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

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Better quality overall.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

How's the food there compared to the Philippines?

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?
