Reviewers frequently note the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, along with charming Caribbean-style decor that makes you feel like you’re truly on vacation. Many guests appreciate having a full kitchen, which allows for the occasional home-cooked meal or romantic breakfast with a view.
Amenities That Enhance the Island Experience
From the stunning infinity pool overlooking the ocean to the on-site spa and fitness center, the amenities at Oyster Bay Beach Resort are designed with relaxation and convenience in mind. The infinity pool, in particular, receives rave reviews. It’s a popular place to unwind with a tropical drink and watch the sailboats drift by.
Other noteworthy amenities include:
- A private beach with complimentary loungers
- Oceanfront hot tub
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the property
- An on-site grocery store for quick essentials
Guests often mention that they feel safe and well-cared-for during their stay, with staff that go out of their way to offer assistance.
Dining and Local Flavor
While the resort features the Infinity Restaurant and Lounge, known for its fresh seafood and Caribbean-inspired cuisine, many visitors love exploring the nearby restaurants of Oyster Pond and Philipsburg. Local favorites serve up French, Dutch, and Creole dishes, giving you a rich taste of the island’s diverse culture.
Happy hour at the resort bar is a daily highlight, often with live music or island-inspired cocktails that give off serious vacation vibes. Whether you want to eat on-site or head into town for a five-star meal, the staff are full of helpful suggestions.
The Best of Both Worlds: Exploring Dual St. Martin
Since Oyster Bay sits so close to the border, guests have a super easy opportunity to experience the island’s dual personality. On the Dutch side, St. Maarten, you get vibrant casinos and the bustling duty-free shops of Philipsburg. A short drive across the border, however, transports you to the French side, Saint-Martin, known for its European chic and incredible gastronomy.
Take a trip to Grand Case, widely considered the “Gourmet Capital of the Caribbean,” for world-class dining that blends French technique with fresh island ingredients. Or head to the French capital, Marigot, for a quieter pace, charming outdoor markets, and delicious, authentic French bakeries. Having this cultural richness right next door truly doubles your vacation value.
Activities for Every Kind of Traveler
If lounging on the beach isn’t enough, Oyster Bay Beach Resort is also a great launch pad for exploring the rest of the island. Popular activities include:
- Snorkeling trips
- Sailing excursions
- Hiking trails around Pic Paradis
- Day trips to nearby islands like St. Barts or Anguilla
For those truly looking to explore, the resort’s location makes major excursions incredibly accessible. We’re talking about hopping on a catamaran for a sail over to the neighboring island of Anguilla, known for its pristine, untouched beaches like Shoal Bay. Or maybe you’re feeling adventurous? You can arrange a thrilling zip-lining experience over the lush canopy at Loterie Farm, a private nature reserve nestled on the slopes of Pic Paradis.
If you prefer underwater exploration, the waters near the resort are fantastic for snorkeling, offering sightings of colorful coral and tropical fish right off the coast. These tours are easily booked through the resort concierge, ensuring a smooth and stress-free day out for the whole crew.
