Oyster Bay Beach Resort

We had the best week. EVERONE was wonderful but particularly Gregory and Yanira and Shanna (?) at the Verandah bistro and bar... Then Wanda at the Infinity pool bar.... And Precious, our housekeeper. The food at the Verandah was always so good.... And dinner at the Infinity was delicious. Our view from the studio room was fabulous. Would definitely return!!

Let’s be very real. This place is a hard pass. The location is not ideal. It’s very far from the airport. You almost need a car to enjoy the island, otherwise, It’s too far from where most restaurants are located. There is nothing nearby so you will be forced to eat the same two places that does not cycle their menu. During the months of July the “beach side” is covered in seaweed so you won’t be able to get in like the other beaches. The smell gets pretty intense. The food is pretty expensive. The rooms are dated but the beds are comfy. The crowd is older and the cleanliness is questionable. I wouldn’t recommend for the 20-30 crowd. I won’t say it’s family friendly either. Other than the smaller pool, there isn’t anything else to do. The service is good but there is a lot of other good places.

I just checked out of this place. I was so disappointed. The ratings and reviews is what made me choose this spot. Please do not waste your time or money. Upon check in I was hit with a $50 resort fee and $12 a day utility charge. The unit I was in had ants and had not been cleaned. There was still coffee in the coffee maker, beer in the fridge, feces on the toilet and hair in the tub. There were stains on the bedding and the furniture. We had ants crawling up the walls and on the counter tops. My friend stayed in a unit across the hall from me and she had roaches. The beach at the resort is nasty and you can't get in the water. No one does. The pool is not clear and has a yellow layer on the ground and steps. The food is expensive and not worth it. When the AC works it blows cold. All the appliances in the unit are old, unkept and need to be replaced. The gym was full of old outdated machines and it was dirty as well. The pictures are misleading. It is also located in a very bad area of the island and not near anything making it impossible to do any activities without a car. I reported all the issues and the only thing addressed was the AC issue. Everything else I received lip service for and no change. I am thankful we had a rental car. You NEED one to enjoy the island and all it has to offer. The beds are comfortable and the parking is free. The ATM is out of order along with most things there. If you are looking for a place to lay your head this is equivalent to a motel 6. Do not expect resort treatment or amenities. This place is falling apart and quick.
