June to November is the hurricane season. The weather does influence travel decisions, and often, inaccurate reporting of information on hurricanes results in needless cancellations by holidaymakers. Many hoteliers in The Bahamas have instituted a Hurricane Hotel Policy for holidaymakers, which states that visitors who cancel a Bahamas holiday during a hurricane will receive an immediate refund with no penalties.

If caught on-island during a hurricane, hoteliers will extend the lowest possible rate and all possible courtesies.
