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 last year and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.
