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

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $133/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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