We exchanged into the Galleon thru RCI and stayed in a 2 BR suite with another couple. They put us in the "worst view" 2 br suite (garden view 2nd floor) but it still had a nice view of the ocean from our patio. Here are THE PROS: the location was unbeatable. We were a few blocks from Mallory Square (see the Cat Man show!) and had water on 2 sides of the property. The Galleon has a marina which is part of a larger marina with restaurants, cruises, and fishing excursions right at our fingertips. The grounds are also well maintained with lots of decking and lounge chairs along the water. There was tiki bar, an adequate pool, and a rooftop platform for viewing amazing sunsets that was awesome. THE CONS: the unit was built on the 70s. Many updates had been done but the whirlpool tub was clean but in bad shape. The furniture was nice and clean and the unit was clean when we got there except the floors were dirty (walking barefoot got your feet black). The staff is not overly helpful and they have a lot of rules that are in place because a few people ruined it for the rest of us. And the workout room was horrible - broken equipment and a strong smell of mold.
Overall - if you want a nice clean place to stay in a perfect location, go to the Galleon and have the time of your life.

The Galleon is a gem! We stayed there before and will definately come back. The location is great. The pool and tiki bar is the best. You can't beat it!

“Wonderful Resort but dissapointed how problem was addressed”

4/5 found this review helpful

We loved the resort with the small beach, pool, marina, and bar. There could be some small updates with the units, but overall we were pleased. The big problem was the night before we left. We came in around 11:30 and the airconditioner was not working, and by this time there wasn't anyone at the front desk. I called security which was listed for emergency. He basically told me that no one would come that late to fix the airconditioner. It was 80 degrees in the room and climbing. It was miserable. We didn't sleep, and my 3 year old coughed all night because he was so hot. I kept calling and finally somerone came an hour before check out time the next morning, and looked at it and left. We were sweating trying to pack our bags, and then they had the nerve to call and rudely tell us that it was ten minutes after ten and we needed to get out. This was the final straw.
It is a nice palce to stay with a great location, but beware if you have an issue or problem; don't expect it to be addressed in a timely manner.

“Be Careful where you stay”

5/5 found this review helpful

The weather was great, the food was great, but the accomodations were very scary. The middle G units are directly above the garbage facilty. This makes the smell unbearable on a warm day. The room was broken in to say the least. It resembled a college frat house after the party was over. I heard that the suites were nice so be careful what room you book.

“Absolutely wonderful”

3/3 found this review helpful

This was our first visit to the Galleon Resort, and we hope not our last. We traded our RCI week in Ocean City, Maryland for this resort. The place was just wonderful! We stayed in unit B43, on the 4th floor, overlooking the pool and the Gulf of Mexico. We had a perfect view of the great Key West sunsets right from our balcony every night. The unit itself was clean, large, and supplied with all the necessities in the kitchen. Perhaps the furnishings were somewhat dated, however, they were clean and in perfect repair. We would only replace the carpeting in the bedrooms - they were old, but again, clean. the rest of the floors were ceramic tile. We had a 2 bedroom unit, with a large balcony from the living room and master bedroom. There was a large jacuzzi in the master bath (with a shower), and a large nicely tiled shower in the 2nd bathroom. There were 3 tv's, a vcr, and a dvd player. The pool was spotlessly clean, and we observed Mark, the pool keeper, cleaning the pool and beach area each morning before guest use. The beach was nice, clean, and the gulf water was very refreshing. The location of the resort is perfect - you can walk anywhere from the resort. Favorite restaurants were Trattoria Italian restaurant on Duval Street, A&B Seafood (right next to the resort on the marina) and Bo's. We had a ball in key west, and are already trying to trade again at this resort. Just perfect!
