Visited Guatemala for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $83/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.
