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

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $114/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $121/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

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

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

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