I have all of December off from work, where should I go?

I've not yet done any research whatsoever on this, and figured it would be fun to start off by asking you lot.

Is December even a good time to visit this part of the world, weatherwise?

I'll be traveling alone and I'm not looking for an action packed vacation. Beautiful scenery, tasty drinks and good food will do the trick. Beach vacations aren't normally my thing, but I think that's just what I'm in need of now.

Preferably somewhere I'm not in danger of getting robbed and stabbed every waking minute, too. That would be nice.

I'll be traveling from Norway, btw.

I lived in Grenada for a couple of years. It's a chill, safe place. I had my family there and we always felt safe, as long as we kept an eye out for speeding buses when crossing the street. It certainly checks the boxes you specified. Night life is limited. I'm planning to go back for a vacation in February.

As I recall there is a time of year that gets very windy. I think that's in winter, but my memory is fuzzy. The internet says February is the windiest, and that matches some of my memories. In any case it's always warm. I wouldn't worry about rain. That's tapered off by December. If it does rain it's a warm rain, and it's likely to come in short showers so I don't think you'd be stuck inside all day.

If you want to be in walking distance to amenities I'd recommend staying near Grand Anse. You can also get public buses there. (They are actually vans.) There are resorts close to the airport, but in those places you'd be dependent on taxis to get away from the resort - which might be fine if you want to be somewhere quieter.
