Quieter but worthwhile. Prices up slightly.

GFE was next level.
Overall: 8/10 - One of my favourites.
Happy to answer questions.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to bring small bills.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $66/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.
