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

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

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

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $120/day all-in.

My tip: midweek is much better.
