The Art of Smart Timing
For the best deals, plan a visit for January to mid-February, or between mid-August and mid-December. Mid-February to mid-April and mid-December to New Year's are times when you'll find the highest rates, along with plenty of crowds. Summer is hot and humid, but water activities bring relief. October, which promises lower crowds along with warm air and ocean temperatures, is a particularly nice time to visit. November is a little cooler and more crowded, but brings a lesser chance of rain, along with holiday festivities. For best results at securing your desired accommodation, book well in advance.
All About the Extras

At holiday times, the resort features special activities and decorations, from a menorah lighting ceremony to Christmas trees bedecked in starfish and sea turtle ornaments.
