Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

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?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.
