2012 Grand Prize Package!
Our 2012 Grand Prize includes ALL of the following for one lucky couple!

A 7 day/6 Night Honeymoon in a villa at the Coral Beach Club in St. Maarten which includes air travel
Located in the prestigious Oyster Pond area on Dawn Beach, this picturesque region of the Caribbean island of St. Maarten/St. Martin opens a doorway to the beauty and serenity of the beach, mountains and rich tropical foliage. Fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the neighboring Caribbean island of St. Barths are the mainstay of this island beach front area. Due to the unique location, you are surrounded by a lagoon to the north and the ocean with a beautiful white sand beach to the south. The natural wonders of this region are so astonishing that, for a moment, you forget the world you have left behind once you have crossed the threshold into this island playground.
The property has been designed for people who appreciate fine living, inspiring architecture and quality design. Each unit is designed with the island setting, climate of St. Maarten, and the qualities of life associated with the tropics…all emphasizing natural ventilation and light.
