Oyster Bay Beach Resort, nestled among the lush green palms on the island of Sint Maarten, is one of the most private and secluded hideaways in the Caribbean. We offer 84 suites, varying from studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom suites. http://www.caribbeanmag.com/search/hotels/St_Maarten/oysterbaybeachresort/hotel/1454/30/ en-us Copyright 1998 e-TravelMedia.com/CaribbeanMag.com Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:08:37 EST Perched on a palm-dotted promontory and surrounded by Dawn Beach and Oyster Pond is St. Maarten's most secluded distinctive hideaway — Oyster Bay Beach Resort. Like St. Maarten — a beautiful island that embraces its dual Dutch and French ancestry with grace — Oyster Bay truly offers the best of both worlds. A step back in time to unspoiled Caribbean beauty, with a nod to modern amenities that pamper your desires. The chance to unwind in complete privacy or celebrate the getaway you deserve with friends and family, old and new. The opportunity to appreciate nature's gifts in private alcoves or relish a host of memorable activities and exhilarating excursions. From the moment you arrive through Oyster Bay's private secured entry and gatehouse, you will feel your cares slip away as you immerse yourself in an unforgettable experience. Nestled among the coves and curves of the pristine, mile-long Dawn Beach, the newly renovated and expanded Resort occupies one of the most beautiful areas on the eastern shore of the island. Beckoned by the Resort's exotic arches, natural stone towers and romantic balconies, you are instantly transported to the days of old-world Caribbean. As waves break upon the peninsula's rocky shores, you find yourself surrounded by water, the gentle bobbing of boats in the Oyster Pond marina complementing the vitality of the turquoise seas. Because of the property's unique design, most of the 178 units — from studios and 1-bedroom units to 2-bedroom hideaways and elegant oceanfront suites — sit directly above the ocean, with the rest overlooking the peaceful marina and tropical gardens. You will feel miles away from reality as you sip a mai tai on your private balcony, while watching the colorful fish swim the coral reef just below you.
