Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Good info. I'd add that the late night is the best time to go.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?
