St. Maarten Fractional Ownership - One Island, Two Nations.

Pelican Marina Residences fractional villa ownership provides vacation home enjoyment customized to your lifestyle.  Richard Corso, C.E.O. of Royal Resorts Caribbean reports, "We spent years talking with owners at all of our luxury resorts and asked them what they wanted.  We developed Pelican Marina Residences with maximum flexibility and all the guarantees our owners have come to expect and enjoy.  Every villa has incredible ocean views and is appointed with all the comforts you desire.  Our owners pay only for the time they plan to use their St. Maarten home, and of course, no reservations are required."  This concept provides the ability to own your own luxury vacation villa for the exact number of weeks, the precise time of year, and the specific location selected.  All villa operations and owner services are provided with systems by Royal Resorts.

In your very own St. Maarten villa, you can relax and recharge your batteries the St. Maarten way, enjoy longer Caribbean vacations with your family and even invite friends or colleagues to enjoy your Caribbean villa.

At the luxury Caribbean villas of Pelican Marina Residences, you are able to choose your villa location and the time of year you would like to visit.

With fractional vacation home ownership, you'll be able to stay in the same villa, for the same weeks every year. The use of your luxury condo is guaranteed without the need for a reservation or even a phone call to confirm. All you do is arrive at your specified time and your luxury villa in the Caribbean will be ready and waiting for you.
