The Westin St Maarten Dawn Beach Resort and Spa has named Murielle Parotte-Van Henneigen the director of its Hibiscus Spa.

“I want our guests to feel like they are in heaven when they leave the spa,” said Henneigen, who recently brought Pevonia products and treatments to the spa.

The resort’s Hibiscus Spa has 10,124 square feet with 13 treatment rooms and a wet room.

Henneigen is now leading a team of 10 at the 317-room resort, which is one of the largest in St Maarten.
