Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $120/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

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

First time was good but could have been better. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
