Been thinking about visiting General Information 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 the Philippines?

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

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.

Spent about $146/day all-in. Quality was excellent.

My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

This is outdated info IMO.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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
