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

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

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $50/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.
