Best time to book low-season Bahamas AI hotel?

I will be traveling to the Bahamas this June and was curious as to when I can start seeing some fluctuation in prices. As of now, pretty much every site I visit is within ~$20 of each other on a 1 week stay.

Is it worth booking now to lock in the rate incase it goes up / or cancel and rebook if price drops?

- Thanks

As the OP is focused on the Bahamas, I'll move this to the dedicated forum on the region. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator, TravelBuzz.

I'm not sure if June is considered low season. Compare the prices you see for June to the prices for December. That will give you an idea of the savings you are getting.

June is a busy time at many all-inclusives in the Bahamas, since it's wedding season, and all-inclusives are very popular with honeymooners. I would try November or early to mid December if you're looking for low season prices.

If i were you i would book now. Low season in the Bahamas is usually Sept-Oct.

Basically the rest of the year is high demand, ranging from snowbirds, to springbreakers, to summer families

this always has amazed me that people spend $ to get to the Caribbean or Mexico resorts when it is summertime in the U.S., makes the world go 'round I guess.

For non-Caribbean destinations like the Bahamas, fishing and diving are usually better in the summer months.
Agree that Sept/Oct may get better rates.

It's not so much the weather as the scenery and the feeling of relaxation/solitude you get when you think "island".



You simply can't get this in the U.S. Even the keys can't stand against most limestone Caribbean islands.
