Oyster Bay Beach Resort

The bar staff was super friendly

Breakfast

nice friendly staff. price was reasonable.

More choices of restaurants at location. There is on 2 restaurants on this property. Not enough activities doing our time of visiting. Food service was very slow at the Infinity restaurant.

On sait que la barrière de la langue c’est compliqué mais il y a des personnes qui ont fait l’effort et ça nous a vraiment aidé. Le barman super gentil il parlait un peu créole … mention spécial pour lui. La piscine, la vue, la Suite c’était bien. Les snack étaient très bon, les enfants ont adorés. On a pu faire un tour avec une petite voiture de golf. Là aussi. Le jeune hyper serviable.

Le canapé lit pour les enfants pas très confortable voir pas du tout. Mériterait d’être changé. Présence de fourmis donc vaut mieux tout mettre au réfrigérateur. Et si je devais rajouter un détail ce serait bien de mettre un séchoir qu’on puisse mettre les vêtements à sécher sur le balcon.

We had an amazing week at Oyster Bay and we were fortunate on getting placed in a studio room 2920, literally right on the water. You could hear the waves. We traded our 2 br Marriott for this studio, although a smaller room than we are used to, we wanted to try someplace new. This villa had everything we needed, and literally right on the water, comfortable, and quiet. I'm fussy about soft sheets on my bed, and this resort had very nice soft sheets, so A++ for that. Right from the start of our stay, everyone, including check in staff, maintenance staff on property (always working and painting, etc.), staff at both restaurants were super friendly. Everyone was always waving and greeting us with smiles. Big thanks to Precious, our lovely housekeeper, who came every day and kept our room tidy and looking beautiful. The Veranda Market had everything you'd need like coffee and fruit and staple items. We had a car and ventured out every day to walk the lovely beaches on the island. But coming back "home" to our room all neat and tidy was a great way to rest from our busy beach days. Thank you Oyster Bay Beach Resort for a lovely week spent at your resort. We hope to be back some day.

Was sexually assaulted by a staff member, Rohan Williams, and management refused to do anything. Not being from SXM , I declined to call the police. I was made to feel it was all my fault. This man is a serial predator.

Nous avons tout aimé de la chambre d'hôtel à la piscine, le lieu le repas tout était très, très bien

We have been coming here for a number of years and have always enjoyed our trip. Starting last year the sargassum took over the beach. It was much worse this year. Even though a guy with a tractor makes a valiant effort every morning to clean up the mess, it continues to accumulate. The week we have been here, there has been no effort to set up the beach chairs etc because of the mess. According to the staff, guests are way down because of it. If you are interested in beach and beach activities, you are going to have to go elsewhere. Very sad because the staff is very nice. Rooms are clean and comfortable.

Accueil chaleureux et rapide facile .

L’horaire du départ

Our room at Oyster Bay Beach Resort was infested with ants at check-in. Management acknowledged the infestation in writing — their proposed fix was to spray chemicals in the room and have us keep staying in it. We left the same day. The manager verbally agreed we could leave with a refund, then later refused, offering only 50% because we "chose not to stay" in an infested room. We've spent days trying to resolve this through our travel agent and Expedia with no cooperation. Photos and email documentation of everything. If something goes wrong with your room here, don't expect the property to make it right.

The resort is clean and well maintained. The staff goes above and beyond to make your stay that much more enjoyable. Wanda at the pool kept us fed and hydrated. Pepper at the activities desk kept us entertained all week long. We ate in all 3 restaurants on site. We found the food far better on site then any restaurant we went to off site. I highly recommend eating at the resort restaurants. Definitely a place where i will go back to....

I specifically asked for a great ocean view (twice, once in the booking notes and once with a phone call), and I got a room with a tiny view. Twice I requested that we be moved and twice was told there were no other rooms. I find this very unlikely as it was not high season and there was nothing on the island that was full. I went to the concierge desk twice. Once to arrange a private sailboat charter and once to get information about the ferry to Pinel island. They were NO help either time. The room was rather shabby. There were little bugs in the kitchen. The tub was not properly installed so it flexed every time you got in it. The tub/shower faucet dripped all the time. There were drywall repairs that were incredibly amateur. So, while we loved the island and had a great time it was in spite of the resort. Finally, there was some sort of time share scam in process. The bellman was great and the little store the Veranda was great. Needless to say we will not go back to the resort.

What a beautiful resort! Atmospheres was magical! Always live music at the beautiful bar that looks out onto the turquoise beach with infinity pool. Jeremy is an incredibly helpful nice young man! He helped us throughout our stay - luggage up stairs - helpful information!

This is our first time to Sint Maarten and did no wrong by booking into Oyster Bay Beach Resort (little far to drive). It is great from the minute we arrive till last day. Staff wise you can't say much but great - always with a smile on their face and ready to assist you no matter what. Nightly and daily entertainment will keep you not to leave. Pool and beach are so beautiful. Food is tasty from the market that you can have a wonderful breakfast daily. Thanks to all staff at Oyster Bay.

