Has anyone been to Safety & Police recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

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

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

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

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $120/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.

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