The seasons
Peak: December to April
Sunny, dry and comfortable, with highs from the mid 70s to low 80s Fahrenheit. This is the busiest and most expensive time, so book early.
Shoulder season: May to mid-August
Warm, sunny and much quieter, with lower rates. June is a lovely month to visit, July is exceptional, and early August is great, especially before restaurants begin to close for the slow season.
Slow season: late August to October
The peak of hurricane season. Many restaurants and hotels close for a break, so check before you book. Travel insurance and flexible bookings are a smart idea.
