Visited Venezuela for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is improved. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $71/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

This is outdated info IMO.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

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $58/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

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

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