Back from Guatemala. 14-day trip. Here's my breakdown:
Accommodation: Mid-range hotel near the action. $40/night.
Scene: Not as busy as hoped but still good.
Prices: fair for the quality.
Highlights: The GFE here is next level.
Overall: 7.5/10.
Ask me anything.

First time there was great thanks to forum advice. Second time I knew the ropes and it was much better. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.
