Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

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

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $83/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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