About the Galley Bay Resort & Spa
There are no bad beaches in Antigua but this is one of the better beaches and practically difficult to be used by the public. Galley Bay Resort is a popular choice for getting married, so why not tie the knot in Antigua? One of the higher-rated Antigua resorts.
This is an adult-only hotel, with a focus on customer satisfaction, according to the reviews. It is said that the staff greet customers by name and remember minor details that can really make your stay special.
This resort appears to be a favourite with couples, honeymooners and those celebrating birthdays and anniversaries, which is probably due in no small part to the customer's reviews of the service and attention to detail mentioned above.

"This is definitely a nice size resort loaded with peace and tranquillity which caters to Adults. I consider this location as my Oceanview paradise. They have a nice selection of Ocean Front and Oceanview rooms and restaurants. The spa is a definite must. They have everything you need from a gym, classes, beach, pool with cascading waterfalls, bars, tennis courts and the list goes on. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Strongly recommend."- source Trip Advisor

"My husband and I spent our honeymoon at Galley Bay 17 years ago and it was wonderful. We were on a cruise last week and visited Antigua so I phoned in advance and asked if we could have lunch at Galley Bay. We were welcomed with our friends and family. Peter and Bridesphine looked after us beautifully and served us a fantastic lunch and drinks. Thank you so much, it was very special to return. We will be booking another holiday at Galley Bay very soon." - source Trip Advisor
