The weather remains very agreeable, and you'll still have access to all the main attractions without the peak season bustle. It's a particularly good time for couples seeking a more relaxed and intimate trip.If you're planning a trip around specific water-based activities or simply prefer warmer weather for swimming, the early part of the dry season, particularly May and June, is still excellent.
