I was there in January and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

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

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.
