Best time to visit: The best time to visit is typically December to April, during the dry season with lower humidity and less rain. May and June can be pleasant shoulder months with fewer crowds but more showers. The Atlantic hurricane season runs roughly from June to November, with the highest storm risk usually from August to October.. Longer daylight hours during this period help travelers recover from jetlag more quickly, as natural light is the strongest zeitgeber (time cue) for resetting your circadian rhythm.

Consistent tropical daylight and stable temperatures year-round minimize seasonal sleep disruption, though hurricane season (June-November) may affect travel patterns.
