Women Traveling to Nicaragua

3 of my friends and I (white women in our mid-twenties) have a trip planned to San Juan del Sur coming up in a month or so. We're excited but nervous about the Level 3 Travel Advisory; is there anything we should be worried about or do to prepare before we go? Or any legitimate safety concerns that should deter us from going through with our trip? I (sort of) speak a tiny bit of Spanish, but know we will definitely stick out as tourists. Thank you in advance!

Update: just returned from our trip and had the best time ever. The people were wonderful and incredibly accommodating; felt safer there than in the US. A truly amazing country and we kept running into people from our hostel so we quickly felt a sense of community. Can't wait to return in the future!
