Visited Central Mexico for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $92/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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

This is outdated info IMO.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.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to use a VPN.
