July Apartments
Great place to rest your head before travel. However if you have a room adjacent to the hallway like I did, there might be some light peering thru the window. Some blackout curtains there would be ideal.

Oyster Bay Beach Resort
The hotel is isolated with 2 restaurant options, both great. Pool is beautiful, beach unfortunately full off seaweed and unusable to no fault of the resorts. Car is a must if you want to see the island. Overall we were very happy with resort and would return.
