Visited Guatemala for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $112/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $71/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
