Seasons
- Dry season (December – April): Highs in the low 80s°F, lower humidity and about an inch of rain a month. The most settled weather, and the busiest and priciest time to stay.
- Warm, wetter season (May – November): Highs in the mid to upper 80s°F, more humidity and more showers, usually short. Fewer visitors and better rates.
- Hurricane season (1 June – 30 November): Activity in the Atlantic usually peaks from August to October. Most weeks pass without a storm, but consider travel insurance and flexible dates, and watch official advisories if one is forecast.