Receptie was niet attent genoeg

Meer op de telefoon Facebook aan het kijken dan mij te helpen

Oysterbay is ALWAYS amazing but what made it even better was our waitress sasha -&' chef nathan they were truly AMAZING and they both are one of the many reasons i would always return to oyster bay very friendly and attentive they made sure everything was PERFECT for us. 10/10

Restaurant, Bar, store and maid service employees are very friendly and helpful. Pool is nice. Front desk and Reservation people are not very helpful or friendly. Rooms are just okay (need upgrades) and food quality in the restaurants is below average for the Island. While not the resorts fault dawn beach has a serious seaweed issue and the sulfur odor makes the Veranda and Beach unusable.

We travel to SXM twice per year to stay at OBBR / Coral Beach Club. Our family has owned timeshares since 2001. The island is lovely and accessible. It is affordable and modest compared to other islands in the region. OBBR is a fantastic resort on the Dutch side away from the busier areas. Great atmosphere, safe, secure. The rooms are clean and well appointed; though some rooms suffer years of wear and tear - could use new mattresses, new hardware, etc. The days at the Infiniti pool are awesome - good food and great service. The restaurant is always reliable though not spectacular - good pasta entrees and some nice specials throughout the week - excellent for quiet dinners after a long day of fun at beaches or on catamarans. We tend to spend our quiet evenings at The Veranda - great drinks from Gregory, as always. I look forward to his beautifully crafted cocktails on my trips. OBBR - keep that man serving up his cocktails - he's one of the best on the island. The Veranda store offers many essentials; we stop in frequently for pastries, drinks and snacks. The staff, Yubi, Yirara, and Chris treat us like family. As for Dawn Beach, OBBR manages the sargassum seaweed as well as any other beach on the island. Is the smell and mess unfortunate? - Absolutely, but it's a small price to pay in a Caribbean paradise - they work their tails off to clear it out - and you can be sure we tossed a few bucks to the machine operators - That's thankless work. They're making the very best out of a tough environmental problem - it is what it is for the entire region. Overall, we love OBBR and CBC. We'll continue to visit year after year. For the cruisers - try to get away from Phillipsburg (which is great), but there's so much more to this beautiful island!

Beautiful! Excellent resteraunts! Great activities. Love pool and view. Dawn Beach not attended; seawood. Do wish there was transport there. Room smaller than liked. Otherwise, i am going to return! Deb Robinson Excellent accomating staff

Small room Beach transport

We stayed overnight here the night before we boarded for our cruise. The room was beautifully appointed and food excellent. Several

Paid for beach front did not get it! Instead our room was facing the marina with the view of the parking lot and a generator running non stop. Had a leg injury prior to trip staff was unwilling to move our room so instead had to go up and down three flights of stairs multiple times with no elevator. No beach access at the resort, smelled terrible from the kelp. Advertised as a 5 star hotel, I would not even give it a 1 star. Staff was not accommodating nor friendly! Rooms were small and not updated at all, shower was not clean. Worst vacation ever! Will not return to St. Marten! Would not recommend this resort at all!

This resort hotel nearly makes full marks with some exceptions. A lovely location, having a car is a good idea as there is no place to walk to, so you must take a taxi, which is easily arranged. Excellent and friendly service from the restaurant staff where the food was consistently good and not overpriced. Shout out to the very personable golf cart porter, Jeremy, also. However, the desk staff was inconsistent - not sure of how to do usual hotel things (such as having sample menus on hand, giving a map of the resort or contacting another arriving guest) so sometimes helpful and sometimes frustratingly clueless. There is currently an influx of sargassum seaweed which is hardly the resort's fault, but makes swimming in the sea by the resort impossible. Bulldozers were out every day valiantly trying to clear it so the beach itself was useable for sunning. Not an ideal situation, but not unique in the Caribbean. The Infinity Pool and surrounding area was beautiful and pleasant. A real plus was that the rooms, although not luxurious, were fully stocked with a kitchenette, very comfortable beds and most important, absolutely spotless. And this is a quiet place at night too, unlike some other properties!

We had a wonderful, fun, relaxing vacation at Oyster Bay Resort. The drinks, food and waitstaff were excellent. A special shout out to Dave at the Infinity Bar by the pool, Dianne and Tanyeria at the Infinity restaurant. Grouper was excellent as well as the chicken Caesar salads. The restaurant was busy and these girls hustled and were friendly. For breakfast, the Verandah Bistro and Marketplace are the spot. Delicious breakfast sandwiches on French baguettes as well as pancakes, fruit, French toast. Everything was great. Our sweet servers Yari and Chris were attentive and friendly. The actual store has everything you need, drinks, alcohol, snacks, all reasonably priced. Plus, coffees and pastries to go. Yes, there was seaweed the first half of the week, but they made every effort to clear it. We rented a car and visited Orient Beach; we rented chairs and an umbrella for ten dollars at the orange restaurant. Great service and food. Beautiful swimming day and we went there twice. The other end of the beach is a nude beach, but it didn't affect us except for a few people walking by. Lastly, we booked a new tour with Eagle tours at the front desk. Sahara was most helpful and always pleasant!!! Promote her. We shopped and toured Philipsburg with a guide RT from Ama jewelry store. Very knowledgeable and beautiful store. Then snorkeling with Lassandro the captain and the excellent first mate Eddy. A wonderful experience. P.S. Jeremy was so friendly our first day at check in and helped with our bags. Also, The Big Fish restaurant close by is worth the trip and Mamas Pizza.

