First time was good but could have been better. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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