Top Guana Bay Beach Hotel Reviews

Oyster Bay Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"the property is secluded, very clean and the staff so helpful and kind. Very beautiful people all around. The hotel room very clean, it was not what I was expecting as far as a hotel room, it was an apartment. Bathroom with double sink, so you have space for that significant other. A nice king size bed waking up to a view, a wrap around balcony from the bedroom to the living room. Kitchen and dinning room to to fill all your personal needs. A home away from home, you feel you belong here, you even have a dishwasher and laundry machine. What else do you need? The grounds have a beautiful infinity pool, laundry mat, gift shop, a market store on the property, spa and gym. Two great restaurants. The only down part was the beach with the frequent storms have been washing up some seaweed waste covering the beach but its just a phase mother nature. There is so many places to go and do. Or you can stay at the resort and be pampered. The staff really go out of their way to take care of their guests. I will miss my favorite Bartender Jeffery and his colorful tasty cocktails. Thank you."

10/10 Excellent

"I’ve stayed at multiple residences (vacation rental) in multiple countries over the years. By far this was the best experience with a host I’ve had. Chris was very responsive, professional, and accommodating. Communication was beyond expectation.The house was immaculate and tastefully decorated. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Everything you need was available and there is an extra refrigerator/freezer which is great for a large group.The location was private and secure. The beach was easily accessible but if you’re looking for swimming in the sea this area was too rough for us. Listening to the waves crashing was heavenly. We were not able to get in the water, but there are beautiful calm beaches close by. Having the salt air while swimming in the pool and watching the gorgeous sunrise from the patio was perfect. This place and the host are highly recommended!"

Oceanfront 2 Bedroom Villa in Guana Bay Sint Maarten; Ocnfrt Deck

8/10 Good

"The property is located right on the water! It is Atlantic side, so the water is very rough. The beach pictured was absolutely covered in seaweed. It smelled awful. We did not spend time at the beach within walking distance. The property was difficult to find. The GPS did not take us to the right location. Roads are not clearly marked, and the property is not clearly marked. We knew we found the property when the door code worked. The linens were provided (even beach towels). The road up to the property is has some pot holes, we should have requested a taller rental car. There were ants inside in the living room and kitchen, but they weren’t biting ants. The pool outside is beautiful and clean, we swam there daily in the evenings. The local island dogs would come visit for attention (watch your shoes and glasses)! Otherwise it was perfectly adequate and we would stay there again."

"Everything on this property was fantastic!!! Chris was an amazing host and was so responsive and helpful! We had the best time in the pool and playing games listening to the ocean breeze! Couldn’t have asked for a better place! Thoroughly enjoyed our trip!"

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the property. The host, Chris, was gracious and kind. He gave us an orientation that made a difference for the rest of our vacation. He has prepared a book of points of interest including restaurants, day trips and activities, beaches and much more. All of the information had QR codes that mapped the venues for even more convenience. Cassandra was there to keep the home clean and was also helpful with her knowledge of the island. I would HIGHLY recommend this home to anyone."
