We just returned after a week at The Oyster Bay Beach Resort. I was very nervous about staying there after reading a lot of the negative reviews. However, from check in to check out everything was very positive. The rooms were clean and very spacious. Construction was right across from our room and we rarely heard any noise. There were... more

Just got back from Oyster Bay at St. Martin. Front desk very friendly and attentive as long as your friendly to them. One girl even gave me a nice hug on the day I left. Rooms: Not great, plenty fine for the price though. My room had A/C and I did not pay for it. This resort is not the... more

After reading a few disparaging reviews, my new husband and I didn't know what to expect from Oyster Bay Beach Resort. We assumed it would be livable but, perhaps, not luxurious. We were right about that, but having just returned I'm eager to dispel any horror stories about "slum like" conditions and rampant pests. Unless you travel with the Gabor... more

I traded my Orlando timeshare into this one, staying 8/30/08 till 9/06/08. We were given a 2 bed 2 bath directly oceanfront. Gorgeous view. I did call a few days in advance and did request an oceanfront unit which they did give us on check in. Check in was the most disappointing part of our stay. I had read the... more

Hubby and I were there for a week the end of August. Hurricanes coming and going all around us but none bothered us too much at OBBR. I'm giving the property a "neutral" rating because it wasn't ALL bad =] Having to pay for a/c is ridiculous -- I paid for my room, a/c should come with it. But I've... more

We traded one of our interval timeshare weeks for Oyster Bay Beach Resort . We had been to St. Maarten twice before, but it has been over 15 years since our last visit (we last stayed at Pelican in 1992). We called the toll-free number for OBBR a few weeks ago and requested a beach-front room. We were told it... more

I read lots of reviews about the OBBR before we went and most were a love it or hate it scenario. We fell in between so I would like to give you some facts before you go so you can decide. This is a small boutique style timeshare residence. There are 2 restaurants on property and a bar with snacks.... more

Our Best friends have been going to St. Maarten for the past 10 years. They kept asking us to join them. We fianlly did and made our first trip in Aug. of 2006. We stayed at the OBBR in a 2 bedroom villa facing the bay. The resort is in one of the most beautiful sections of the island. We... more

The resort is in a quiet, remote but very scenic area - which we prefer to the hustle and bustle of the areas nearer to Marigot & Philipsburg. The resort is secure and well-kept. The rooms are average but comfortable and you can find what you need there. They change your towels, fix your bed and provide toiletries everyday. We... more
