I`d try and be a bit more relaxed about it.
It`s an adult playground, not an assault course.

First couple of times I went(alone)hadn`t read anything
on internet and nothing bad happened to me.

Maybe Don`t get too drunk on your 1st night(assuming you drink)
and Do keep your hotel/guest house business card with you, some fellow in a bar had forgotten the location of where he was staying,
card would of been useful in that instance.

Just enjoy your trip.

Don't go down the beach at night on your own.

Solid advice. Happened to me once in Amsterdam. Someone else at work had booked the whole holdiay - flights and hotel. I just turned up. Started drinking in Glasgow Airport at 7 in the morning. Two drinks in Schipoll before we got a taxi. Room wasn't ready at the hotel so we dumped our bags and got hammered and went for a walk about. Ended up lost in Amsterdam, every street seemed to look the same. Not a clue where the hotel was or what street it was on. Could only remember its name, so had to get a taxi back there.
