The best time to visit the Caribbean
The best time to visit the Caribbean is during the Northern Hemisphere winter, particularly between December and April. During this time, the weather is beautifully warm, sunny, and dry, with little rainfall, making it perfect for lazy beach days and exploring the attractions of these amazing islands. Nighttime temperatures are also cool enough for enjoying a comfortable night's sleep (or all-night parties).
If you're looking to avoid the crowds then it's best to steer clear of the winter weeks, particularly the Holiday Season. Around Christmas and New Year's, festive sun seekers flock to the Caribbean, making for a busy time on the islands.

Driving on Caribbean islands can be a challenging experience, especially if you're not familiar with the roads which can twist and turn. Parking is also at a premium in many tourist spots, so it might be best to forgo the car for this trip.
