Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
