How long did it take you to find the good spots?

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.
