Whatever time of year you go, remember that crowds wax on the weekends and wane mid-week. The time of day also matters, with crowds reaching their peak at the hottest time of the day, about noon to 3 p.m. (so, there are two good reasons to take a break at this time). The resort is quietest first thing in the morning.
