Generally good looking with good service. Had 4 encounters total.
Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Food was cheap and delicious.

Felt safe throughout.
Overall: 8.5/10. Already planning next trip.
Happy to answer any questions.

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

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

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