Best time to visit Antigua,

I've just been lucky enough to win an all inclusive to Antigua, and expect to take it next year, what I would like to know is when is the best time to visit when its not too hot , humid or rainy, Ive never been on this type of holiday , so it will be all new to me.
Thanks Donie,

Rainy/hurricane season starts from May to November ,with mid May-end of June being the high of rain ,and Sept-mid Oct being the prime for hurricanes in the Caribbeans in general...We've been to Antigua in early May a few years ago and had just drops. We were in Riviera Maya (Mexican Caribbean)this late August , again a few drops (for 6, 7 minutes)1 day out of 8 ,no big deal , came home and got hit by Isabelle !

Hi Donie,
Congrats on your win- I think you are going to absolutely love Antigua!!

Did you happen to win the AI trip to Antigua for Gallrey Bay on Regis and Kelly? I heard that they are giving trips away for Galley Bay.

Anyway, I went to Galley Bay, Antigua for my honeymoon on the last week of June 2000. The weather was perfect and since i live on the East Coast. and the weather can get bad- i enjoyed flying in June when it was nice weather. I was tanned up a little, so I would not burn and the weather in Antigua was perfect, but if you check the forecast for the Caribbean islands-the weather is usually always really nice

Donie,

We visited Blue Waters when we were at Antigua- the resort is lovely and the beach it is situated on is a wonderful looking one. We went on an island tour with a couple from England who were staying at Blue Waters and they did not have enough nice things tro say about it- they absolutely loved it. Best of luck.
