Second timer to India and first timer to Mumbai - any advice appreciated

Hi All

After 5 years I'll be back to India (only know BLR and HYD so far) in July again on a mixed business/ fun trip - arriving at 6am in J with BA on a Thursday and heading Saturday late PM with AI to Doha.

Will be staying in JW Marriott Juhu as I like to see some sea (or is this a bad idea for a first timer?).

Any advice for to do's / not to do's much appreciated - thinking of getting the airport hotel transfer (or can I do a standard taxi/ Uber without getting ripped off?)? Is the AI lounge any good before my flight out? Any must visits during my stay? Do I need to get some INR beforehand (I remember last time I almost couldn't get an ATM working). I do know though to print my evisa/ tickets/ etc in advance.

I know a very general ask but I would appreciate any wisdom
