It wasn't the travel agent who warned us. It was the people who worked there, the local that they let hang out there who gave us some good tips on things to do (and now that I look back he was probably hired to work there), and the person in charge of our Spring Break group when we got there. We left the resort during the day to shop and got approached more than a few times to buy drugs and never once walked by somewhere to eat. It was all market type places. We didn't even walk by a bar or night club. I'd rather listen to someone who actually lived in that neighborhood than someone who once lived somewhere in the country. I can tell you that Detroit is safe but it really depends on what area you go to. My friends who went to Negril had a totally different experience. Their nightlife was outside of the resort.
