"Update on St. Maarten
As we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic together, the health and safety of our owners and team members has remained our top priority. Nearly every industry has been impacted by the crisis and unfortunately, we have been forced to make some difficult decisions, including adjusting the reopening timeline for our resorts in St. Maarten.
The St. Maarten government has issued strict social distancing measures, including ordering all construction projects to cease work until further notice. Because of these orders, we have been forced to stop all reconstruction work at both Royal Palm Beach Resort and Flamingo Beach Resort.
With many unknown factors, including how long the government orders will last, the availability of materials on the island and the 2020 hurricane season, we cannot determine a definitive reopening date. At this time, we estimate the resorts will reopen in spring 2021. However, we caution that date could change based on the unknown factors.
We know this situation is not ideal and appreciate your understanding.
We are eager to complete work on the resorts and welcome everyone home for a much-deserved vacation. We will continue to follow all government mandates and guidelines, and hope to have a positive update for you as soon as work resumes.
In the meantime, we want to thank you for your continued support during this unprecedented time. Our Owner Services Team is available to answer any questions you may have and is available anytime by calling 1.800.463.7256."
