Beach Hotels & Resorts in Oyster Pond from NZ$290

"Property was understaffed, poor "

"I did not have time nor the zeal to visit the beach nor the pool and didn't want to. There is some silly rule that everyone must make a $10 downpayment when a cab is called from the front desk and its returned when the can gets to the hotel - unfortunately, the night security guard couldnt provide me with change as i gave him a $20 and after waiting too long for the cab, he refused to return the money. i had to snatch it back from him to get back my cash and in return i was presented with a resounding barrage of expletives. Very distasteful and i really didn't want to stay there. the rooms are large but very very dated and half the stuff in the room don't work - blown bulbs and broken dusty, stained jaccuzzi. Its not a well-maintained property with unfriendly staff. "

"Happy to leave a positive review of this property. Whilst it has clearly been around for some time. A decent attempt at upgrades is evident especially in the rather spacious rooms. Many new appliances were evident which made those not replaced stick out even more. No issues with water pressure or temperature. There were no issues with internet or TV and the air conditioning worked perfectly. There is grill opposite called Lees and 5 minutes walk towards the main road is a large supermarket and a fast food spot. Traffic noise isn't an issue but if planes bother you their sounds end usualy by 7pm. There are 2 elevators but given the aged look of the "out of order" sign on one of them.... well."

"The resort was beautiful! The rooms were spacious and well equipped. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only downside was the seaweed at the beach. "

"Staff is very rude a the property "

"Amazing hotel"

"Cheapest big hotel available in St Marten but a bit dark and depressing. Staff seemed very different and less well trained than in a normal Hilton. Only one small restaurant and bar with limited choice. "

"Good place to stay "

"Overall the property is great. We booked two story villas that are higher up the hill and have in room laundry. Everything was great but the French side of the island kept losing water. These units do not have tanks so it was unfortunate and after 3 days they were ablt to move us to another unit with water storage so we had water for the rest of the stay even though the island water remained unreliable. Communication during this was very good. Delphine was very supportive. Aside from the water issues, both rooms were very clean and well maintained with full kitchens and dohes/glassware etc. Both rooms had great views fo the bay Hotel has a restaurant available for lunch and breakfast, it was great. They also have a market, a barkery and a couple restaurants a short walk away. Only other thing to be careful with is the mattresses. Our first room 407 had a great mattress, but the second room (301) was a rather firm, I know some like that. I would recommend and we will try and return on our next trip to Sint Maarten "
