The smallest island in the world to be shared by two sovereign powers (The Netherlands and France), St. Maarten provides a winning blend of Caribbean hospitality and European sophistication. Rolling hillsides, blue lagoons and breathtaking views are just a few reasons why so many visitors return every year to this island.

With its half mile of natural beach and an array of nearby water sports, the Atrium is practically paradise. This quiet, beachfront resort overlooks the calm Caribbean Sea and is minutes from the glamorous nightlife and duty-free shopping of both the Dutch and French sides of the island.

Adjoining the resort's pool area is restaurant Picante that serves Spanish and Latin-American signature dishes with an island touch. Here, the whole family will enjoy their dining experience. If tranquility, luxury, and a full-service staff are what you want, the Atrium is the place for you.

Security is available between 5 p.m. and 7 a.m. Applicable timeshare taxes and utility fees are due upon check-out. All rooms have Internet access. Free parking is available at the resort.
