Back from General Information. Spent 4 days, here's the breakdown:
Accommodation: Guesthouse near the action. $39/night.
Scene: Absolutely packed — no shortage of options.
Prices: Great value — cheaper than last year.
Highlights: The GFE experience here is next level.
Overall: 8.5/10 — exceeded expectations.
Ask me anything.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

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

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