Insider tips for March
- If you want quiet, stay at the Corridor (Esperanza, Chileno Bay, Waldorf Astoria Pedregal). Spring Breakers don't make it past the Marina.
- Spring Break crowds peak roughly March 8-22. Going late March (after the 25th) gets you warming weather without the chaos.
- Reserve restaurant tables 2-3 weeks ahead — even off-strip spots fill up fast.
