For the best balance of great weather, affordable prices, and fewer crowds, December-April is the prime time to visit the Caribbean. However, if you're looking to save a bit more and don't mind some rain, the shoulder season in May and November is perfect. Just be sure to stay informed about the weather if you're traveling during hurricane season (June-November).
