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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $74/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
