Eighth visit

This was our 8th at Galley Bay. We first came in 2007 and have chosen to return every now and then as we can be assured of a perfect stay each time. We love the upper floor beach front suites with the vaulted ceiling and spacious balcony providing a perfect view of the beach, trees and the Caribbean Sea. The food was delicious of course and is always a highlight. There is a wide variety of fresh fish available each day and always cooked to order. The salads are fresh, crispy and flavoursome with a Caribbean touch to them. Rum n’ raisin ice cream is always a favourite with us. The addition of the coffee shop which is open all day is another lovely touch. Coffee piping hot and fresh cookies, pastries, sandwiches and fruit available as if it’s needed having indulged in three full meals a day. We didn’t manage any food from the Barefoot grill but it was certainly popular. The Gauguin is our favourite restaurant where you are seated at your own cabana on the beach. I discovered the morning yoga with Mackenzie on this visit. This is held in the pavilion on the beach. What a wonderful setting for these sessions even during a rain storm. Mackenzie is clearly an experienced yoga instructor and tailored each session to the abilities of the participants. It’s an ‘all levels’ session and as a complete beginner I was able to manage the whole class. As the days progressed newer positions were added. A totally relaxing holiday. We will return!
Relax, eat, drink, swim repeat!

We've just come back from 10 days of sheer bliss at Galley Bay. Where do you start! The resort itself is absolutely fantastic. We stayed in one of the deluxe beechfront rooms and the accommodation was perfect. You just opened the doors & stepped out onto the beach. You also have your own outside shower which is great. All the staff were very friendly and professional. The cocktails are superb. The food was outstanding and we were very impressed with the quality in all of the restaurants so much so that we didn't get to book Ismay's because we enjoyed the food so much in the others but we will next time because we are looking at dates for next year so as we can go and enjoy paradise all over again! Visiting Shirley Heights is a must, particularly on a Sunday when all the locals show you how to party!!
