Has anyone taken a vacation there? I was hoping to explore the country a little instead of being cooped up in a resort but am concerned about the safety.

The Canadian government website says this : Exercise a high degree of caution.There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Nicaragua. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to armed violence that is commonly used during criminal activities.

I seem to recall a similar warning for Mexico last year, and we did 1600km in a rented car without a hint of danger. Are these warnings standard?

Any other advice on the logistics of such a trip would be welcome. I'm just beginning to research this.
