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

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

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $118/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
