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.
