I was there in March and prices were exactly as described. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
