Has anyone been to Tips & Advice recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:

I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

First time was a learning experience. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.
