Has anyone been to Tips & Advice recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

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

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.
