12/12 found this review helpful

Wife and I celebrated 10 years recently, and we stayed at the atrium for 5 nights. We had a week reservation, but could not take advantage of the entire period. I called in advance to inform the resort that we would be arriving a day late (Sunday vice Saturday). No problems there.
After the 10 minute drive from the Airport to the resort, we checked in. The resort did not standout that much from the other nearby buildings. Another nearby resort was having some major upgrade work though and from a distance, I worried it was the Atrium. I was happy when I realized that the Atrium was not that resort.
The resort has a nice, open lobby. Plenty of plants and small furniture to go with the island decor. A desktop computer with DSL internet was in the lobby and 2 rickety elevators were very close by. The front desk staff was helpful, but wondered why we were a day late. Apparently he didn't get my message; no problem. We were able to check in around 2:30pm. We were given a unit on the third floor (303). We entered to find the housekeeping performing their last minute cleaning. After seeing us, they smiled and quickly finished up.
Our room was clean, odor free, and had an ocean view, although several palm trees blocked all but a few glimpses of the beach. I would recommend getting something on the 4th floor or higher if you really want a good view of the beach. As luck would have it, I had a nice view of the pool. The nearby (1/4 mile) resort construction/repair was easily visible, but did not generate much noise. The unit had a full kitchen with stove top and oven unit, tall fridge, dual kitchen sink, and several cabinets full of dishes. A table with 4 chairs sat right under the TV hutch. A fold out sofa was at the far end of the room, facing the 36 inch LCD television set. Our bedroom had a king size, although very firm, bed, with two in-tables, a chair and dresser. The complimentary safe was a pleasant surprise and was located in the back of the closet.
Our bathroom was clean, modern, but not new. It had a single sink with a toilet and shower/tub combo. It had a bedroom and hallway entrance and plenty of room to handle both of us at once. With only a few cosmetic flaws, this bathroom passed the wife's test with a good score.
We received fresh towels and clean sheets our first 2 days there. The cleaning lady came Wednesday (3rd day), but we were taking it easy so declined her services. We received nothing on Thursday, our final day (but the resort did not know we were leaving). When we left on Friday, they had installed a wireless internet connection in our room. It came with a note stating that all the rooms were going to get wireless internet service in the next few weeks.
The resort parking was easy to get to and we never had to search for a spot. The gate was opened by your room key, and was left up during the day. Security was present most days, if not in the parking garage, then around the lobby and pool. Speaking of which, the pool was small, but adequate. It was close to the restaurant and only about 50 yards from the beach, but was not in direct view. Nothing too fancy. We ate lunch at the resort restaurant, Picantes and had a decent meal and great drinks. $40 for the two of us, including tip.
I must say that the one thing that the Atrium has going is its location. Simpson Bay has tons of restaurants within walking/staggering distance. A couple of casinos, a beach, grocery store, and marina were 10 minutes away by foot. It is easy to get to/from, and isn't right on the main road. Traffic can get backed up around the Simpson bay area pretty easily though.

All-in-all we liked the Atrium. I knew we were not going to get a ritzy, lush resort. I set my expectations accordingly and was pleasantly surprised.
PRO's-- Our room was clean, comfortable, and functional. The staff did their job and helped out when asked. The location can't be beat and really mitigated some of the worries I had about getting around the island.
CON's-- The ocean view was distracted by the nearby construction. We got asked to attend a timeshare presentation (but only once). Many small repairs were going on around the property (i.e.. picnic table repairs, tree replacement/thinning, and pressure washing of the pool areas), but this may have been due to it being the off season.

We would gladly book here again!

“Great Vacation”

Atrium Resort

Apr 5, 2007
14/15 found this review helpful

We are RCI members and used our trade to stay at the ATRIUM, everything went smoothly with no problems. There were 4 of us and we had a 2 bedroom unit. The room was very clean and newly decorated including LCD TVs which we never had time to watch , and a fully equiped kitchen which we used primarily for breakfast. The view of Simpson Bay and the Ship harbor from our balcony was great .The beach was nice and not too crowded with plenty of chairs and cabanas. The construction on the hotel about a block away is continuing but we did not find the noise level a problem. The hotel staff were always helpful and friendly. We found the location of this hotel perfect as we could walk to 25 plus resturants and 2 casinos in 10 to 15 minutes. The food was good and prices less than in the States. We ate at LEE'S good, the BOATHOUSE very good ,JIMBO'S good and our favorite THE BUCCANEER on the hotel grounds which had the best burgers , pizza and hotdogs on the island. Live band several nights ,$ 1.00 drink specials and modest prices. We rented a car for 1 day [which was enough for us] and drove around the island. The french side was nice but more expensive and not as convenient as the Dutch side. It was raining so not much happening at Orient Beach. We took the boat to ST BARTS which is very French and beautiful with a great beach at ST JOHNS ,but be prepared for high prices in general, still worth the trip. The sea is quite rough on this crossing but it only takes 45 minutes. WE WILL GO BACK TO ST MAARTEN AND THE ATRIUM

“Great Place 2nd Time Around”

13/13 found this review helpful

We had a great time after one week with 3 other couples in St Martin. We went with 3 other couples who have all been to St Martin some of which in excess of 7 times. The hotel staff did what they could to make our stay there a great one. Although the rooms were somewhat outdated none of cared since it was clean and close to the two main cities on the island. The beach is ok but half of us love Mullet Bay while the other half like Orient Beach better. But again the rooms were open clean and very comfortable. We had a two bedroom on the eighth floor with great views from one of the bedooms and living room. The group would all stay again at the Atrium as we would make that our 3rd time at the Atrium. Can't wait to go back to St Martin and the Atrium.

10/11 found this review helpful

We went to the Atrium for 10 days in February 2006 and spent a great time there.

Location: Close to the airport in a quiet bay with a great beach to enjoy when you are not in the mood to go to other beaches.
There are various restaurants at walking distance and a convenience store just across the street (with reasonable prices) to fill the fridge with beverages, french cheese, etc.

Property: Rooms are spacious, well equiped, very nice balconies. Everything you need to spend a great time. Upon our arrival AC was broken and sent someone and in one hour we have the equipment replaced by a new one, working great.

Staff: Is not particularly friendly, but efficient enough. Don't expect 5-star pampering in this resort, but staff do their job. We needed some extra time for the check out, and they were able to accomodate our request. Unlike other time-share resorts, staff do not bother you to attend any party or presentation in order to sell the property to you.

This was a great finding thanks to contributors to tripadvisor.

“disapointed at first, but got better”

2/2 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Atrium Dec 16-23 06. When we got to our first room #400. we were very disapointed, it was very small & no patio. We went down in the morning & talked to the manager, the people at the front desk were very nice. They moved us to room #804. This room was much nicer & had a nice patio & veiw. I just got done booking our trip for next year & we staying here for the first week & at the Belair for the 2nd week.
