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

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.
