I'll have done 3 trips this year after Nov rolls around and Negrilitis only gets worse. I was there in May and I thought there were alot less 'vendors' on the beach compared to Feb. I brought my girls last year in Dec and they got hooked (20 something professionals). But it is a different mindset after the end of April... it's really about chilling.. Most nights, I was back in my room by 9-10pm since there isn't alot of night life on the beach. SO as you guys said before.. pros and cons to both seasons...
