We had a week at Galley bay in May for our 50th & 60th Birthday celebrations and stayed in a Gauguin cottage. The resort is very small but if you just want the most wonderful relaxing holiday in the sunshine with excellent food and friendly staff then this is the place for you. If you are deciding between a cottage... More

This was a special holiday for us and we chose Galley Bay after a recommendation from a friend. We loved it. The beech front location was beautiful and there was so much space. The food and service were excellent.

We have traveled to a lot of Caribbean islands as well as Mexico. We always look at TripAdvisor for reviews. We are sadly disappointed by this hotel. It received excellent reviews and we would disagree. The rooms are horrid, the bathroom is old and hot. The air conditioning in the room does not work properly. Instead of bar soap you... More

We just checked in today & this place is definitely not worth the $$$. I paid approx $14,000. for the four (4) of us (2 rooms - beachfront). If you are thinking about coming here, My Advice Is Do Not come here - it is not worth the $$$. We have been to numerous other Beach places (Mexico, Dominican Republic,... More

We travelled last week of May, first week of June. Weather was great, a little rain, a few clouds but mostly sunny. The hotel was fantastic. Staff were friendly and always helpful. The general manager was wandering around ensuring guests were happy. Rooms and bathrooms perhaps a little tired, but our superior beachfront room was right on the most beautiful... More

This was probably one of the best vacation experiences I have had. I grew up spending summers on Cape Cod and was a little reticent about Caribbean vacations. I kept thinking of overcrowded, large cruise-ship experiences...and I was totally wrong. My boyfriend and I had the beach practically to ourselves. We had a premium ocean front suite. The beach is...

The only reason to put this hotel into the very good category, is the splendid, crescent shaped, just about perfect beach. Nice breezes, good beach chairs, showers, pristine white sand, no seaweed, shallow drop off, minimal wave action, all water sports, on & on. The beach front,premium cottages are very spacious, but a bit shop worn. The doors don't fit... More

We spent 8 great days at Galley Bay, and it lived up to expectations. It wasn't perfect, but it was a great honeymoon, and we'd definitely go back (especially since returning customers seem to get such preferential treatment). All of the positive reviews cover how we feel; Great beach, great food, Ismay's is worth it, the staff is mostly awesome,... More
