Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $98/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.
