Having visited in November several times, IMO it's a great time to go! Mid to late November should be clear of hurricanes, though one really odd one struck in mid-November 1999 which is still referred to as "Wrong Way Lenny." As I recall it was a strong CAT 4 hurricane that travelled from west to east, and struck Anguilla and St. Martin on their west coasts doing some real damage to those islands. But, this is rare for such a hurricane so late in the season. We've never had an issue with a November visit, and even though overall monthly rainfall totals for St. Maarten in November are shown on the high side, we've never encountered much rain in November during our stays. Plus, a lot of places raise their accommodations pricing typically on December 1st, so sometimes you can get a better rate going a month earlier. A November visit will also buy you more time to see how COVID-19 is progressing, and the hope is that the threat from this virus will be greatly reduced by that time. Hope this helps.
