This is an incredible property. The location is fantastic. Our room was phenomenal. We can’t say enough good things about the staff and how incredibly helpful and friendly they were. The food was amazing with daily changes to the menu in all restaurants - I wouldn’t pay the extra for Ishmay restaurant as the food in the other restaurants was just as good. Pay the extra for the tomahawk steak instead in Seagrape. Would we go back - in a heartbeat. If you go you will have a fantastic stay - enjoy!

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.
