Visited Central Mexico for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $103/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

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

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $86/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

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

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