Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were higher.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
