Our AA flight was due to arrive Thursday 4/9/20 at 1:20pm, changed to 3:50pm. We are staying in GC and were planning on walking to dinner at Piazza Pascal or Bistro Caraibes, but now with us getting in later by the time we get to hotel and check in, dinner wouldn't be before 7pm, meaning the walk back would be after dark. So as a first timers, with many future visits hopefully, can you help me out with these?

1) Is my 10 minute walk back to hotel after dark reasonable, what would you suggest. We are staying at Bleu Emeraude.

2) Any preference as to which dining establishment, I've read great things about both.

3) We have a car reserved at SXM, but to save time by avoiding the rental activity that day, we thought we could just cab it to hotel in GC then grab a car from a local company (maybe Kennys if they serve GC area) on Friday morning.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
