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

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $55/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
