Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

Been there 8 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was much better. Experience makes all the difference.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
