Quick question for the General Information regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

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

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

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.
