I have friends in Boston that go 2 or 3 times a year to Aruba and never even mention being unsafe
Agree with this. Went to Jamaica all inclusive resort several years ago. Resort was great and felt very safe but wandering off the resort the abject poverty was disconcerting. That’s why I’m just not a big fan of the Caribbean but to each his own.
