I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The oceanfront views were stunning, and the grounds were well taken care of. The staff provided decent service, especially in the restaurants. However, I faced several issues with the room's maintenance and cleanliness that really impacted my stay. Overall, it was disappointing for the price I paid.

I had a lovely three-day escape on the Gulf Island. The one-bedroom suite we rented was comfortable and well-furnished, offering a fantastic view of Active Pass. However, I found the prices a bit high without any discounts, which took away from the overall value of our stay. The dining options were enjoyable around the island, but not at the Inn itself.

The Galiano Inn offers a beautiful and intimate setting that's perfect for a getaway, featuring stunning ocean views and spacious villas.
