The weather is a dream – the sun always shines, the humidity is low, and temperatures are in the mid 80s. It’s also when hotels and beaches are the most packed, and prices are at their highest.
Off Season: September to November
These months are the heart of hurricane and rainy season, so your idyllic beach getaway may get sidetracked by a storm. On the upside, you can score dirt-cheap hotel rooms.
Sweet Spot: May to August
If you can handle the humidity, you’ll be rewarded by fewer crowds and great deals at luxury hotels. Temperatures regularly reach above 85˚F. While hurricane season officially begins in June, Cancun is not especially prone to the storms until fall.
