One of the few (only?) good things about the COVID lockdown during our trip in 07/2021 was that while Nova was closed when we were there Oil Nut Bay was substituting access to the Beach Club for no charge. The beach, pool, and restaurant were phenomenal. The cabanas had the most comfortable beds we had on the trip. Staff was friendly and helpful. The ride to the resort from Nova (during the late day) had some spectacular views.

It is an expensive splurge to pay for a day pass but looking back at how much we enjoyed the beach club it was certainly a great experience and might well be worth the price.
