bspicer--You might check out Flamingo and Royal Palm for a possible visit NEXT year, but there is no guarantee when they will reopen and timeshare owners will be clamoring to book there when they do. There are a lot of great places in Simpson Bay or that general area. Most of the timeshares don't have the best beaches, if the beach is a really big attraction. You can look at La Vista and La Vista Beach, which is a smaller resort, family run, with two pools. LVB is right on the ocean, although there's not a great beach there. Mary's Boon is a lovely old time Caribbean hotel, on a fabulous beach, with a small pool. To ME, my favorite place on the Dutch side is Beachside Villas. GREAT, uncrowded beach, which is my personal number 1 criteria. It's a small resort, only 14 units, so not like a huge timeshare place, but feels more like the Caribbean to me. Beachside Villas websiteHappy hunting!!

From what I am seeing from Atrium, I would NOT book Royal Palm for anytime in 2020.

We did the same thing last year, but split between French and Dutch. We stayed at the Atrium and found it fits what you are looking for except the onsite eatery. It's very convenient (walking distance) to a lot of great restaurants.

You might also visit the Royal Islander Club Le Plage owners rental site. RI is a timeshare with full unit amenities, a laundry and ALL the property amenities you’re asking for as well, and all in one very convenient location. We rented a two bedroom unit there last year and we were very happy with all aspects of the property. The only negative I had was the necessity to pay for parking but it was literally the only complaint I had and it was only $30.00 a week if memory serves me. The internet was also pay to use in the rooms but it was very good internet. We had a high unit and could watch the planes coming in over Maho Bay and we could walk out our front door and watch the activities at the airport. My DH loved it..
Respectfully,

I'm going to second the motion for Beachside Villa's!! Almost 20 years going to SXM. 10 years ago, we found at BSV on this site!!!! As I say to people that have never stayed there. You will want for nothing! Now granted, there is no restaurant on site. BUT! EL Zafiro restaurant and bar is next door that serves breakfast lunch, not sure about dinner. Contact Tracey Mascarin for rates. You'll thank me for this referral!! http://www.beachsidevillas.com/
Sand Gravity, got to love it!
