Nicaragua & Safety: Nicaragua often conjurers up images of civil unrest and political instability. However, more than 20 years have past since those turbulent days and Nicaragua is now a peaceful and stable democratic nation. According to INCAE, the Harvard Business School affiliate in Nicaragua, Nicaragua is the safest country is all of Central America. Recent studies also show that Nicaragua has an extremely low reported crime rate - lower than in Germany, France or the US.

Nicaragua Today: Affordable and Low-Key
"When I heard out-of-date country tunes playing at every restaurant we patronized, I realized it was, even more curiously, a quirk of the whole island. At the faintly countercultural Anastasia’s on the Sea, there were Beatles and Oasis songs as well. Anastasia’s rents oceanfront rooms of a kind I haven’t stayed in since my twenties, but its restaurant is a place where I’d happily be a habitué. Until I walked the 20 paces to the end of the pier at Anastasia’s, over the dazzling blue-green shallows and into the rustic, colonnaded one-room restaurant, I didn’t even realize that I had a Platonic ideal of Caribbean space: this is it, the real thing, intimate but not claustrophobic, bare wooden walls with blue-and-white trim, open windows, snorkels and flippers for rent in a corner; an absolutely cool, cozy place surrounded by nothing but sky and sea in 20 shades of blue. Our lunch of lobster, fried shrimp, and Toña beer was an excellent pretext for sitting a long, long time and feeling happy to be alive." [entire article]

Nicaragua's Corn Islands, an unspoiled Paradise
"This Central American outpost is far off the travel grid, but the payoff is solitude, scenery and some of the best water sports in the Caribbean - at bargain rates..."
"....Diving and fishing are the big deal on Great Corn. The best snorkeling can be reached by foot (or fin) at Anastasia's on the Sea, on the eastern side of the island. From this hotel, which also rents kayaks and fishing rods and offers sport-fishing trips, snorkelers can walk out 60 feet and explore the reef for $3 an hour." [entire article]
