100% agree. The value there is hard to beat.

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.

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

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.
