Happy couple married in May

I would get married again in The Galway Bay

We can't recommend The Galway Bay enough as they were absolutely perfect for our wedding on the 15th of April! From the first meeting with Alannah we were hooked, we were so well looked after and felt extremely welcomed. The Ballyvaughan suite was decorated beautifully. We had 100 guests and everyone just slotted in so well - not too crowded but with plenty of room for our guests who were in prams. All the staff were so friendly and made everything so easy. I would get married again here

Everything was perfect

I stayed at this hotel for a wedding, the staff are lovely, nothing is too much trouble. Everything was perfect, rooms are nice and clean, restaurant food is good, would definitely stay here again

We had our daughters wedding here, and the attention to detail was just amazing, Alana and Louise went above and beyond,and made us feel very special, All the staff are just so friendly, can't praise them enough, from the managers to the service crew, bar staff waiting staff reception , and the girls in the leisure centre ,were all just great, I will definitely be back in a couple of months to explore more of Salthill, and staying in the amazing Galway Bay. Thank you for making our daughters day

What a fab hotel. We were here for 2 nights for a wedding and i have to stay our stay was very enjoyable. Bar service was a little slow and they could have done with a few more staff behind the bar. Breakfast was great.

Brilliant staff and wonderful atmosphere

Attended a wedding in the hotel and it was brilliant! The food was excellent and staff are so friendly. Special mention to Serena who served our table and was so attentive and no request was too much. The atmosphere in the bar for the drinks reception and during the meal was second to none and I would definitely recommend the hotel. Thanks to Louise who ran a great service, Chef Ciara & Alan and Ben from the bar who could not have done enough for us!
