Bear with me here... Just another "which island should we choose" thread

[rydog]

Everyone likes Curacao! I'd really like to get a different island "feel" though since we have been several times to Bonaire. By a different feel I mean less desert and more lush green.

I've got a question for other posters. Since the OP is talking about traveling in Jan./Feb. 2013, how apt would you guess they are to run into issues with the hurricane season, and how might their odds be better in, oh, say, late Feb. vs. early to mid. Jan.?

I ask because I've been to Bonaire 6 times & was considering Roatan, but one thing I noted was the rainy season potential.

I think it's a non-issue for hurricanes:

Hurricane Season Dates

Hurricane season in the Atlantic begins June 1st and ends November 30th.

I think Roatan's North side may still be tentative late winter/early spring for rougher weather but IDK for certain. The South side doesn't, when the north gets blown out the bigger operators move their boats over and shuttle everyone across island. Cocoview is on the south side.

Sorry, I meant to say rainy season, not hurricane season. My bad.
