Been thinking about visiting Philippines and wanted to get the latest intel from those who've been recently.

Specifically interested in:
1. Current price ranges
2. Best areas to base yourself
3. Any safety concerns
4. How's the quality compared to Germany?

Any recent trip reports would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

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

Adding my experience from February.

The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 7/10 destination.

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

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

Adding my experience from last month.

The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.

Spent about $115/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: midweek is golden hour.