Very disappointed in our stay after our Windstar cruise. Hardly a greeting or a smile at Reception. Border line rude. A positive was the wonderful young man who helped with our bags. Our room was passingly clean. However, and not to be believed, was how the bottom of our feet looked after walking on the tile floor for a day or so. They were disgustingly dirty. We also had numerous knocks on the door, first for a new coffee maker, then a new telephone directory, then to wash the windows! Additionally, there was major confusion on if we needed to move rooms for a third night or not, no one knew what the other person said to us. The Veranda restaurant was very good though. We ate there all 3 nights & liked it very much. Service was excellent too. We would not stay at Oyster Bay again.

Mooi zwembad fijne kamer vriendelijk personeel schoon

Beetje afgelegen

Oyster Bay Beach Resort, what can I say? First let me say It is a very pretty resort on a great spot on the island and we usually look forward to returning. This trip, not so much. If honesty and integrity mean anything to you than I recommend an alternative resort. It matters to me and that's why we will never be back. I'll begin by saying we booked a week in the Lighthouse in a large 3-bedroom Villa, and it was suitable for the three of us as it had a large kitchen and three balconies even though it was usually too windy to use them. The Lighthouse is a collection of Villas owned by others but managed by the resort. This was a celebration of my Wife's and her sisters' birthdays and I wanted everything to be special. 1. The resort sent a shopping list of Items I could Pre-Stock the Villa with and it was very extensive so I filled it out and returned it as we usually do when traveling and on arrival at the resort after a long long day of travelling we were hoping to find a stocked kitchen with cold waters and food for relaxing...not the case. I asked the young man that helped get us to the room about it and he knew nothing about it. I asked at the desk and they said don't worry, much later that afternoon someone finally asked me about it and got the order to the store and of course on arrival the pack of cokes for my wife missing I went to the store on foot and asked and they said they were out but the refrigerator was fully stocked with them!. 2.Time share. When you check in you will be immediately shuffled to the Timeshare desk and be hounded to do the presentation, I didn't sign up for this at booking but felt guiled to do the 2hr presentation Knowing that I was saying no over and over they took forever to release us. 3. Can't call the reception, room phone doesn't work 4. Ants. not really sure if they are ants but the kitchen was crawling with them and I did point this out to the maid, and she must have sprayed because in a couple of days they were gone. 5. Evidently, they are short staffed and stressed as everyone is in a foul mood. Breakfast took hours because no cooks and our Friendly server 'Mr. Happy" was doing all he could do to help people. Also, After I realized I was being served large, bottled waters with food and being charged for it when everybody else got water from a pitcher for free? 5 Now the honesty and Integrity part. On the last evening at the raffle drawing, they drew my name for a free week stay in a studio room, very nice. when I read the certificate, it read that it had to be used by Oct 30th by me so I gave it back and thanked them telling her We couldn't come back by then. The lady that gave it to me said hold and went to talk to a superior who said I could give it to a family member for a small chang fee so I thanked her and took it. The morning, we checked out I confirmed this with her again, so we left. I gave this to my niece and called and checked availability and confirmed my guests that I gave it to and she said fine please email the filled-out certificate with the names and email back, I did. Days later and nothing from the resort and needing to buy airline tickets I called back and wanted a confirmation but was met by a very rude woman saying no, this won't do, it has to be me only. I explained the interaction the night of the drawing and she just implied I was not truthful and that it didn't happen. I called the General Manager Mr Perez to explain and couldn't be bothered so he had the same woman call me back. Simple courtesy would have gone a long way here, even a compromise but to not even discuss the issue with a repeat guest who just spent thousands at their resort? Please reach out if I can elaborate. St Martin has many many fine places that are beautiful and kind and I suggest you seek out one of those.

I had a pleasant stay at Oyster Bay Beach Resort. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and offer a comfortable time-share style experience, with nice views overlooking the pond. The resort overall is well maintained and housekeeping stood out for being consistently polite and friendly. The pool area is a highlight: calm, relaxing and a great place to unwind. The drinks were very good, and a special mention to Gregory at the bar, who was kind, helpful and contributed positively to the overall atmosphere. While the bar food was decent, some options felt a bit basic and blunt. The location is quiet and well suited for relaxation. During my stay, there was a noticeable amount of seaweed and wind, which made swimming from the beach, mission impossible (see the picture attached) . However, this is not the fault of the resort, as they clearly make an effort to clean the beach daily using large machines (although in my 4 days stay the didn’t manage to clean it) Another positive aspect was the overall crowd: this is not a party-type resort, but rather attracts guests looking to relax and unwind, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. If there is one area for a great improvement, it would be the front desk, which could feel a bit more welcoming, smiley and attentive. Additionally, while the stay was enjoyable, some may find that it does not fully align with the price point, depending on their priorities. Overall, a calm and well-kept resort with spacious rooms, a nice pool area and friendly service, at least in some of the key areas.

