We just came back from Oyster bay resort through Interval International. Before we left, we did not know what to expect based on mixed reviews. Here is the summary of my vacation. Location: You must have a car to enjoy the island. Once you rent a car, you can travel around to truly enjoy the variety of place in French... more

We read the reviews here and we saw the mixed results, but we were very pleased with our stay here. It is pretty remote, but we rented a jeep and drove around the island several times for our weeks stay and went to all the different beaches. No matter where you stay you still want to explore, so we were... more

Like many I was a little scared after reading the reviews on tripadvisor. So I obviously expected the worse. To my surprise I was very satisfied with OBBR for the week we stayed. Check in was easy--yes the front desk didn't seem to care or wasn't quite friendly but whatever, I had no problems. They did wisk us away to... more

We are owners of Oyster Bay Beach Resort, however, we had never vacationed here before. We were a little nervous after reading other reviews on trip advisor. We were very pleased upon arrival as everything went smooth. Our flight arrived on time and the guys from Unity car rental were waiting for us at the airport. We asked for directions... more

We tried to exchange a timeshare week for Jamaica without success. Oyster Bay opened up so we decided to come to this resort by default. I had some reservations about the quality of service before coming to the island because every time I tried to call the resort for questions, the phone number on the website would give me 1)... more

We chose to visit the island for our honeymoon. We have used a timeshare on multiple occasions and OBBR is by far the WORST and most disappointing place we have stayed at. We found the staff to be rude and unhelpful. Our room reservation was wrong. We were supposed to be in a one bedroom. The staff could care less.... more

I recommend the Oyster Bay Beach Resort to anyone going to St. Marteen. It is very well located, permitting access to all parts of the island. The front desk and concierge personnel are very cordial and helpful. The room was large and clean. And the nearby restaurants were useful when you don't feel like driving to Gran Case or Philipsburgh... more

Not much good to say about our stay at Oyster Bay Beach Resort. We had to trip through the construction zone (had to park far away) to get to our marina view room (the view to the other side was construction equipment and rubble). The marina view was good, with a nice balcony where we liked to hang out in... more

After reading many of the negative reviews, I was very nervous about our week vacation, but ended up being pleasantly surprised. What most people need to remember is that it is St. Maarten -- not New York, or Paris, or Palm Springs. It is an island where the people are very laid back and the accomodations and resort are not... more

First, we did not get oceanview, which is what we paid for..we got partial oceanview that was basically covered by the neighboring palm trees and the horrendous smell of sewage when the wind blew a certain direction, needless to say, not much time spend out on the balcony. Second, this resort is VERY outdated..needs a total remodel job..also needed is... more
