Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

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

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

I was there in January and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
