I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $50/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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