Visited Mexico for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is as described. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $123/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. One of my favourites.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

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

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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $109/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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