Good info. I'd add that the afternoon is the best time to go.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

How long did it take you to feel comfortable?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.
