Hotel minibars have a bit of a naughty reputation. After all, they tempt and tease world-weary travelers with salty-sweet goodness at all hours of the day, and then come with a double-digit price tag to boot! But sometimes, the items up for grabs can at least provide guests with a moment of amusement. Some hotels…
Trust us, we here at Oyster get it more than most people — going on vacation is freakin’ awesome. Vacations are all about fun, relaxation, and the “what happens here stays here” vibe, and when you’re on a vacay, it feels like nothing can get ya down. But some hotel websites go a little too…
Though we can (almost) never turn down a chance to get our adrenaline pumping, this roller coaster at Hope Lake Lodge makes us a little queasy just thinking about it. The lodge, which sits on the Finger Lakes, has so many fun things to do that we can skip the mountain coast just this once.…

We love when hotels feature one-of-kind amenities — many of which tread the line between amazing and ridiculous (not that they can’t be both).

Los Angeles is a city all about mind-body balance. The SoCal hotspot has never been in short supply of spiritual- or health-conscious residents, so its no wonder the Sofitel Los Angeles combined the two for a total body (or, bohdi) experience. In the hotel’s zen-like fitness center, not only will you lose that Buddha belly,…
Honolulu’s Outrigger Reef on the Beach has a ton of amazing features: comfy lounge chairs, a super-chill spa, and activities that get visitors in touch with Hawaiian culture, like Aloha Fridays. While the Oahu gem delivers a dose of knowledge on the state’s history, we couldn’t help but wonder if Aloha Fridays had guests to…
The Peabody, with locations in Orlando, Little Rock, and Memphis, hold twice-daily Duck Marches, where the hotel’s resident birds make their way to lobby fountain in the morning, and then back to their “Royal Duck Palace” in the evening. The charming tradition, which started as drunken joke by Tennessee hunters in the 1860’s, draw guests…
Friendly hotel service is key to having a good stay, but sometimes the staff is just phoning it in. Though the workers at the front desk of the Villa Del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa are not necessarily writing off your constant room service requests, its hard to tell whether or not they’re just mugging…
