Rick and I will continue to go until we find that we cannot remove ourselves from our resort during the daytime. Night time is never a problem for us because we usually stay within Maho. In fact my nephew and his wife will be going in September and we are very excited for them. For us, nighttime is party time since there are so many people hustling and bustling. It is not desolate and things do not quiet down from morning to night. Afternoons can be somewhat reserved and quiet but not enough to produce a desolate feeling.
Yes, I agree that the incident with Bruce and Kim hit home but 1) we don't rent villa's and 2) we stay on the Dutch side which is more populated which in this case is a major plus for many reasons, including the odds. The Dutch side also has so many more things within walking distance and very short driving distance with well lit roads in most major areas like Simpson and Maho for night driving.
My Observation: It seems that many more people that prefer the French side are making the decision to not go... Is this because the French side maybe offers too much peace and quiet? Is it the Euro combined with the safety reason? And I am not trying to be a wiseguy either...
I just want to know why there is such an extreme.
