Agoda didn't have the exact dates I wanted so I couldn't do a 100% direct comparison but the rates didn't go close to matching - and I did go through to check the extra cost of tax. Can't remember the exact cost but it was around the $2800 mark from memory. But as I said, no rooms available anyway.
Booking dot com for the dates I wanted was US$3990 for 30 nights (the site won't quote for 31 nights).
Contacting the hotel direct they have quoted me US$2480 for 31 nights, all inclusive. So there's actually $1500 difference in those two prices.
Sounds to me like booking dot com is pretty expensive off those figures.
