Part of the joy of staying at Galley Bay is dining at the two alfresco restaurants. Farm-fresh offerings are prepared with care, melding Caribbean with Continental into wonderfully original dishes. Enjoy a cooling break from the sun by day or a satisfying nightcap at any one of Galley Bay's three open-air lounges. All three serve a wonderful selection of cooling Caribbean cocktails, top-shelf liquor, and wines by the glass, along with non-alcoholic beverages.
On Galley Bay's beautiful, three-quarter-mile crescent of sand, the inviting sea is a fantastic natural playground for a host of non-motorized water sports. All lessons and equipment are included, just another luxurious reason to choose an all-inclusive stay at Galley Bay. There's no reason to take a vacation from your exercise regiment while you're at Galley Bay. Free weights and cardio equipment let you keep up your routine - or start a new one - in the comfort of the air-conditioned Fitness Center. On land, you can partake of a wide array of sports and pastimes. Galley Bay features an Astro-Turf tennis court for daytime play. To put a new spin on your game, join one of the clinics or arrange for personal instruction. For the utmost in relaxation and pampering, guests are invited to explore Indulge, the beautiful spa.
Beyond the grounds of Galley Bay, a host of exciting adventures are all within easy reach. Join a Jeep adventure into the rainforest, play golf, or discover some of the island's 365 beautiful beaches. Galley Bay makes it a point to keep its guests entertained with the best local musicians, who bring island-inflected live music to the resort each night.

Apr 15, 2026Paradise!
This was our 12th visit to Galley Bay and it did not disappoint! The staff are amazing. While the location (the white sand beach and turquoise water is to die for!) and the amenities are phenomenal, the staff play a key role in our enjoyment and our desire to return again and again. The team is led by the seasoned and unflappable GM, Cedric. He takes the time to be visible and meet with the guests which is very classy. We very much appreciated the fact that our room request was honoured - the location is really important to us - thank you for making that happen! We had the opportunity to dine at all 4 restaurants (including Barefoot for quick lunches). The repeaters dinner at Ismay’s is a really nice touch. The food at all of the restaurants is creative, delicious and nicely presented. One of the other things that keeps us coming back is the quiet atmosphere. We are grateful it’s an adults only and that it is so peaceful. I enjoyed the morning yoga at 8am with Ivana - it was a great way to start the day. My husband was able to get out on the hobie a few times which he loved. We also went out with Captain Sean on Beats Workin’ (an experience not to be missed!). Tip: we used Natasha’s Taxi service to get to and from the airport. The service was friendly and reliable (and the vehicles they use are very comfortable). It was much less chaotic than taking the taxis and we thought it was reasonably priced. We would highly recommmend.

Fourth Visit Did Not Disappoint
We stayed in a Superior Deluxe Beachfront Room for the Fourth Time and it was Great 👍 The food actually keeps on getting better, if that is possible. Some of my personal favorites were the yellow fin tuna, roasted BBQ Pork, all the fruit , and the pastries. The croissants & pain au chocolat were Beyond Excellent 👍 Each night for dinner I enjoyed a spinach salad, fish of some type & a Nice French Wine 🍷 The staff is Great and it was nice to see Chelsea, Tarick, & Michael our drink guy again👍 Only one minor issue… I wish they would bring back the Cajun Fish Sandwich for lunch at the Barefoot Grill.

Heaven on Earth
This is the perfect place to come, relax, eat, drink and be merry. Most rooms are open and few steps to the gorgeous beach with your private lounge chairs, umbrellas (if you wish) and beach towels. Its all inclusive so plenty of amazing food, drinks, desserts are available from morning to after midnight. Its adults only so kids will not fit in or want to be here so leave them home. The staff goes out of their way to make you happy and all water sports are included including, sailing, snorkeling, kayaking. Will be coming back, and again.

Just Fantastic
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Galley Bay is just so consistently great. This was our 10th visit and it was so relaxing and enjoyable as always. We noticed that the menu was expanded, and as usual, our room was spotless all week, and the grounds were beautiful. If you just want to get away to paradise for a week and forget about winter, go to Galley Bay.
