Weather: what to expect
The archipelago is warm all year round. The difference between months lies in rain and wind, not temperature. From December to April there is more breeze and little rain; from September to November there is more rain, almost always in short showers, with a calmer sea.
For water activities like snorkeling and kayaking, low-wind days are best. For the plankton tour, the phase of the moon matters more: moonless nights offer the brightest glow.
Hotel seasons
The busiest dates are Holy Week, the mid-year holidays and the year-end season. During these periods the most requested accommodations (Oceanfront Deluxe Bungalow, Villa Pool) and boat seats sell out weeks in advance.
Rates vary by season and availability; the exact rate for your dates is shown in the official booking engine.
