Visited Brazil for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $83/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $140/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

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

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

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