Quick question for the General Information regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there last year and had a great time but I've heard some crackdowns happened.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $100/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything checks out.

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

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

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

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

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

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
