Hotels near Nelson's Dockyard

"As is very typical of this resort: everything is kept a secret that it is up to the visitor to figure out. For instance, the beach photo shown of the property is the beach where the seaweed washes in daily. There is no swimming but there is a big stink. Their remedy (there is none for the problem) is to send a tractor with trailer onto the beach every morning at 7am to grind away while workers clean up. Sleep in on vacation? Forget it! The swimming beach is on the large bay also shown in the photo. The water is definitely dirty. No one informs you of what restaurants are open when: you must ask. And if you get that information, someone else will tell you something different and no one tells you to make dinner reservations days ahead of when you might actually want to go to one of the restaurants. The absence of information was really annoying. Could they not provide all the information in a one-page handout including a resort map at checkin or in the room? On the plus side, the resort is kid friendly and food is good."

"We were a little sceptical about Galleon Beach Resort due to limited reviews but we did not regret booking. Upon arrival Talia showed us down to Sea Breeze - cottage number 10. She left a welcome sheet providing her mobile number incase we needed it, numbers of taxis etc. The cottage was beautiful with a living area with two small couches, a kitchenette with microwave, toaster, coffee maker, fridge water cooler and 2 plate hob. We had two large bedrooms, the Master with ensuite, plus a second bathroom with shower. The highlight of the cottage was having the sea right on our doorstep, we loved sitting out on the patio watching the boats, listening to the birds and the waves. The snorkelling from here was also the best we've experienced. Over the three nights we stayed, we saw Sea Turtles, an Eagle Ray, Puffer fish, baby squid, and hundreds of fish. As we didn't have a car we called a taxi to take us around to English harbour (there is also a water taxi) which cost $15 each way and visited Nelsons Dockyard, had lunch and got some supplies from the Coventry garden supermarket. It was easy to get a return taxi back from the taxi rank at the Dockyards. We prebooked for the same driver to pick us up later that day and take us to Shirley heights for the Thursday night party (also $15). We booked the Loose Cannon beach bar for dinner for two nights, small menu but the Explosive prawns were exquisite. Highly recommend staying in these beachfront cottages!"

"excellent stay"

"The apartment exceeded my expectations! It was quiet and clean and close to the English harbor. The live hibiscus pedals on the bed as a nice touch. The communication is as also excellent. Very clear with directions. "
