Spent $59/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8.5/10. Exceeded expectations.

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
