"We celebrated our 5-year anniversary at Galley Bay at the end of May/beginning of June. We’d like to celebrate benchmark years and our stay at Galley Bay exceeded our already high expectations. It was the perfect stay to mark the occasion (and it would for any other, really).

"Blue Waters is "Heaven on Earth" and the staff is great! Make sure you go and see Tiquesha (Concierge) for all of your excursions. Also, Nichole and Julia are great if there are ever any issues with anything. I will be returning to Blue Waters next year!"
"Excellent all around, especially for its top notch fine-dining restaurant (The Cove), and 3 private beaches. But, as one should expect when in the Caribbean, overpriced food in very, very small portions. "
"The staff was friendly and courteous. The beach was just okay. Not much to do, I would not classify the property as a resort, it was just a hotel in my estimation. The rooms were clean. "

"We celebrated our 5-year anniversary at Galley Bay at the end of May/beginning of June. We’d like to celebrate benchmark years and our stay at Galley Bay exceeded our already high expectations. It was the perfect stay to mark the occasion (and it would for any other, really).
Taking the taxi from the airport was no fuss, but don’t worry about how Antiguans drive - it’s how they drive here and it works. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a Rum Punch and a beautiful view down the bridge that crosses over the lagoon. The grounds are exquisitely manicured and a bike ride or walk is recommended. Our room was clean, on the sand, and literally opened to the water. Nothing beats waking up with a view of the beautiful bay and rocks on the distance. Facilities were well-kept for a coastal property. Restaurants were comfortable and had beautiful views onto the bay.
(Review is brief - Expedia’s word limit.) When it comes to staff, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will say not to expect every staff member to be overly eager to serve you, but they will still get the job done. Watersports guys were great. Tafari treated us extremely well. Ebony from the farm was amazing. Captain Sean’s outings are a must! And Shirley Heights is a great party atmosphere and an amazing view. Ismay’s is exquisite. Food all-around was delicious. Keep in mind that this is the perfect place to relax, not party, though there is live music nightly. Snorkeling in the bay is great."

"The Management and Staff were exceptional. We were greeted with endless smiles and house pets who were most adorable. The team gifted us a bottle for champagne since it was a birthday celebration. The service was impeccable. We asked for late check out because we wanted to take advantage of the 2 beaches and the 24hrs salt water pool more (really we won't ready to leave). Breakfast was 10/10. Drinks 10/10. "
