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

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to book hotels in advance.

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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.
