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

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: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

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