Visited Guatemala for 5 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $123/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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