Infinity pool was very nice. Restaurants on property were good with reasonable prices. Quiet setting with great views.

The room was missing the oven mitts and there were dish towels. Pool chairs were difficult to get unless you were at the pool by 9:00am.

Location not to bad Food was good

Beach conditions were very bad They charged us an extra 20% over the amount we booked with you.they called it a service charge. This has never happened to us before using your booking site amd I tried to get refund but no luck What is your policy here

The rooms are clean and the view of the ocean from the balcony is lovely. The beach was covered in seaweed, which they cleaned each morning but it was in the water which combined with the tough water made swimming impossible . Happy hour each day was nice, but entertainment was non existent.

Loved the pool area and service. Food was really good at the bar. Some reviews say this property is dated but that is not the case. My room was clean and def not dated. Eden the bartender was so sweet, and the other lady and gentlemen I forget their names. The girls who checked me in at the front had great recommendations and were so kind. I liked this property a lot.

It’s a bit far from the main strip but that’s what rental cars are for. You have to time it right to avoid traffic though. I like the location bc you are midway between French and Dutch side which are two different vibes.

We enjoyed our stay but the concierge staff was not very friendly or helpful. The restaurants were very good though with good service.

The front desk staff, housekeeping, servers, bartenders and busboys were all so nice and accommodating and take the extra time to remember your name and who you are! The views were amazing, it was very peaceful, and most people you find staying here are repeat guests who come back every year.

The car rental guy was not helpful at all and quite rude. We stayed in a courtyard room, which we actually really enjoyed being close to all the action but if you want a quieter room, definitely steer clear of the courtyard.

Our travel agent booked us into Oyster Bay 4 days prior to boarding a Winship cruise. The room rate was not inexpensive so we were looking forward to a luxury resort, boy were we disappointed. Our room was so shabby, it looked like a roadside motel room. The bureau looked like it had been dragged out of a junk heap. The staff at the front desk both concierge and front desk were bordering on rude. Any questions we had for them were met with shoulder shrugs and absolutely no effort to attempt to find answers for us. I might add, they were entirely different to the guests who were owners. Needless to say, we will let our travel agent know and we certainly would never return.

We escaped the Canadian winter and spent two glorious weeks at OBBR this January. The weather was sunny, very windy, (trade winds the first week) with a few minutes of rain spattered throughout our stay. The pool and views are beautiful. Kenny at the pool deck was always ready with a smile, to arrange our chairs and umbrellas. We enjoyed the bars and restaurants (ate a few times at the Verandah and twice at Infiniti). Shout out to Cee Jay who provided lovely service our last night and to the bar staff at the pool (Wanda & David) for their attention & happy hour specials! We did not rent a car, but had no issues getting cab service (Nate the Great) when we went off-site. We are already planning our 2027 return!

From making the reservations with Cindy Clarke to Althea maintaining our room to Jahim and Joshua taking care of us on the beach, we could not have been happier. Ricardo Perez runs a great resort! David at the bar making great drinks with the biggest smile! Our trip home was in jeopardy with a threatening snow storm but the staff was very helpful extending our accommodations. Hotel is spotless and all the staff extremely professional and friendly. Looking forward to our next visit!

Visited the Oyster Bay Beach Resort in Dec 2025 for 7 days. Probably one of the best hotels I have stayed at. We were right on the ocean and had an amazing view. Housekeeping staff was top notch, the food at both hotel restaurants was marvelous and a wonderful variety of things to choose from. The gift shop kept us coming back for more gifts for friends and family back home and the lady that ran it, was so nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend getting a massage at the Spa there. We had such a great time at this hotel, can't wait to get back.

The hotel itself is quite secluded . We were there for a sister trip so we didn’t mind it so much! The amenities were very clean, our 2 bedroom apartment was spotless and lots of room for the 4 of us. The staff were incredibly efficient and extremely friendly! Karaoke night was so much fun! The pool was great ! With a great view of St.Barth ! There is a hot tub that’s very hot and in the cool evenings it was wonderful! Our time here was a relaxing vacation and only a 10 min taxi to the core of St.Philipsburg. The beach was beautiful to look at but not the blue and green calm bay like other spots !!!

