Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $86/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

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