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

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

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

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