Oyster Bay Beach Resort was the most amazing experience for my husband and me. From the planning stages to the arrival at the airport ( Booked Jet Blue), everything was so smooth. Once we got our luggage, the VIP livery was there waiting for us. Our driver Calvin was the best. He was friendly, knowledgable, and so timely when picking us up and dropping us off. We asked Calvin if he would be our driver for the week should we go off the resort. He agreed. Absolutely the best. At the check in desk At Oyster Bay Beach Resort (OBBR) the staff were so friendly and accommodating. The Unit we stayed in was in a central location (Building 4). You see Oyster Bay out the front of the unit and the ocean out the back. Awesome views. The OBBR is on the Dutch side of St. Maarten only a short distance from the French side. It happened to be Holiday Week the week we were there and the resort had so many event and activities going on. From aerobics at the pool, bingo mid-day, and hat, sweater, and unit door contests brought so much fun to the resort as well as meeting new people. The Infinity pool was so beautiful. We understand one of the top five pools in the Caribbean. It is famous for being built on a coral reef offering unobstructed views of St. Barths (which there was ferry service to get out to St. Barths from Philipsburg, Dutch side or from the town of Marigot on the French side The pool side and ocean front dining was so relaxing and food was excellent. There is a day spa on site, gift shop, fitness facility and a market where you could pick up items to use/cook with in your unit. Timeshare Ownership was available to hear about. However, we did not have time-share. The OBBR had such friendly staff and the activities staff certainly put all their efforts in making our week staff the best!!! We would definintely go back to this resort.

Wonderful resort and great deal for the cost. Right on the Ayer and has its own beach. Customer service was excellent. They booked us a classic French restaurant last minute in Christmas. The onsite bar and restaurants were high quality- good food but a little island time slow. Infinity pool and hot tub very nice. The only drawbacks - it’s a little dated but well maintained, it is at the far end of the island (rec a rental car for sure) so quiet and island is small enough, and there were some ants here and there (to be expected on an island). Overall, we enjoyed it very much and recommend.

Great experience overall. I was a little concerned about this resort based on one terrible review but I am pleased to say that we enjoyed staying here, had great service, and found it to be a fun, relaxing & friendly environment overall. Certainly the buildings are a little older but they are well maintained and cared for. We paid to upgrade our room and we were very happy with our one-bedroom apartment overlooking the water. We spent lots of time on the deck. The staff was friendly, especially in the more casual restaurant. The only disappointment was the Infinity Restaurant. Breakfast was fine, but our service was slow and subpar at dinner and the food was just ok. I would stick with the more casual restaurant or go elsewhere if you want a nice dinner. We loved the entertainment provided each night and it is a very ‘easy’ place to navigate.

The resort is great and safe and filled with activities BUT we purchased a studio several years ago based on what we saw in the mainsail building and were placed there each year we used our week only to find out this year that the developers, because that building has an elevator and is in demand, has labeled those studios as " mega - studios" and our contract would require an additional sum of money to guarantee an exact week and an even greater amount of money to have what we thought we already had-- flexible week! We passed but a bad taste has been established for sure! The studio we had is sooooo small- if you have the coffee pot on the burners you cannot make breakfast-- it is stored on top of the fridge as is the toaster. You cannot have a lid to the frying pan per management so the advertised kitchen facilities are not meant to be used. There is no sofa in the small studios so spend your week sitting on a bed. We also had difficulty getting a pot holder and a kitchen towel so maybe take one from a thrift shop and just leave it there when you visit. We do love the remoteness of the resort-- you will relax and the book exchange is good. Tv and wifi great also-- just don't like the bait and switch attitude.

Ruim opgezet, nette ruime kamer! Iedere dag schone handdoeken en badlakens

We have been going here for about three years. We absolutely love staying here. They have everything to offer. Nice beach for snorkeling, Captain Alan for excursions, and evening events to have fun and new people.

Visited the Veranda and 12/10. Gregory with the tastiest bevs, Mimi takes a quality photo and YaYa has the best guest services. And absolute must!

We checked in for one night before our week began at the timeshare portion and were put in the garden area which has steps in order to access the units. I have an issue with breathing and they were fully aware of this situation from last year. We had an issue last year with Ricardo Perez, the general manager, who got mad when we would not purchase a unit in the elevator building (only one building has elevators). The entire resort is all steps, but some locations are easier than others with less steps. After that week, we were placed in the gardens and I was forced to climb 14 steps each and every time we left and returned. When we spoke to Marion at Oyster Bay, she said she could not change our location as it came from the top (ricardo perez). This year it carried over and we were placed in the gardens once again. My partner fell on the steps trying to get to our unit. Once that happened, we left and did not spend our vacation week at Oyster. They are never fully booked and we were told that they could not do anything for us. My recommendation to anyone who is older and cannot do steps or a lot of walking is don't go to Oyster Bay. The accomodations are mediocre at best. Not exactly the cleanest of the timeshares on the island. We will never return to that timeshare as they appear to be very vindictive and do not take their timeshare owners into consideration.

I am a local on the island attending the University of St. Maarten, and visiting one of the hotels was part of our assignment. Visiting this hotel was a great experience. The front desk was very kind and welcomed us with a huge smile. That is something that we don't see all the time as residents. Their brunch was AMAZING! From our waiters to the servers at the buffet area, they added extra points to the already amazing food. Our tour guides (from the resort itself and Coral Beach Club) were very nice and informative. We saw the Moonsail room, and it was SPECTACULAR! I must confess that I never thought about staying here before. However, after spending a few hours there, I shall be returning with my family whenever there is a holiday or when we are on vacation. Btw, I am planning on watching an NFL game at the bar very soon. I would highly recommend coming here!

