Best Times to Visit Jamaica
The best time to visit Jamaica is October to mid December. That's when the island's already beautiful weather (ranging from mid 70s to the high 80s all year-round) is the most glorious and the hotel and flight deals are the easiest to find. Rates are also cheap during the summer, but you'll risk the wrath of hurricane season. January to March is the peak travel season to the island -- room rates can spike to more than $700-a-night (USD) at some hotels.
