If you are planning a tropical vacation at the beach in the Bahamas or Jamaica, you might have to change your plans right away because while the Caribbean destinations have the most irresistible cruise lines, they also remain notorious for a high crime rate.

The United States State Department has issued two advisories warning its travellers about a recent spike in crimes in the Bahamas and Jamaica.

Jamaica’s Level Three advisory alerts about potential medical care shortages, while the recent Level Two warning urges extreme caution due to crime-related issues in both tourist and non-tourist areas of the Bahamas.

“Violent crime, such as burglaries, armed robberies, and sexual assaults, occur in both tourist and non-tourist areas. Be vigilant when staying at short-term vacation rental properties where private security companies do not have a presence,” the advisory states.

The advisory also warns travellers not to answer the door at their hotel and residence unless they know who it is and to not physically resist any robbery attempts.
