Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

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

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

First time there was great thanks to forum advice. Second time I knew the ropes and it was like a completely different trip. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.
