Visited Guatemala for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $90/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.
AMA.
Is Guatemala worth visiting?

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $74/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?
