HOTEL INFORMATION |
GALLEY BAY
Five Islands
P.O. Box 305
St. Johns, Antigua
Distance from Hotel to Town/St. John's, 10 minutes.
Distance from Hotel to V.C. Bird International Airport, 25 minutes.
Galley Bay is an all-inclusive beachfront hideaway created for
discerning travelers in search of a refined, yet unpretentious
escape. It enjoys a secluded setting amidst forty-acres of lush,
tropical gardens between a bird sanctuary lagoon and a 3/4 mile
beach on the undeveloped west coast of Antigua. Great care has
been taken to ensure the resort not only compliments, but also
takes full advantage of these untouched natural surroundings.
Thatch, bamboo, and terracotta combine to establish an ambience
of elegant rusticity in the alfresco public areas, whilst a
picturesque wooden deck ensures maximum exposure to the ocean
views. There is little disruption from the outside world as
access to the resort is via a wooden bridge traversing the bird
sanctuary. The 69-guest rooms are discreetly tucked away amidst
the palms, more than three-quarters of them lying directly on
the white sand beach and boasting breathtaking views of the
Caribbean Sea- the comfortable Superior and Deluxe Rooms all
feature private terraces or balconies, whilst sunken living
rooms, floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive bathrooms with
deep-soaking tubs distinguish the Premium Suites. Home-from-home
comforts throughout include air conditioning, ceiling fans,
satellite TVs, mini-refrigerators and coffee makers. Set just
behind close to the bird sanctuary is the unique Gauguin cottages
with their own individual splash pools. Designed as semi-private
sanctuaries for couples, each one consists of two thatched-roof
rondovals (one a bedroom and the other a bathroom/dressing room),
as well as splash pools with paved sundecks, many of them
overlooking the lagoon. Woven bamboo ceilings, uneven whitewashed
walls and cool terracotta tiling establish their charming
Caribbean theme, whilst the beach is no more than fifty-yards away.
In keeping with Galley Bay's tranquil, escapist ambience,
recreational activities tend to be of a relaxing nature and
guests are generally quite content to sunbathe on the sands
or around the landscaped swimming pool. Those in the mood
for a little action, however, can take advantage of the
championship tennis court, air-conditioned fitness room or
non-motorized watersports, such as windsurfing, sailing,
snorkeling and kayaking. Massages are also available on-site,
scuba-diving can be arranged nearby, whilst golf on two 18-hole
golf courses are less than 30-minutes drive away. Dining is also
an important part of any stay at Galley Bay, the European
Executive Chef specializing in Euro-Caribbean cuisine that
makes the most of fresh local produce and seafood. Guests
seeking a change from the a la carte fine dining experience
of The Sea Grape can enjoy the grilled fare of the more intimate
Gauguin restaurant, both dining venues alfresco and just steps
from the Caribbean Sea. Afternoon tea, evening hors doeuvres,
live entertainment, cocktail parties and Caribbean barbecues
all contribute to the hotels sociable, tropical ambience,
whilst the personal service from the staff contributes to
its exceptionally high repeat-guest quota.
