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

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

Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

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

Different experience for me. Prices were lower when I went.
