Punta Cana is known for its excellent tropical weather almost all year, with average highs around 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Over 80% of the year is rain free. During May, you might see the island less crowded and you can find good prices on accommodations compared to the winter season (December – February). Let’s review some of the reason why you should consider May a good time to visit our island.
