Guests at Carlisle Bay can do as little or as much as they want. A former British colony, the island still has a distinctly British air, albeit with an island lilt. Just a two-hour flight from Miami , Antigua is a small island – about 11 miles wide and 14 miles long. 

Looking up Carlisle Bay, Antigua

We are hoping to return to this beautiful hotel next year. If it is possible to change anything to make it better, my suggestion would have to be, have another room at the club for the older children. To a guest, the hotel’s ease with its surroundings is palpable, and the simple act of hanging out will quickly make you feel like part of the Treasure Beach community. Sure, your family can hang solo in one of the casual Moroccan-style cottages, which are a few steps from both the beach and the saltwater pool. Once you submit your reservation form and payment details to your chosen booking site they will contact the hotel to confirm your reservation. If the hotel confirms your reservation request, your credit card will be charged and you will receive a confirmation email.

These charming, completely private cottages feature white-washed walls and high-peaked ceilings with overhead paddle fans, projecting the atmosphere of recreation, relaxation and romance, characteristic of Galley Bay vacations. At the end of each day, you’ll relax in rustic, quintessentially Caribbean accommodations featuring terra cotta floors, rattan furniture, local artwork and louvered windows. It’s quiet and the beach is relaxing. On one night, the resort lounge showcased a great band.

The resort’s private pool features waterfalls which offer the perfect spot to relax. They also offer an air-conditioned fitness center and activities such as water sports (sunfish, hobie cat sailboats, and kayaks), snorkeling off the wreck of the Andes, and golfing at one of the two 18-hole gold courses within close distance to the resort. Galley Bay is perfect for a completely relaxing time where you can pretty much keep yourself to yourself and everything is at hand when you want it. We had a beach front room with a view. Galley Bay, an intimate, Caribbean hideaway, delights guests with its refined, unpretentious atmosphere and its relaxing, all-inclusive pricing. Its glimmering turquoise seascapes and lush gardens create a relaxing, natural setting for those who want to decompress and escape from the world.

The beach and sea are the focal point of each relaxing day, with nature trails, water sports, and boat trips to Tobago Cays offering a dash of excitement. Elegant evenings begin with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres in the alfresco bar and end with candelit dinners in the Royal Palm restaurant. The concierge arranges your activities, from horseback riding and water sports to day-long excursions, while you relax poolside or on Tobago’s gorgeous beaches. You deserve to be pampered and Coco Reef makes sure you are.

It also includes access to the hotel’s secluded bayside beach, snorkeling, sunfish sailing, windsurfing, kayaking, tennis courts, croquet, a freshwater swimming pool and fitness center. Villa Nicobar is a stunning new spacious villa located in the exclusive Galley Bay and has uninterrupted views of the sea and beach. The most luxurious products have been used, sourced throughout Europe by an international interior designer. There are two restaurants on site, you’ll find superb dining at the Turtle Restaurant offering a wide selection and casual fare at the Beach House. There are of course great cocktails and an interesting wine list available at the resorts two cocktail bars.

The resort is on it’s own beach so it’s quiet. The pool never seems to be used much although it’s huge, I guess the beach is just so much better. And Galley Bay’s 70 rooms are nestled in 40 acres of beautiful gardens with a historic windmill, a lagoon, bird sanctuary and a very private 3/4 mile white-sand beach. All guests are taken to their rooms in a golf cart on arrival, even though all of the amenities and rooms are within easy walking distance. Large beach patios & modern bathrooms. First floor walk-out onto beach.
