All i can say is - i often stay a few days when travelling to cuba, and there appear to be security concerns round the city. I was told large parts of the countryside were very nice and safe but crime against foreigners in the city is dangerous. My hotel advised an armed guard if going out at night. Compound living?

Well, I dunno, Grenada. My wife was there for a couple of days and nights two years ago and said she felt safe wandering around. Not late at night, but still... And she wasn't in a posh area. Has the safety level deteriorated since then?

I have to be honest and say that really I dunno either for sure, but as a stranger in a strange land not doing as the hotel advised wouldn’t be wise I think. They might just have a sideline in security or keeping the punters close to the bar?

I’ll ask a friend who visits a lot and see what she says.
