We spent 2 weeks , June 4 -June 17 , at The Villas on Great Bay in Philipsburg. We noticed that only 3 ship in 2 weeks came in. In 2014 when we stayed there, on some days, there were as many as 4 ships in a day. The taxi drivers and store owners we talked to said that business was way down and felt the crime had a lot to do with it. We were even told by one of the store owners, for our safety, that we probably shouldn't be on that street ( I don't remember the street name, but it was a block from back street). He said there had been several robberies on that street. It was early afternoon and we hadn't had any problems, but we took his advice and didn't go back down there.
