I asked this question several months ago and received very helpful information. We were not able to follow through at the time because of, well, things happen. We must now make a decision as we have already purchased our plane tickets for October and are locked in.

We normally did an Interval exchange to OBBR. We liked the low key atmosphere and remote location. We can do that again this time but from what we read online, it seems OBBR is about all that has reopened at Oyster Bay. It would be good for us to get out and experience another part of the island. We are locked in to the choices Interval makes available so please share your opinions with us. The beach and pool at the resort are not important to us as we will be spending our days at Orient. Which would you choose?

  • Royal Islander Club La Plage
  • Divi Little Bay Beach Resort
  • La Vista Beach Resort
  • La Vista Resort
  • Sonesta Great Bay Beach Resort
  • The Villas at Simpson Bay Resort
  • Simpson Bay Resort
  • Sapphire Beach Club Resort
  • Royal Palm Beach Resort


This is our first trip post Irma so we are excited to return. We live in upstate SC and would drive 2 hours to Charlotte to fly nonstop. AA has priced us out of that option, so we will be driving 10 hours to Ft. Lauderdale and flying Jet Blue for over $1,000 less money. We hate the long drive, but $1,000 is a lot of money---for us anyway.

The folk on this site are the best. Thanks for your help.

Edited: After further research and input, I have crossed out some options that are not available.
