This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $86/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $120/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
