Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $66/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
