Visited Mexico for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $122/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $95/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
