Hi Mich Glad to hear you've booked Antigua. Have you ever stayed at a sandals before? If you have any questions please feel free to ask. I've lived on the island most of my life.

Hi All, Well i am from that little island Antigua. As a local here we were horrified of this murder. Needless to say 2 young boys have been arrested. Antigua's murder rate is nothing comparable to islands like jamaica or even larger cities such as Miami or New York. We only have a small population of 100,000 people. I'm not making excuses here but the media houses only want to sell news they don't care of the exaggerations tagged with it. The murder took place 5 mins from my house and up to this day I sleep with my windows open. My house is unlocked during the day, my car keys left in the car. this event devastated the island but as a local we live a laid back and safe lifestyle comparable to the rest of the world. I was educated in Miami and london, 2 major cities and there is no way i will exchange my island life again. Where ever you go know your limits. Be cautious as you are in the city you live in. If anyone has any questions or concerns please please contact me. Regarding security, hotels, restaurants, beaches. Our thoughts and prayers are still with the families of the young couple
