This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $97/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
