Galiano Oceanfront Inn & Spa Review

Formerly the Galiano Lodge and one of the original accommodations on Galiano Island, the inn -- with an unrestricted vista onto the harbor, the busy boat traffic on Active Passage, and the lighthouse on Mayne Island -- is now a top destination in the Gulf Islands. Unique in the islands, the Galiano Inn is just a 5-minute stroll from the ferry dock, so guests can leave the car on the mainland. Each of the large, very plush rooms has a fireplace, a patio or balcony with stunning water views, and soaker or spa therapy tubs in addition to glass-walled showers. One room is wheelchair accessible. The deluxe Villa suites have large terraces, outdoor wood-burning fireplaces, outdoor baths, and outdoor grills in addition to upscale full kitchens. The eat restaurant, with notable regional cuisine, is in a separate, even more stunning building filled with Northwest Native art; Madrona del Mar Spa, a complete beauty and wellness center, shares the waterfront building.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; golf course nearby; outdoor Jacuzzi; room service; kayak/boat rentals nearby; gardens; wine shop

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
