Been there 12 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

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.
