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

Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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