How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $112/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

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