The Galley Bay is the most magical resort! Truly tropical, set in paradise, romantic and vibrant! The rooms are beautifully decorated, the grounds are kept beautifully and the beach and sea are sublime. All food was excellent with lots of choice across the whole day. We really could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you everyone at Galley Bay!

Galley Bay is a beautiful resort! If you want to relax and be treated well alongside a beautiful beach, this is the place to go! The room was absolutely amazing! It was by far, the nicest room we’ve ever stayed in.My only complaint was that Wi-Fi was really only working in the rooms, and the restaurant choices were limited since only one or two a day was open.

Our room was nice and big. It was literally on the beach. We walked out of our room onto the beautiful beach. We had our own beach chairs and umbrella. The food was very good. The staff was very friendly. It was very much like a boutique resort. There was plenty of activities to do. The snorkeling was good right off the end of the resort.
