We stayed at the Galley Bay for 11 Nights. One of the most idyllic places we have been to and we have been to many. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by two friendly receptionists, cold flannels and a rum punch. Is there a nicer way to be greeted after a long journey from England? Things could get... more

We stayed at Galley Bay the end of June beginning on July for our honeymoon. We weren’t disappointed. If you want music, several activities, take your young children, and loads of noise this isn’t the place for you! It was absolute heaven, a quiet restful place and no children! There is nothing more we could add to this wonderful resort... more

Reading through the reviews (mainly by honeymooners who inevitably see things differently) you might be led to think that this is the perfect resort. Whilst is is lovely and may be just what you're looking for we'd like to offer you a more balanced view. We are seasoned travellers (business and pleasure) who have revelled in 5 star luxury and... more

We stayed at Galley Bay for our fantastic 3 week honeymoon from Wens 16th July - Wens 6th Aug 2008. It really is the most beautiful hotel, it's well thought out, excellently maintained, clean, quiet and ALL staff were friendly and helpful. It gave a wonderful air of relaxation and luxury. All the previous great reviews are correct, I will... more

My husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary at Galley Bay in July. We were looking for something other than what large resorts offered, and Galley Bay fit perfectly! The resort is not grand, like a Ritz or 4 seasons, but it is serene and QUIET! We were greeted with rum punch and cold towels and since we were celebrating... more

We stayed at Galley Bay from 5th to 19th July. Arrived tired and hot after a long flight from London and were greeted with cold towels and a rum punch. Very welcome! The reception staff were friendly and efficient. We were then taken, with our luggage on a short tour of the resort by golf buggy before going to our... more

Mu husband and I travel frequently and were looking for a quiet all inclusive, adults only place to go-not easy to find, but we did at Galley Bay! We opted for one of the cottages and absolutely loved it. The staff was awesome and attended graciously to our every need. Everyone was so accommodating, even down to the general manager... more

Just back from 11 night stay at Galley Bay which we chose having read the reviews on tripadvisor. We wanted something special as we were getting married and we could not have chosen better. We had the wedding at the resort and were the only wedding that took place while we were there. Jennie was the wedding coordinator and she... more

We have just returned from our 3rd visit to Galley Bay Resort. The first time we stayed was on 2002, then again in 2005 and this hotel never disappoints. I will start with the food, in charge of the kitchens is Andy the British Chef - the food that is produced demonstrates Andy's management and training capability - in all... more

We have just returned from a wonderful ten days at Galley Bay, and recommend it highly. We really appreciated Trip Advisor reviews before we went, so wanted to write a detailed review to help others decide whether this is the resort for them. We booked with Virgin Holidays, which was great. On arrival at Galley Bay we were welcomed, as... more
