When To Go
With warm weather year round, there's really no bad time to go to Punta Cana. The average temperature hovers around 80°F and climbs in the summer months (May through September). This time of year is also the most humid, and thus considered the low season, when you'll find your resort quiet and the prices low. The high season runs from November to April with certain weeks being tops in terms of prices – go during spring break weeks, school vacation weeks, or the week between Christmas and New Year's and you'll pay a premium for the privilege. The best bang for your buck comes in October, when the majority of hurricane activity has historically died down, the days are less humid, and the nights are a bit cooler.
