Lotofaga in April
Good time to visit
April's a gamble month where you might catch the tail end of wet season or get lucky with early dry weather. Prices stay low and beaches stay quiet, but you're still rolling the dice on daily downpours. Better to wait one more month if you can.
Weather
April marks the transition out of wet season, though Lotofaga still gets its fair share of showers. Rainfall becomes more sporadic - you might get two dry days followed by a soaker. Temperatures hold steady in the high 20s, but humidity finally starts dropping below the 75% mark.

April Tips

- •Snorkeling improves as post-rain water clarity starts returning
- •Some tour operators resume full schedules after wet season maintenance
All Months
May through October delivers the goods - dry season means fewer mosquitoes, calmer seas, and temperatures that hover around 26°C. July and August see the most visitors, though 'crowded' here means maybe 20 other tourists total. December through April brings cyclone season and daily downpours that can strand you for days. But here's what the guidebooks won't tell you - shoulder months like May and October offer the best balance of good weather and empty beaches. Trade winds pick up in June, making it perfect for just lying in a hammock all day.
