The Oyster Bay Beach Resort.

The Hotel Tracker team found a compelling rate at one of St Maarten’s most beloved hotels: the Oyster Bay Beach Resort is pricing rooms at $261 per night for a March 16 through March 20 stay, a four-night window that lands squarely in the heart of spring travel season in St. Maarten. That’s what we found on Google Hotels.

Why This Matters
March is one of the most in-demand months on the island, with steady trade winds, warm water temperatures, and consistent beach weather before late-spring crowds intensify. Rates at waterfront resorts during this stretch typically sit well above this range, making a sub-$270 nightly rate a meaningful find for a full-service oceanfront property.

The Hotel
Oyster Bay Beach Resort is an ocean-view hotel at Oyster Pond, with rooms facing the Atlantic with access to Dawn Beach. The property includes a large beachfront pool area, a full spa, fitness center, and on-site dining, with suites offering balconies and kitchenettes suited for longer stays. The setting feels removed from the island’s busier strips while still remaining a short drive from Philipsburg and the French side.

Who This Is For
This rate works particularly well for travelers looking for a relaxed beachfront base with resort amenities during peak season, without committing to ultra-luxury pricing or all-inclusive restrictions. It’s a good fit for couples or repeat visitors who value beach access and space over nightlife-heavy locations.

The Bottom Line
At $261 per night for March 16–20, Oyster Bay Beach Resort delivers a rare peak-season beachfront value in St. Maarten. For travelers targeting spring dates with strong weather and full resort amenities, this is a price point worth locking in while it’s still available.
