Has anyone been to General Discussion recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- New venues worth checking out
I was there in 2024 and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.
Planning to go back next month.
Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

I was there in March and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
