Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
The scene has definitely improved 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.

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

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

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

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