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

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

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about ${pick(["50","80","100","120","150"])}/day all-in.
My tip: Get a local SIM on arrival.
