I was there in Feb also, no worries. But I know, not matter what city I travel in whether it be in the US or any of the islands, there are certain things you don't do! And in all the guidelines at EVERY hotel I've stayed at, wearing expensive jewelry, and flashing large amounts of cash is a no no.

Not all caribbean islands are crime destinations. Come to Cayman Brac and wear all the jewelry you want. On Brac, you can stroll anytime, anywhere without the fear of assault, robbery, rape or murder. When I lost my wallet a few months ago, I just had to go to the police station and pick it up. No credit cards or money were touched. Apparently, that is the way it is whenever anyone losses something. I never lock up anything when I am on Cayman Brac or Little Cayman, and haven't had an issue yet. If you want a crime free , awesome vacation, than try the Sister Islands. Cheers
If you read what I wrote, I said when you travel anywhere in the
US, Canada, or the Caribbean you should use the same precautions. I've never had an issue any where either, I went to Punta Cana last month, left my back pack on the trolley that transferred us to the terminal, my laptop, tablet, and other electronics were in it, got it back with everything there, leave my camera, and other electronics in my room all the time, and never had anything stolen, forgot to lock my safe with cash, credit cards and passport visible, nothing was touched. To make a big deal out of someone getting robbed like it never happens is
ridiculous people get robbed all the time in all over the world. Hawaii is a great tourist destination, first time I went there got my rental car and opened the truck, there is a big ole sticker
DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES IN THE TRUNK!! never stopped me from going back again!!
Also when in Hawaii, I stay at Hilton Hawaiian Village, if you don't know it's the hotel featured on Hawaii 5 O, great place to stay love to stay there, but one of the first things they tell you is
"Do not walk on the beach after dark"
