We have stayed here twice on a time share exchange. The place is showing its age and the new "Lighthouse" structure is one of the ugliest buildings on the island but we like the location because it is away from the noise, congestion, casinos, and shopping areas. In contrast to some of the reviews, we found the staff very polite... more

My husband and I went for a week to celebrate our one year anniversary. Upon arriving to OBBR, we were waiting in line to check in and a hotel staff person came over and asked for our names. He went behind the desk, got our information and brought us to our room. This was great and we didn't have to... more

Just got back, here's a recap of our impressions: - Generally: if you go expecting some dazzling Waldorf Astoria type place, you'll probably come back ranting and whining. Go in with modest expectations (which we did after reading these reviews) and you should be fine, at least we were. - We had an efficiency on the bayside (marina). It was... more

My husband and I were actually taken aback by the indifferent attitude of the hotel and desk staff. They were an immediate "NO" to virtually all of our requests. We are frequent travelers and easy going people so we were constantly amazed at the negativity we experienced. Additionally the place is in grave disrepair, chipped paint, stained walkways and steps.... more

My wife and I stayed at OBBR for a week, swapping a Marriott week in order to be with friends who have a timeshare at OBBR. Even though I swapped a one-bedroom unit, and even though it was really low-season (about 25% occupancy at the resort) we were placed in an efficiency (#3910) that looked over the street ,through the... more

Oyster Bay Beach Resort is one of my favorites. Everything is always clean and activities are always going on. The rooms can use an update, as per management that will be happening soon. The staff is friendly and very accomodating. more

My husband and I stayed at the OBBR for our anniversary. I was a bit nervous after reading some of the reviews but we ended up having a great time! We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite which was very clean and in good condition. Our only complaint was the view. From the kitchen window, we saw the marina but... more

The second night we were there, I couldn't sleep, so I got up around 1:30 am and decided to check my email. I sat right there in the dining room while a rat walked from the living room into the kitchen, and crawled under the dishwasher. I immediately called the front desk and was told that there was nothing they... more

We just returned from a week long stay at the Oyster Bay. The location requires you to rent a car if you want to go anywhere other than the resort.....but the setting is very pretty. We had a marina view 2 bedroom & the unit was clean, spacious & stocked adequately. The room decor was on the dated/cheap side, but... more
