Visited Central Mexico for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $129/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 7.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.
