Insider timing tips

  • •While the summer months (June-August) offer lower accommodation prices, the extreme heat and humidity, coupled with daily thunderstorms, can make outdoor activities uncomfortable.
  • •The shoulder months of March, April, November, and December offer a good balance of pleasant weather, manageable crowds, and reasonable, though not low, prices.
  • •January and February are peak season due to excellent weather and major events, leading to the highest crowds and prices.
