By regular crowd, I presume you mean the non-cruisers, which don't 
contribute to the reservation load on hotels/resorts.  Like most any 
place south of English, it's red season and bookings (and prices) are 
up, but hotel/resort bookings now shouldn't be problematic. 
Separately booking a rental vehicle may be another matter, as by the 
time you get there, usually the worst of the lot is still parked - the 
day-timers (cruisers) are driving (wrecking) their day-long choices 
already.  If you book a rental through a resort, their supply is 
better suited to their own clients.  If you book without a rental, 
getting a taxi to go anywhere is next to impossible without a bribe, 
as the day-timers have them swamped.
