Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
