  Atrium (anatomy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In anatomy, the atrium (plural: atria) is the blood collection chamber of a heart.
Their circulatory systems are divided into two types: a three-chambered heart, with two atria and one ventricle, or a four-chambered heart, with two atria and two ventricles.
The atrium's function in the circulatory system includes receiving blood as it returns to the heart to complete a circulating cycle, whereas the ventricle's function is to pump blood out of the heart to start a new cycle.

In fact, we anticipate that when all the developer weeks are sold, timeshare weeks at the Atrium can only increase in value as when owners or their friends want to increase their ownership they have no choice but a resale week.
The vast majority of Atrium owners initially purchased only one week, and as they get older and take more vacations worldwide they appreciate the value of their Atrium ownership for use here in St.Maarten or on exchange through RCI, and also introduce their friends and family.
We do not think that is fair, and so as of now we will not transfer the legal ownership between owners without payment of a 20% commission (unless it is to a member of their immediate family).
