International long‑haul holiday travelers (winter+spring) and diving tourists raise hotel and tour rates.

Budget travelers find best deals in the hottest months (summer) when demand from Europeans drops; boutique and luxury beachfront hotels hold steady year‑round but often offer packages around diving season or national holidays.
