Has anyone been to any of the SLH hotels in the Caribbean and any recommendations? Heard good things about Hermitage but no points availability. Alternatively interested in feedback on something of a Zemi Beach caliber

Costa Rica and guatemala will be milder in terms of the heat but it'll also be the rainy season so will be humid and will rain sporadically. Could be other areas also but I'm pretty sure youre either going to get heat or humidity or both in the Caribbean during the summer. If you really want to avoid heat and humidity you can either go to a mountains area (alps in Europe canadian/usa rockies etc.. )or further out like south Africa which has winter during our summer. Hawaii also i remember being not too hot/humid during the summer
