Part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, St. Thomas boasts gorgeous beaches and equally gorgeous waters. While many tourists, particularly those arriving by cruise ship, choose beachside mega-resorts for their island stays, some of the best, most intimate accommodations can be found in tiny, family-run boutique hotels tucked away in the hills. These spots may seem…
When Oyster.com launched in June 2009, our young site covered only (albeit extensively) 250 hotels in a limited set of destinations. But today, we are proud to announce that Oyster has reviewed 10,000 hotels — across 76 countries in six continents. That’s a lot, especially when you consider that our investigators visit and photograph each…
“Spring break” means very different things to different people. For all, it’s a chance to get away from daily obligations and do what makes them happy. For some, that means long, quiet walks in the beach or hikes along rugged mountains, while to others it translates to booze-fueled beach parties or climbing about on complex…
The City of Love is well-known for its walkability. The ability to stroll with ease through green parks, over historic bridges, and past Gothic architecture (and maybe into a cafe for a croissant or two) is a major perk. But Paris is also a sprawling metropolis, and it may be tempting to stay on the…

We know that no one likes a bragger, but we think there is such thing as not bragging enough — and maybe we’re guilty of it. Because, after all, if we don’t brag about all the new hotels and resorts we’re adding to the site every single day, how will you know about them? Well,…
Well, one thing is pretty clear — everyone is ready to escape this snowy weather. We did some research to find out which of Oyster’s thousands upon thousands of hotels were the most popular in the last thirty days, and — perhaps as no surprise to anyone — they’re ALL located in sunny destinations. In…
The third largest city in Morocco, Marrakech is a popular tourist destination for bargaining with vendors in the lively souks (markets), watching snake charmers, and exploring the many lavish palaces throughout the fortified city. Whether travelers opt to stay in one of the unique riads (guesthouses with internal courtyards) or a large hotel, there are…
You can generally expect to pay more for a grab-and-go pastry or snack at a hotel than at your average coffee shop. But when the bill for a bagel clocks in at $1,000, even we are shocked — and we’ve seen some pretty pricey hotel eats. But then again, this is not your average bagel.…
