Has anyone been to Tips & Advice recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