Best resort hotel in St.Maarten ; Excellent view ; excellent privacy ; private beech ; private pool ; live music throughout evening; lively atmosphere; you choose want privacy or get together n enjoy aura vibrant atmosphere; Spacious room nice balcony ; home like stay ;

We have a wonderful weekend for my Birthday. The room, wow the room; amazing views, a private jacuzzy & really cozy room with everything you'll need. The people is really welcoming and friendly, from the lady on the reception desk, the bellboy and the waitress. Please Do not miss the Sunday Brunch!! DELICIOUS

The good: - Great infinity pool and jacuzzi, open 24 hours - Some employees were great The bad: - It is not a resort, but just a hotel. They say is 5 stars, but is a 3-4 stars at best - Studios are small and very outdated, with the cheapest selection from the local Home Depot - Inconsistent service. The ladies at reservations and the staff at front desk were nasty and raised their voices very easily - Location is far away, with very little to do around. Main attractions are 30 min away - Nearby beach is a disaster, with dark waters and dirty sand, if any - Smelly marina - Resort charges fees for everything. Beware! - Timeshare program is now a disaster, only intended to squeeze owners. DO NOT BUY. And if you are still interested, owners offer online their membership for free - Customer service is a disaster. They simply ignore you I am a timeshare owner since 2000, but did not visit the hotel for the last 5 years. I went there with friends on ultra low season (October), with the resort almost empty. I requested a studio with front ocean views in three different occasions to the ladies at reservations. They were nasty and raised their voices repeating “is upon availability!” (which I fully know). Upon arrival I did not get the requested view, with nobody explaining why. When I complained, the front desk man was also nasty, raised his voice and was very rude. Still did not get it. Instead, they gave us rooms with a side view to the smelly beach. I know they had renovated rooms available with the views, but they give the worst rooms to owners. When I purchased the timeshare program in 2000, it was great. Now is horrible - You get a flexible week (you can use any week subject to availability). Now they have very little availability - If you can not use the week, you could “save” it for 2 years. Now the saving has been reduced to just one year - You could upgrade the studio to a one or two bedrooms by paying a treasonable fee of $250 or $350. Now they increased the upgrade fees 3 times to almost $900 - Monthly maintenance was reasonable. Now it represents the same annual cost of paying a better hotel for a week. Where is the current benefit? - Upon arrival, they still charge you for utilities (up to $25/day) and for taxes ($50). I went with friends and they also charged them $75, even being with me AVOID THE HOTEL AND THE TIMESHARE!

Had an amazing view overlooking the water. The staff was great and friendly, food at both restaurants we tried was very good. One of our favorite places we have ever stayed.

A truly memorable stay. The room was spacious, clean, and offered a breathtaking view of the ocean—perfect for morning coffee and evening reflections. The resort staff were friendly and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was inviting. We ate at the Veranda which I preferred better than Infinity the staff was friendlier especially JaJa who worked breakfast & lunch and then their was Kenny the sweetest boy who always brought you cold water and a cold washcloth when you arrived and by the pool every day. There also was a variety of activities to keep the guest occupied. We would definitely recommend this resort if you want to just relax and be away from it all. The only downside was the debris that washed up on the beach, it would be nice if they served lunch and drinks poolside, the bar was so close and internet was terrible.

Friendly staff

The infinity pool is nice.

No ocean view didn't go to the pool

Staff,ocean view rooms and the infinity pool. Overall everything was great

Female staff was extremely rude and condescending and would stare especially at my wife in a manner to suggest disgust.

We like Oyster Bay. It is quiet enough to enjoy the natural surroundings and close enough to Philipsburg and French Orient Beach to enjoy the more frenetic activity. Food is OK but the staff is very friendly. We suggest taking a car so you can eat out. Definitely will stay there again.

Nice hotel

You absolutely must go to the Veranda Bar EVERY DAY when you are here, even if it’s only to say hello to Greg, who is absolutely the best bartender in the universe! His drinks demonstrate artistry, and his personality and demeanor are second-to-none. The best way to describe our experience is to tell you that he made our vacation something to remember. Just a little story that demonstrates exactly who he is. Our house burned to the ground earlier in the year. Greg’s cheerfulness, wisdom, and compassion single-handedly allowed us to heal and taught us to look forward instead of backward. That is no small feat. PS-Happy Hour is from 4-6 daily!

The staff was great and the food was delicious!!

The staff was amazing, Dalia in the restaurant was so friendly, and can make the best lattes! This property is a hidden gem, with breathtaking views of the ocean, and mountains. This stay was a much needed getaway, and I can’t wait to return.

