I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $115/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $75/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
