Cons: One tiny tiny thing, I hate to see hairs from other guests in my shower. Tiny detail, but with some good rinsing during cleaning this could be avoided. Also found a long blond hair in my clean folded towel. It wasn't huge enough to complain about but just thought I'd mention so this can be remedied.

Pros: Great beach hotel, in a very convenient location. Lots of good restaurants nearby & a great beach area. We had a great 2 bedroom 2 bath condo with full kitchen. We didn't utilize the kitchen, because that is just not vacation to me. Even though the French side is known for their restaurants, we enjoyed every restaurant we at on the Dutch side. The staff was awesome. My husband left his favorite hat on the beach one day (Tommy Bahama hat...not cheap). We checked with the front desk. They did not have it, but they said they would let us know if it turned up. A couple of hours later, they called our room to say it had been found. We thought it was gone forever. Thanks guys!!

Pros: The accommodations are a very good value for the money. Being right in the middle of everything is a nice feature at night, you can walk to the bars/restaurants, shopping, marina for boating activities. The staff is very good, especially the bell hops (the one exception is the on property bar/restaurant, which is not affiliated with the resort...that staff needs a major overhaul). The apartment amenities are probably some of the best I've seen if you want or need the comforts of home. It was very clean. The beds are comfortable, the pillows are nice, the appliances are all modern and the kitchen was very well appointed. TVs in all rooms, with decent enough cable. Security on the beach and in the resort in general is very good, and its also a necessity considering the location.

Pros: The appartment was superb, 2 bedrooms and a large livingroom and kitchen. overlooking the Simpson bay.Within walkingdistance there are several restaurants. The staff was very friendly.

Cons: This resort is for families and snowbirds on extended leave.. The beach is absolutely HORRIBLE. Its man made. The water is very very dirty, theres nothing but muck and rocks to stand on when you go in the water. The sand you see in the pictures is dirt, not sand. I didnt realize how dirty the water was til i went in - ONCE. I dunked once and became drastically sick. Its a sewer. There are a ton of large boats moored just offshore. While scenic to view from your deck, I am betting all that muck and murk in the water is bilge leakage. The pool is small and totally overrun with the whining elderly and screaming children. This is a timeshare complex that caters to long term snow bird renters who are looking for value, and families that want to let their kids run wild while they sit in a chair and ignore them. NOT my idea of a carribean vacation. If your priority is a beach vacation where being on a white sand beach with that beautiful carribean water, make another choice. We spent the remaining days on the other side of the island. Also, the island itself has changed drastically, its downright dirty now. Lots of jamaican peddlers and beggers. I have made my last trip to st. martin.

On a single island where Dutch meets French lies a true island paradise. Located just footsteps from a half-mile of stunning natural beach in Sint Maartin's Simpson Bay area, the Atrium Beach Resort and Spa is a quiet, beachfront resort that overlooks the calm Caribbean Sea and is minutes from exciting watersports, the glamorous nightlife and duty-free shopping of both the Dutch and French sides of the island.The rolling hillsides, blue lagoons and breathtaking vistas of Sint Maarten don't just set the stage for a beautiful vacation; they make their mark on every visitor, building memories to be cherished for a lifetime. Taking in as much of the landscape as possible is something that many guests try to accomplish while visiting this stunning island, and the area has an ample supply of activities to do just that. Whether you prefer a scenic zip-line ride down the mountains at Loterie Farm, a stroll through the local butterfly farm or a Dutch hike through border-like Mount Concordia, Sint Maarten has something to satisfy everyone's taste.

Cons:
10,0 Excellent
Pros: Loved that it was a studio with a fully stocked kitchen. Our housekeeper was a fantastic woman who did a great job and helped direct us around the hotel when we needed something. All of the staff was accommodating and kind.
Cons: Hot water was intermittent, but with the warm weather, it wasn't too big a deal.
10,0 Excellent
Pros: The Atrium was great for us as we had stayed there before. It is a relaxing way to enjoy St Martens. It is on the beach, close to the airport and is so well located that we did not need a car. We had a great view of the Bay and mountains from our room.
Cons: The WiFi reception was sketchy at times. Car traffic on the main road near the Atrium has really turned into gridlock for most of the day from one end of the island to the other on the Dutch side.
8,2 Excellent
Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Perfect location, within walking distance of several restaurants.
Cons: The room we rented needs an update. New tile, new bathroom facilities. The internet worked in our room sporadically. Several guests plus ourselves had to go down to the lobby if we wanted good connection.

Cons: The internet service wasnt good at all I dont know if was an issue they couldnt fix but it only started working on the last day of our stay other than that everything was ok.
7,5 Good
Pros: The people were very nice. restaurant and bar staff was great. There was a worker every morning cleaning the pool. And pool was enjoyable. Maid service was prompt and good.
Cons: The store was not open. No place on the property to buy water etc. They was a small water machine in lobby but most times no cups available. While we know they are still recovering from Irma the spas on decks were empty, which was fine but filled with dirt etc. The pond on the property was not flowing which again was ok but filled with old water and dirt etc attracting mosquitos. did not see anyone working to maintain greenery and landscape. This property as the ability to be beautiful if they hire someone to take the time to main it. From our oceanview room there were roof tops of other buildings with trash and items that can easily be cleaned. a little time and staff and the place will be wonderful.

Pros: Loved our room and view! Room was clean and housekeeping was very accommodating. Loved the searing plate on the cook top. Nice covered and secured parking. Pool area clean, nice and inviting. Hotel in process of major redo from new owners. Could see a visual improvement every day.
Cons: Had to beg clean beach towels to the point of going to the laundry to obtain from housekeeping. Front desk staff friendly at best. Mostly just smile and say either okay, or sorry depending on situation. No fitness room, on site store or free WiFi in common areas as was advertised. Overall, great stay. obtw, the sheets suck! You may want to invest in your own when you get there unless they upgrade.