Friendly staff

Everything was very nice. The free breakfast was very limited- contintental breakfast. The hotel shuttle was a local taxi & cost $35. We needed an accommodation for our big anniv. celebration but nobody seemed to help us nor provide for us, which was a bottle of cider instead of alcohol. That was supposed to be gà

The staff was excellent very attentive to your neefs

The infinity restaurant food was bland and they were not friendly. The veranda restaurant food was great and staff was super friendly.

The staff and the restaurant always professional meeting with a greeting ever day impeccable personal willing to do more and help with all request . Every thing was great the store great the spa with the owner and her staff ..

Did not go to the beach because no baggage form airline arrive but still I had a great time taxie service superior .

The property was nice and clean. Unfortunately the front desk staff failed to inform us that the room we booked 6 months prior to our visit was” Sold out”. When we arrived we were told we got a “ complimentary upgrade” which wasn’t in fact an upgrade. We receive a one bedroom and studio connected room rather than the courtyard loft. The studio room started leaking from the ceiling and the floors were soaked. The staff popped the water bubble on the ceiling and put down towels to keep the floor dry. We also were locked out of our room during the tropical storm and we weren’t given a time estimate on when it would be fixed. We were not compensated for any of our convenience and the front desk staff didn’t seem to have any urgency with our concerns. The staff in the veranda bistro were so nice, friendly courteous and made the unpleasant stay more Pleasant. The house attendants were great, the food was amazing drinks were amazing overall the stay was ok but I would not return to this resort.

Another wonderful week in paradise! The resort is beautiful, the ocean views outstanding. Clean, attractive and well appointed units. Gorgeous, inviting infinity pool with lounge chairs and beach umbrellas - great place for Happy Hour! It’s true the sargassum has taken away the appeal of the once beautiful Dawn Beach. We spent most of our time at the pool as a result. The Activities desk offers a shuttle to beaches unaffected by the sargassum. Plenty of delicious offerings at the Infinity Restaurant, Infinity Bar and the Veranda. Live music every night - not to worry- over by 9pm. First timers - take a tour of the island. Shout out and thank you to staff who made our stay so much more special - David at the Infinity Bar, Sasha our Lobster Night server, Nivea and Philip at the Front Desk, Denzel for adjusting our door lock, Karrick for moving our luggage several times, Yolanda and everyone at the Activities Desk, Venus and Anne and especially to my Lucky Charm (whose name I thought I would never forget, but I have)...the lovely, young woman (standing in for her friend) who served the wine and cheese at the pool and also sang on Thursday, July 31 and brought me good luck.

It was so relaxed and beautiful. The views from the lighthouse were spectacular

The stay was AMAZONG! This place is above and beyond. We had a minor hiccup with a manger but otherwise. 5 stars. Would definitely go back

The property was ok breakfast was good but no housekeeping staff visited my room from my check in to my check out same toilets and washcloths for 3 days

First of all reviews are subjective! In my opinion….. Overall the resort is ok all around…. Not the worst place I’ve ever stayed and not the best! location is away from EVERYTHING (20Mins from anything in STM is FAR). The staff is mostly black women with zero personality and I’m black! That alone will make me never go there again!

Our stay was simply a delight. The rooms were spacious and clean. The bed was especially comfy. The balcony was right above the water with an amazing view. The Veranda restaurant was the prefect spot for breakfast… the croissants were delicious. The staff at the Veranda were pleasant and helpful. The resort was well kept, although some parts by the pool were well worn.

Wow to a very beautiful Vacation Experience! The Oyster Bay Resort was extremely beautiful with wonderful amenities and lovely places to relax! Highly recommended for short getaways and longer! The people and places we visited are very friendly and we are planning a return trip to lovely Saint Martin…

