Is It Safe to Visit in October or November?
Physically safe? Usually yes—buildings and hotels are typhoon-rated. But your trip will likely be disappointing: beaches closed, rain every day, and limited activities. If you must visit during this window, have backup indoor plans and trip insurance.
What About December-January?
December and January are transitional months. Rain decreases significantly, but it's cooler (72-81°F / 22-27°C) and the ocean may feel chilly for swimming. Good for budget travelers who want to avoid peak-season crowds and don't mind occasionally overcast skies.
