Galiano Oceanfront Inn and Spa

My favourite place to stay on Galiano. Perfect location - walking distance to shops and restaurants, and close to the ferry. Best kept secret on Galiano is right downstairs - the pizza patio! Accommodations are always clean and cozy and staff is friendly and helpful!

Galiano Oceanfront Inn was the loveliest getaway imaginable! Service and food were both great. Of special note is the Madrona del Mar Spa. I wish I could give it 6 stars! My daughter and I had a fabulous experience there: massage, facial and pedicure for a wonderfully relaxing day. The ambience is beautiful; Chelsea and Eric are welcoming, attentive and SO good at what they do; and the products are delightful. I loved the island vibe as well - its amazing to look out at the ocean as you lose track of time while being g completely Pampered. It was an absolute treat.

We were very dissapointed in the level of service provided. My wife and i finally had an evening without the kids and treated ourselves to dinner. After our original order, we recieved a terrible appy and finished our drinks. We waited over 20 minutes before someone came from the back to see if we wanted anything else. If it was busy it is understandable but with only 3 other couples, and the staff hiding in the back, the service made it easy to get the cheque and leave to go for dinner somewhere else

We wished we had not chosen this hotel. Ruined our weekend away. We have stayed at another inn on Galiano and had a wonderful time (they were not available). Galiano Inn looks good on the website and from the outside-but it's deceiving. If you want an uncomfortable bed, pillows, bedding was not clean (found crumbs/dirt and a used bandaid in the sheets-yuck). We barely slept. Tried a hot bath/shower-the water is brown, odorous and not drinkable and no other water provided. We called and notified them about these issues and were told the housekeeping is gone for the day, no other pillows available, the water is because of 'the island' (we have used and drank tap water before on Galiano)...we were told we would get a refund but did not. Extremely disappointed from what we hoped and how expensive it is vs the reality. If you want to enjoy your trip-stay anywhere but here. Lived and learned.

Beautiful Staycation spot. Awesome spa treatment. Food was wonderful but restaurant drafty since the boiler was out of commission. Can't say enough about this place. Loved our stay and highly recommended as a getaway!

Nice inn. Location was okay right on the water and by the ferry. However, it was extremely dead at the resort with little Amenities, the hot tub looked green and murky.We stayed for Father’s Day weekend and I don’t know if it was because it was before summer vacations but the place was EMPTYThe girls working at the restaurant were amazing!! So friendly and the best espresso martinis we’ve ever had. But the menu was lacklustre.The resort would flourish with activities, a shuttle to the pub and better menu and maybe offer a brunch of some sort. Live music at happy hour patio would have been great too.Jay at front desk was great but when he wasn’t there, there was absolutely no help.Also someone knocked in the door and told us to leave at 10am when checkout is clearly 11 everywhere on the website.Book the villa with the hot tub!!

This is a nice property overall, although it is beginning to feel a bit neglected. The rooms are comfortable but the service feels somewhat lacking for the price range. The continental breakfast is minimal and basically the same thing each day, no options to choose from and no accommodations for dietary requirements. I think if you are going to charge top dollar you need to provide an exceptional experience. This was an okay experience but certainly not an exceptional one.

My husband got food poisoning from bad salad or chicken and it ruined the last day of our holiday on the island. We were the only table there and kitchen must have gotten sloppy. The service however was excellent but what's the point with mediocre food.

Amazing piece of heaven. Secluded but also close to great bakery, restaurant and convenience store. Breath-taking view with personal hot tub overlooking the water. Great concept of picking up your breakfast ensemble to go. Gorgeous garden and lots of quiet places to discover. Would definitely love to stay again with my family!
