Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Adding my experience from February.

The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.

Spent about $112/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: go early evening for best selection.
