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.
Trying to decide between this and Colombia.
Cheers

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 much better. Experience makes all the difference.

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

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

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: go early evening.
