Visited Central Mexico for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $84/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.

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

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

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