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

Can confirm. Was there recently and everything checks out.

Thanks for the detailed write-up. Very helpful for planning my upcoming trip.

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Spot on with the prices. Matches what I paid recently.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Saving this thread. Gold mine of information.

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

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $50/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.
