This is a very safe part of the world in terms and of crime, to the extent that people were comfortable leaving their iPhones on a sunbed and going for a swim or wandering off for half an hour. Everyone on the island knows everyone, it has a beautiful small community vibe. The local men are genuinely very friendly to all visitors but often try their luck with solo female travellers and on more than one occasion would try to put their arm around me or another female. Just be quite direct saying no otherwise they will continue trying to sweet talk you which gets annoying and uncomfortable. The island is without doubt the most beautiful place I have ever been to in my life, absolutely worth the bumpy catamaran trip from San Andres. Incredible snorkelling and diving and relaxed vibes all round. Food and drink were great (try the coco locos!) on South West beach which has beautiful sunsets too. I stayed at Posada Miss Portia which I would highly recommend
