Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

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

I was there in February and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.
