We're most definitely traveling carribean, and were originally debating on Puerto Rico. After speaking with a travel agent, who suggested Costa Rica, we're now looking into honeymooning there. But, everything I read says that violent attacks on tourists have been increasing, even in the busy streets. I'm a paranoid person as it is (grew up in a bad city, and now live in the comfort of a tiny town you can leave your doors unlocked in).
Have any of you ladies gone to Costa Rica? Is it as unsafe as websites are making it out to be? Also, do you have any suggestions on a better, possibly safer destination?
I've always been amazed and obsessed with rainforests, and that's the biggest reason the travel agent suggested Costa Rica. I'm pretty much determined to see a rainforest, but if I have to, I'll settle for simply beaches. She also said it's safer than Puerto Rico. I've been there once, and felt perfectly safe.
Sorry for the long post, simply trying to cover my bases. (:
