Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

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.

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.
