Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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