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

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

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO.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

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $138/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.
