On the basis of crime rates, some of the least safe Caribbean Islands to visit include Puerto Rico, Haiti, and Trinidad and Tobago. However, it's important to note that most crime in the Caribbean is an internal problem, primarily linked to inner-city neighbourhoods far from tourist resorts.
The property market in Antigua and Barbuda is noticeably more affordable when compared to other countries. Generally considered one of the safest Caribbean countries, Antigua and Barbuda is a wonderful place to relocate as a solo traveler or with a family.
Safety: Aruba is considered to be one of the safest places in the Caribbean, with first-world infrastructure and a relatively low crime rate. While there are plenty of safe places to spend time in Jamaica, there are also some areas that tourists should absolutely avoid.
Jamaica - Level 3: Reconsider Travel. Reconsider travel to Jamaica due to crime and medical services. U.S. government personnel under Chief of Mission (COM) security responsibility are prohibited from traveling to many areas due to increased risk.
If we are comparing Jamaica Vs Barbados for safety, Barbados wins. While I never once felt unsafe during my trip to Jamaica, it has more reports of assaults, cases of kidnapping and robbery than Barbados.
Hurricanes occur during the low season, specifically from June 1 to November 30. The risk peaks in August and September and occasionally extends into October and even November. Travel companies generally advise against going to the Caribbean during these months.
For the typical tourist , the Turks and Caicos is one of the safest countries in the broader tropical Atlantic and Caribbean region. However, crime does take place, and there are many considerations that visitors should be aware of.
Mexico has a lower absolute crime rate (54) than the Dominican Republic (61), so on a numbers basis you're safer in Mexico. However, in both cases, if you keep to the resort or stay in the tourist areas, you're unlikely to encounter a problem.
Barbados has the largest white population but it never participated in Indian indentureship, so the black African-descent population dominance established during enslavement continues undisturbed (CARICOM Capacity Development Programme, 2009: 30).
