All Months
April through November gives you the sweet spot – less rain, fewer crowds, and slightly cooler temperatures. The trade winds keep things comfortable, and you'll see maybe three or four rainy days per month instead of the daily afternoon downpours that hit during summer.
July and August bring the most visitors and the highest prices. Hotels jack up rates by 30-40% during French vacation season, and good luck getting a dinner reservation at Bloody Mary's without booking weeks ahead.
March through May offers the best value. You'll catch the tail end of mango season, the water stays warm from summer, and hotel rates drop significantly. Just pack a light rain jacket – you'll get the occasional tropical shower, but they pass quickly and leave everything smelling like frangipani.