My family of 5 had a great time at OBBR (our kids are adults, 19, 23 and 24). We arrived on 7/31/25 and departed on 8/5/25. This resort is not for everyone, so let me be clear: #1. If you are looking for a true beach resort, OBBR is not for you. There is a small beach, but it's not useable. The beach is absolutely loaded with the sargassum that is threatening the rest of the Caribbean. I don't even think we would have utilized the beach if it had been clear of seaweed. It's not the turquois water you envision when you think of the Caribbean. #2. If you are looking for waitstaff to come take your drink order as you lounge by the pool, this place is not for you. If you want something from the bar, you have to get it. The bar is a few steps from the pool. #3. If you are looking to be able to walk out of the resort and find a bunch of shops and restaurants, OBBR is not for you. This resort is very secluded. It is on the opposite end of the island from the airport. You will need a car to get anywhere. There are two restaurants at the resort, but that gets tiring after a while. We ate at Infinity for lunch the first day. Great calamari. Everything else was average. We at dinner at the Veranda Bistro twice. We liked that better. Sometimes the smell of the decaying seaweed is a bit overwhelming there. We didn't notice it the first night, but the second night we did. Fun Fact: You can see Sylvester Stallone's house on the hill from the Veranda Bistro. We didn't care about any of the above. The resort is bunch of buildings, but the two rooms they gave us were in the reception building, directly over the bar - 1114 and 1115. The rooms were decorated very pretty and were quite spacious. There was a king bed on the first floor as well as the kitchenette (dishes, glasses, bowls, silverware, toaster, microwave, blender, coffee maker, coffee supplies, sponge, detergent, dish towel) and the bathroom. There was a spiral staircase that went to a loft that had two twin beds. Our view from the balcony was the pool and the ocean. It was beautiful. And as for being over the bar and entertainment area...it ended at 9pm every day so it was never an issue. The employees were super nice. The resort is clean. The entertainment is very good. In fact, almost every day they had free alcohol for two hours (wine and cheese on one evening, rum punch another day, and open bar another evening). They have happy hour at the bar as well with decent drink deals. At the Veranda Market on premises, you can get alcohol and snacks and other food. Buying your booze here is definitely a better value that ordering drinks at the bar. There is a laundry for guests, and we used it. I know they have shuttles to various beaches, such as Grand Case, but we never utilized this as we had a car. An easy 10-minute drive away is Great Bay Beach. Park at Bobby's Marina for $2 an hour. This beach is beautiful and large. It is lined with shops and restaurants. The parallel street behind that has more shops, especially jewelry, alcohol and tobacco. The parallel street behind that is where the locals shop. DO NOT GO TO THIS BEACH ON CRUISE ARRIVAL DAYS (generally Monday -Thursday, but you can check the schedule online). The people that own the restaurants will try to get you to rent their chairs and umbrellas. They are not pushy. They usually have two rates: one with an alcohol package and one without. Honestly, I don't know why they bother to open any restaurants and shops on non-cruise ship days. There were literally less than 30 people on the beach the entire day. We actually went back to this beach two days later because we enjoyed it so much. Again, less than 30 people on the entire beach. The water is turquois and gentle, and we found a ton of beautiful shells. Renting chairs and umbrellas is highly suggested. An easy 8-minute drive away from OBBR is Parrot Ville Parrot Sanctuary. This place is a must do, whether you are a kid or an adult. The birds are gorgeous. They eat out of a cup on a stick that you hold, and the birds also land on your shoulders and your head as well. Toppers Rhum Distillery was a 30-minute drive, but it was a great tour. You need advance reservations. Do not eat in the restaurant there. The food is not good, and the service is worse. I think we waited an hour for our food and there was nobody else in the restaurant. We visited Maho beach that day since we were over on that end of the island anyway. You go there because it's a tourist trap, but it's not really a nice beach. I couldn't wait to leave. Besides eating at Great Bay Beach at The Blue Bitch (food was so-so) and Big Wood (great jerk chicken and curry chicken) and The Greenhouse (very good), the other off-premises restaurant close to the resort that we really enjoyed was l'Oasis, which was just over the French border. Amazing. We also ordered pizza in from Mama's. It was pretty good. We are from southern New York, so really no pizza is actually good outside of the tri-state area. We booked through JetBlue vacations, so I believe that we were flagged so that we weren't bothered about a timeshare pitch. If you book on your own, I don't know how that works. If you are looking for a low-key resort where you can really relax and never fight for a lounge chair by the beautiful infinity pool, this is your resort. If there was ONE complaint, it would be about the water temperature. There are two: hot and scalding. Nobody wants that after getting burned in the sun.

Needs more food options, and updates to the property.

I will share our experiences with everyone

The resort was very nice and the staff was awesome.

I like the pool, the staff was good. Location is a bit far but for me it's was very good. If you want some peace, this place is amazing. From Curacao 🇨🇼

Parking not much parking and very tight spaces

Check in was easy , there was a mistake with our booking , but thanks to the front desk the problem was solve. The room was clean , the breakfast was excellent , had a few rum punches which to up the day. . It was a Quiet. And just what we wanted.. The staff was very helpful.

It’s a very nice quiet resort there’s not much to do there’s not much transportation and it’s 20 minutes from the busier city life for restaurants and so forth. Also there is no beach there that you can go in

Property needs a few upgrades but beautiful

Not located in the heart of the party scene but beautiful location, friendly staff, & great food

Having traveled and stayed at so many beachside locations across the world from Roatan to Turks, my resort experience was so spectacular we’re already planning our return next year. Onsite premises were immaculate & provided all the amenities one could ask for-market, spa, gym & car rental. The restaurant, cafe and bar all have premium food choices with breath taking ocean views. Basking in the sun along side the Infiniti was my absolute favorite. The rooms are well appointed with sweeping views of the ocean and hillsides. The beds and pillows were so comfortable! The staff in all locations were pleasant and predicted your every need. Best of all it’s proximity to everything allowed us to day trip other places and choose to rent a car or take a taxi. Absolutely my favorite place to stay.

Great quiet location and still close to everything else. I will be back

Beautiful area on St Maarten. Peaceful, serene, quiet, gorgeous views of the ocean, St Barts, and the mountains of the island

Been going to this property for a very long time only thing I don’t like is the checkin procedure it take to long even to extend a next night!
