moment. He also checked in with us every time we saw him to make sure everything was going ok with our holiday.||Vincent, for his exceptional food knowledge and cooking tips! We had the most wonderful conversation with him at the resort 'returners' party'. He made sure we had a booking at Gaugin restaurant to experience the most beautifully cooked curried goat.||Gwen, (I think) for cooking the most outstanding curried goat (and everything else we ate at Gaugin restaurant.||Sandy, in the Teepee Bar for making so many of our wonderful cocktails (and for making sure we didn't miss out on your Sorrel Christmas Juice)!||Shane, for keeping us topped up with cocktails every day on the beach.||Sadi, who lost her voice on Christmas Day and Boxing Day but who still showed up for her shift when she should have been at home in bed getting well! We hope she is fully recovered now.||Natasha, for the mixology session and for creating 'Natasha's Special' cocktail which we hope gets put on the resort cocktail menu for future guests to enjoy! ||Chef Travis, for the amazing Lobster Plantain Carob cooking demonstration he gave! Wow! What a fabulous dish he made! I shall definitely try this at home!||This resort succeeds where so many others fail. The attention to detail, the thoughtful surprises for guests and the desire to make your holiday the very best it can be sets it apart from other resorts we have stayed at. We would like to visit other Caribbean islands, however, it will be very difficult to not come back to Galley Bay.||Five stars to the management, the resort and the staff. We will definitely be back and I can thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly wonderful Caribbean experience.

From day one until our final meal, the service was outstanding. The staff were exceptionally friendly and polite, and I can’t speak highly enough of their work ethic. The food also exceeded our expectations, and the surcharge for dining at Ismay’s was absolutely worth it—we enjoyed it so much that we went twice. There are countless other positives we could mention, such as how spotless our room was kept each day and how well-maintained the entire resort is. A special mention to Alaska as I clearly remember our first night after arriving late and heading to dinner. We stopped by guest services—probably looking a little lost—when Alaska happened to walk by. He was incredibly friendly and engaging, asking if it was our first time at Galley Bay and whether we were on our way to dinner. Instead of simply wishing us a pleasant evening, he walked with us to Seagrape, chatting along the way. Once there, he took our room number, seated us with an ocean view, and quickly brought our drinks. From that moment, I knew we’d made the right choice in coming to Galley Bay, and it’s a feeling I won’t forget anytime soon. A big thank you to Alaska for setting the tone for what became a wonderful honeymoon. The only real critique we had about the resort was the departure experience. We were kept waiting for over an hour, and the communication could have been better—otherwise, we would have rated it a perfect 10.

Galley Bay is a beautiful resort with a great beach and watersports crew with a matching spectacular dining and bar service. Everyone who works here is beyond helpful and kind. It feels like home. New Year’s Eve was a wonderful evening filled with wonderful food, music, drinks and fireworks on the beach. When air space became suddenly closed reception went above and beyond to help those of us stranded in paradise. I look forward to planning our second homecoming!

First time to Galley Bay and can understand why there are so many ‘returners’. Resort was amazing. We were in a wonderful Beachfront Suite. Food was brilliant, great choice and amazing quality (Met Executive Chef many times, lovely man), plus extensive drinks choice. Yoga brilliant, thanks to the lovely Mackenzie. Watersports team a credit to you, the lovely Shiloh was so welcoming. Special mention to the hard working Sonia in the Upcycle cafe. Fun garden tour with Curt. Alfred on the buggies was lovely. My husband was made up meeting Amby and what an entertainer Ebony T is! Your star staff member however was Alaska, so lovely and personable. We were lucky to witness the baby turtles hatch too. It’s one big family and we will certainly be returning ourselves!!!!

Hello everybody out there in review land! Galley Bay is amazing. Simply amazing! My wife and I are currently vacationing here. Unfortunately, this is our last full day. From the moment we entered, the staff has made us feel right at home. They are very intentive and friendly. Each restaurants serves delicious food. Each meal is as delicious as the last. So good! So much flavor! And creativity.. The presentation of the food is beautiful. I must say that I’m a big fan of chicken wings and theirs are top notch! I don’t think I’ve ever had better. We met and had some great conversations in passing with the executive chef. He is very knowledgeable and has worked all over the world. He knows exactly what he is doing and has crafted some truly amazing menus. They are extremely lucky to have him! Not much of a drinker, but the bar tenders make some delicious cocktails of which we have enjoyed very much so! Our room is very nice and spacious and not at all dingy! I don’t think that there’s a need for them to be up updated anytime soon. The design is very modern and well built! One of the best things about this place is tranquility. We have been lucky to have enjoyed a nice quiet vacation. The dominant sounds are the wage crash on the beach. I need to reiterate how amazing the staff is! Nighttime is very chill. Their live entertainment has been so great! We were lucky to have been able to catch The band three cylinders! Never heard of them before coming here. But they seem to be a pretty big deal throughout the Caribbean and have played all over the world! Did I mention how much we love the staff? We can’t recommend this place enough and hopefully we will return someday! If you are thinking of booking this place at no further and book it! Did I mention how amazing the staff is? Unfortunate we are heading back to a very snowy Brooklyn, New York, which we love and call home. Of course we’d rather stay here.
