Consider factors such as the best time to visit, where to stay, and what activities to do. Most hotels would offer better rates when you book in advance. Especially in the following dates : Mid-January and before the spring break and Mid-August to the first days of December. Additionally the weather in these periods is much more benevolent : mid-70s to the low 90s Fahrenheit (around 24-33 degrees Celsius) during the day and mid-60s to mid-70s Fahrenheit (around 18-24 degrees Celsius) at night. The humidity is also typically lower.
