With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
