We are booked to stay at the Atrium in May. We would like to hear about conditions at the Atrium from anyone who has stayed at the Atrium within the last month or is currently staying there; state of repair, cleanliness, Internet access, other general comments/issues. We have stayed there many times in the past and are wondering what it is like right now.

Hi, you have nothing to worry about returning to the Atrium. It is just fine. The staff with take care of anything you may need that possibly is missing from your room. We just returned from 3 weeks and could almost fool ourselves that not much had changed....well, except for the missing palms, and visiting the French side. While there is still much to do, the sun, sand, and people make it just as wonderful.

We really didn't participate. Less than 100 boats entered. All parties were at PDP so we never went to any. Did not see any teams eating at restaurants on Welfare Road. Ate dinner one night at Palms and we were the only ones there. Sale & Pepe was busy the night we were there. Found a couple of new places Snoopy's and Nowhere Special. Ate at Dinghy Dock one night for their $5 steak night on Saturday. Would go again. The highlight of the trip was a food & wine pairing at Emilio's with a guest chef. Went back for our last night on the Island. Weather was beautiful, friends provided laughs. A different vibe this year. We looked up our favorites servers and hope they can hang in there while the Island recovers.

Regatta was slow. The stage area at PDP was fenced off. You had to pay $15 PP Fri and Sat to enter. $25 to enter on Sun. There was some vendors set up out side the fence but not as many as years before. Free dingy taxi from the Yacht Club to PDP as previous years.

Hi. Suggest you exchange room numbers by PM. Don't put your room number on the board, for security reasons. Enjoy your stay!!
