During these months, you can expect warm temperatures, typically ranging from 28°C to 32°C. The ocean is usually tranquil and clear, great for swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding.

For those planning a relaxing beach holiday, this dry season provides the most reliable conditions. You'll find it convenient for enjoying the resort amenities and exploring the natural beauty of the area without the interruption of daily rain showers. However, it's also the most popular time, so booking your accommodation and activities in advance is advisable.

The shoulder seasons, May and November, can also be a good option for travellers who prefer fewer crowds and potentially lower prices, while still enjoying decent weather.

You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival.
