What the community said
July brings intense heat — stepping outside in the evening feels like a sauna. The water is warm and kids handle it fine, though adults may struggle more with the heat.

In the lagoon, water is cold in the morning at low tide, but warms up nicely after the afternoon high tide comes in.

Water felt cool on arrival but warmed up within a few days. By the end of the stay, evening swims before dinner were comfortable even for a 3.5-year-old. Shaded spots are slightly cooler; sunny-side water warms up faster due to the shallow depth.
