Has anyone been to General Discussion recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there 6 months ago and had a mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

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

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
