Jamaica Villas - Deciding When to Go to the Caribbean


Mr Blogspot can't decide when to go to the Caribbean?
I have never been one to blow my own trumpet but then again, I have never professed to being as thick as a whale steak, I am neither Albert Einstien or Stan Laurel, I'm more your avarage kind of bloke who knows more or less what he's on about. I had a question from one of the Blogpoppers, they asked me when the best time was to visit Jamaica? and what the seasons where (stupid bloody question one would have thought! Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter? No, not that type of season.)
Once I caught their drift, I decided to take advantage of the many websites offering tips on staying in Jamaica and the Caribbean, sites like "When to go to the Caribbean for Dummies!" (Oh, you don't think so? See this link then.) and they all came up with more or less the same results and advice and they are as follows.

Seasons:
Holiday season and high season (December to Mid-April)
Shoulder season (Autmn to late Spring)
Low season (June, July, August)
Hurricane season (June 1st to November 30th)
What does this mean to you, dear tourist or visitor? Well, it means there are more people about in the high season, more tourists, the some hotels have minimum stay requirements (Jamaican Treasures have no such nonesense!) and in some places you will pay a little more than in other seasons. tempreture wise theres not a lot in it.
The shoulder season can be a wonderful time, less people about, cheaper prices, THE KIDS ARE IN SCHOOL! but hey, what goes around, comes around and they let the little devils out in April, spring break and easter!.
Low season is like anywhere else, there are lower prices, better deals, less crowded beaches but you still get the good weather (give ot take the odd hurricane or tropical storm)
Hurrican season is the best time for the big bargains, OK, it may pee down now and again but the rain in the tropics comes and goes in no time and just because it's called "Hurricane" season doesn't mean your going to sat on a roof waiting for an helicopter to drag you to safety!
Check the Jamaican Treasures website for bargains in ALL seasons as we do have them. If you need any information we are always very happy to help you. If all else fails, you can always rely on your Andalucian Weather Brick (providing you have one.)
