March - April

March and April bring much warmer temperatures, as well as crowds with the celebration of the Easter Holy Week. Accommodations and travel can be scarce during this time of year, it is best to book way in advance if you plan to visit during the Holy Week. The humidity levels start to rise during this time of year and it is the last months of the dry season, still a great time to visit the tropical islands.
